Hello

I am new to amature radio having passed my foundation in July 2011 at North Cheshire Radio Club under the tuition of David G0VIE.

I am just starting to put my setup together and presently at my QTH I use a Kenwood TS-570DG for H.F and a Yaesu FT-726R for VHF & UHF. Mobile I use a Yaesu FT-817ND and my ht is a Yaesu ft-60E along with a very small Icom IC-E7. Antenna wise I use a n excellent G-Whip widebander  and a G5RV. Portable use I have a Watson PBX-100-MKII. I also use a G-Whip 20m endfed.

I passed my intermediate licence end May 2014 again under the excellent guidance of David G0VIE and my initial call sign was M6NCL.

As you may guess from my call I am originaly from Newcastle upon Tyne (Winlaton actually) But have lived in North Derbyshire since 1979.
