Thank you for visiting my QRZ site. I have been licensed since 2006 but have been involved in Radio Communications since I was 13 years old (1991). I was first licensed as VK4FREQ then 3 months later upgraded my license and changed my call to VK4HMU. In August 2007 I changed my callsign to VK4HAM and on March 18th 2011 upgraded my license once again and received the callsign VK4NM.
The main focus of my hobby is contesting and I enjoy entering a few of the major contests throughout the year. I prefer entering multi operator contests as I believe it is more enjoyable. I do this from various locations around VK4. Below is a list of the contests I enter and where I will usually be operating from. All Multi contests are done with my good friend Peter VK4LAT.
