Where the world comes in.
A wire antenna, a good receiver and a patient ear — that is all it takes to reach the far corners of the planet. Here is the station I have chased contacts and run relief nets from.
A legendary HF workhorse — the heart of the station.
An all-band 2-element beam that tunes itself to each frequency.
Voice, Morse code, digital modes, and EchoLink for internet-linked contacts.
The 20, 15 and 17-metre bands (MHz) — where the world answers.
More than 300 countries — and still counting.
Over the years I have worked more than 300 countries and spoken to every corner of the world. Morse code (CW) remains my favourite — I still operate CW on 14 MHz, and I teach it to every new ham who will learn. There is nothing quite like pulling a faint signal out of the noise and realising it is coming from the other side of the planet.
Heard me on the air? Let’s confirm the contact.
If we make a QSO, I’m glad to exchange QSL cards. You’ll find my log and QSL details on QRZ.
