I have always had a great interest
in
'all things radio', from building crystals sets, valve radios, transistor
radios and other electronic gadgets. Great interest in CB when it came long.
Passed the Foundation and Intermediate Amateur Licence Exams in the late
nineties. My Radio Call Sign 2E1GZZ - Licence issued by Ofcom January 1999, also Marine Radio Operators Licence issued 1973.

What is Amateur Radio? It is
all about the skill and fascination of communicating
using radio. Radio amateurs use a wide variety of radio
commuication equipment to communcate with each other and
provide emergency communications with their communities.
Radio amateurs have their own satellites, can talk to
astronauts aboard the International Space Station, and
are often involved in cutting edge experimental wireless
technology. It is incredibly diverse and very popular
interest with over six million people involved
worldwide.
