I was 1st licensed in 1961 as VK5ZBR and was very active on 6m & 2m in the 1960's early 1970's. Became active in the hobby again in 2000 with the callsign VK5ZMB and then changed this callsign to VK5UBC which I then updated to my latest callsign VK5BC.

I operate all bands from 160m to 23cm but my main interest is VHF/UHF where I'm very active on 6m & 2m. Although I do operate on all HF bands I can mainly be found on 10m, 40m or 160m.

My other interests include boating, fishing, 4WD around Australian outback and Travel.

I regularly upload to LOTW & EQSL, I will reply to direct QSL's as received, cards received via bureau will only be answered if & when time permits.

I often operate portable from our holiday home at Corny Point (PF85mc) on Southern Yorke Peninsula in South Australia. (see picture - crayfishing off Corny Point Lighthouse)
