Because of ham radio like many others I became an electronic engineer, working for KW Electronics (designing ham radio equipment), International Marine Radio Co, Sinclair Reasearch, FKI plc then emigrated to New Zealand where I started Holliday Electronics, later became Holliday Group Ltd and sold to iTouch plc in 2000. I am now an angel investor and VC in New Zealand. First licenced in 1965 as G3UVZ, became ZL3PAH in 1990 when I emigrated. Apart from Amateur Radio which has always played a large part in my life I play piano and other instruments badly, cook curries with panache and collect machin stamps from the UK.

Happily married for a second time, live just over from the beach and am not looking forward to retiring any time soon.

Run Elecraft rigs K2 & K3 and am an enthusiastic supporter of Elecraft and all that company stands for.  Just got an Expert 1K-FA linear and it makes a difference!

Enjoy contesting & ragchewing on digital modes and cw altho am very rusty and just getting back into it. Just started collecting for IOTA.

I love QSLs!  I QSL 100% via bureau, direct if you include one IRC and will answer E-QSLs but do not like them. All qsos uploaded to LotW.
