About me.
I was first licenced in 1961 and went on ait with an SCR522 WW2 aircraft transmitter, a super-regen receiver and a folded dipole.
Yes that very serious bloke is me, trying to take a photo of my operation on the summit of Mt Buller in Decenber 2004. The camera operated before I smiled! Equipment: a backpack station including an IC706 MkIIG and a MFJ 2m/70cm 4 element beam. Power was from 12 V gelcel. Operation was primarily aircraft enhancement on 2 m and 70 cm into Sydney and Canberra.

I have used my own photographs, technical flaws and all, rather than use the off the shelf perfect ones. I hope you find some interesting. I will add to them over time.
