Click for more detail... CQ Zone 14 ITU Zone 27 LOC Zone IO93GJ I was born in Sheffield, worked and lived most of the time in the City. Came in to contact with large number of Radio Hams. I sat the new Foundation exam and got my first licence on the 24/04/02 M3ANC. I have been a SWL for 25 years, part of this was spent in the Royal Signals TA as a radio operator, this helped with the morse. I passed the RSGB morse exam in 1997. Due to work and the shutting down of local Colleges it was difficult to find anywere local for me to sit the exam. The interest of radio as never gone away as close friends got there Amateur licences I was left just to listen, eventualy I got the M3ANC and could now join in. I am interested in SSTV,IU-View,Satallite,and phone on VHF,UHF,HF. As from the 21/09/02 my new callsign will be 2E0TWS, this will alow me to work on the HF,VHF,UHF,and Microwave sections. When Portable carry a VX5 HT, 2/70cm HT for local working, also best of far Eastern Radios HT LINTON UHF. At the home QTH I use the Yeasu FT817, working all HF, SSTV, PSK31, 1/2 Size G5RV, fed with RG58 Coax. I use a 50 Watt Linear but most of the time running at 10 Watts "QRPish". At the home QTH, FT-847 for dedicated Satallite working, Antenna Diamond Tri band 2000, in line 2/70cms Duplexer, Work Oscar 7. Work 4 Meters using an Philips FM 1000 set, Antenna Vertical running about 9 watts, monitor the calling frequency. The HF is the Yaesu FT-1000MP,antenna 132 feet of wire in a u shape end fed, at the ground via 30 feet of RG58 Coax used for 160 Meters. For the 80 meter band nearly 1/2 wave using end fed wire length of 66 feet and a loading coil which gives the added 120 feet of electrical length on the physical wire of 66 feet, total 168 feet I must say the end fed wires or a last resort as the room at the QTH is limited to 17 feet by 10 feet back yard so miracles have to happen or you just have to be happy with what I work.
At Home with the rest of the equipment I use the FT8900 for 2/70cms/6mtrs, linked to a PK-12 and Lap Top for the UI View 32 on RF usining a Tri Band Mobile Antenna. Please dont send QSL Cards, via Bureu as I havent facilities to reply. You Can also call me on IRLP 5852 or Echolink 113117 Set up with the help of my very good friend Steve M1ERS.
