Stop Press:  In April  2013, due to serious illness of Ann my XYL,  we returned to Lincolnshire  (near to our daugthers and family) for an indefinite period. I am generally now head cook and bottle w asher and radio time is somewhat restricted, but I will be qrv  from G3SCD whenever the opportunity arises. My lovely K3 line gear is still in VK and I have my Icom 746 and my TS 50  as mobile in operation in G.

Mail can be sent to me via Email (preferred) or Snail Mail.

QSL's - Please do not send them unless I ask or unless you really want one from me. I will always reply to your request for a card, but now storage is becoming a problem and I want enjoy my Ham radio not spend time making and writing cards! But they are all individual with different designs so a little different from most.
