Hi to all my name is Barry Wilson and my location is a small town out of GEELONG victoria australia.I have been married for some 50 years and have been in radio for some 40 years starting out in the early days of australian cb . I worked many stations across the globe in mid1970. I was president of the local radio club for 13 years and sat for my novice in the 70s failing cw receive and missing my license back then. Radios are 2x TS140s and FT897 ,FT950 ,inverted "v"s on 40 /80 meters and 3 element beam for 10 meters and triband tet emtron 10/15/20 is my latest antenna.                                                             Later additions are my kenwood TS 940 sat and TS 130s also a Yaesu FT901 DM and YO-901 multiscope  and a Uniden 2020 / FT101 E and FT200 as my boat anchour gear.
