I now work for Synectics Industrial Systems in Brigg, they manufacture Industrial CCTV systems and cameras for use in potentially explosive atmospheres - Explosion proof / Flameproof ATEX and IECEx. I passed the Radio Amateurs Exam (RAE) in the early 1970's and got my first callsign G8GBC. A year or so later, I took the 12wpm morse test and upgraded to G4CCH. HF never really did it for me, but after building my first equipment for 2m I realised there was more fun to be had in the VHF and up part of the spectrum. The early EME or Moounbounce experiments of G3LTF and G3CCH were something that I marvelled at, and in the late 1970’s I started building equipment for 23cm initially for tropo. This was also used several times in VHF NFD as part of the Scunthorpe VHF Contest Group’s multiband setup - G4CDC, G4ERG, G0JRB, G8XFY, G8FEK... |

In 1982, I started building my first 2.4m dish for EME, and with a lot of help from G3WDG, G4KGC and G8XFY I made my first EME QSO with K2UYH with 150 Watts CW. In 2000, my 5.4m dish was completed... what a massive improvement. Twelve years later I'm still having fun and giving the "big boys" a run for their money, and now with JT65 I'm making contacts that I would never have imagined were possible.
