Thank you for looking at my QRZ page - I'm Charlie, a radio amateur based in the city of Chelmsford - South East England. I've been licensed since 2001 when I took the old RAE and Morse Code test. The PZT comes from my late Father's callsign, G6PZT.

I operate mostly HF, typically SSB, PSK/RTTY, some JT65 and, more recently, a bit of CW. The main radio in the Shack is an FT-950 which was upgraded from an FT-450D.

I like to experiment with aerials and all those in use here are home-brew - Typically, I use a fan-dipole for 40m/20m/17m and a CobWeb for 20m-10m. If I operate on 80m, I will typically use an Inverted-L.

For work, I am a software developer and broadcast engineer. I write/maintain a number of applications for use in radio broadcasting. These applications are typically written in Visual Basic/.NET and Delphi.

Also home-brew is my logbook/datamode application, PZTLog - This came about as a simple logger but has grown into my everyday logger, PSK, RTTY, eQSL and DX Cluster monitor.
