Hello and thank you for looking at my page. My name is Paul and I live in Barrow in Furness, Cumbria, which is a shipbuilding town on the southern fringe of the english lake district. I have been an amateur since October 12th 2008. I passed my foundation exam at the tender age of 51, having spent many, many years as a shortwave listener. My passion for radio started at an early age and I was influenced by my Father's love of radio. He was a wireless opererator/air gunner in the RAF and we would spend many hours listening to his huge, valve set.

Equipment in the shack are a Kenwood TS-570DGE powered by a Kenwood PS-33 with a Kenwood SP-31 speaker. ( I love Kenwood gear!!! ). I use a Comet vertical antenna which on the whole does very well on most bands. 2m rig is a Kenwood TM-221E to a discone antenna.

Hope to meet you sometime on the bands and QSL is 100% either direct, via the bureau or by Eqsl. Reports by shortwave listeners are particularly welcome.
