Iam located in the eastern suburbs of Auckland, on the North Island of New Zealand.

I run an Apple MacBook Pro that runs Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) and for digimodes I run HRD + DM780 through a virtualised Windows environment. Runs really well and I am privileged to be able to run both Mac OS X and Windows 7 from a single machine. I use the brilliant Aether logbook for Mac.
In terms of my HF work, you will often find me operating on CW (Favourite mode) & Digimodes (Mainly PSK31, RTTY & ROS) and every now and again you will hear me on SSB.
I welcome communication and QSL cards from any SWL's out there too, so drop me an email or card and I will respond.
I QSL via LOTW, bureau or direct , so please feel free to QSL me.
I have developed the www.ft-2000.com website for users of the FT-2000 to exchange information on Mic EQ, Processing, AGC, bugs etc. please check it out!!

Here is a photo of the beautiful Kenwood TS-830s that I restored fully and really enjoyed using while it was in my possession. I will get another some day.
And my 3 Ele Yagi pointing to EU on a beautiful spring morning.
