Hi My name is Paul I currently live in the outer Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne Australia. I first became interested in Ham Radio at high school in Ireland (Terenure College) 1977-1981 under the club call sign of EI2BY and under the guidance of Fr T Brennan O Carm, I was first licensed in Ireland around 30 years ago with a Class B license EI7AFB.

After moving to Australia in 1982 I let the License lapse, and only recently got back into Ham Radio thanks to my Dad who was studying for his Foundatation License.

This rekindled my interest in radio and after re-sitting all the tests I was re-licensed in Australia on 29 August 2012.

My current setup is a G5RV Style antenna, modified with ladder line running to a remote AH4 ATU from an ICOM IC-7000.

I've made a few Europe DX contacts and hope to reach Ireland sometime. (Done 23/09/2012 EI0CL) 

Happy DXing to all.

Paul
