Awarded the first BARTG Golden Jubilee Award Certificate for his UK Call and #2 for VA6APB

He is now AWARDS MANAGER for BARTG

First licensed in 1967 as class B 432Mhz and upwards, over the year with more bands given to Class Bs and eventually granting of FULL status. Now active on all bands on Data and Phone from 160m to 23cm with gear and aerial farm to match. One of my loves back in mechanical machine days was RTTY, and since the advent of computers this has recently brought me back to the mode. The other Radio activity is 160m Radio direction Finding in the UK countryside. Add to this owning a Caterham 7 which I built from a kit in 2004 and having driven many race tracks in the UK, France and Belgium, and a holiday in 2009 to drive many of the passes in SE Switzerland. I have worked overseas for many years but maintained a base in the UK where I own a smallholding farm, just the thing to grow towers and my wifes horses. Now retired and active from my UK shack again.
