Northern Iceland - NOT amateur radio


The photo shows Husavik in northern Iceland some years ago when we visited Iceland. We had a great holiday. 

1990s station


This photo was a Facebook memory. I think the year is sometime in the 1990s.

Echolink - SO quiet

My Echolink now works, but I realise why I lost interest. Nobody seems to be on. I tried calling through the most promising repeaters in the UK and overseas before giving up. Nobody answered. 

Famous words - NOT amateur radio


These words are above the entrance to a church in Kingsbridge Devon. Death, the great leveller. 

8m experiment tomorrow

Today, I return home after a few days with my brother. All being well, I hope to be on 8m TX on 40.680 MHz USB dial FT8 tomorrow.
