"Having fun on the air and in the workshop - communicating and creating"

Longwave station
This is the operating position for the 136KHz longwave transmitter. The VLF SWR meter sits on the transmitter case, and the 25V 20A power supply is behind.
I am English, 1953 model; received my education at grammar school and London university. Professionally I was employed in the telecommunications sector by a large British company. I left the UK in 1993 to live in Poland. I then became self-employed as a freelance consultant working globally in the mobile phone network industry. My life-long enthusiasm for electronics and radio-communications began during my childhood and led to my hobbies of amateur radio and electronics. I obtained my first amateur radio license in 1971, and am 'on the air' regularly, using frequency bands from 136KHz to 432MHz. I enjoy equally operating my radio station and the technical and practical side of designing and building my own equipment. If there is still time, I like to capture images of the earth from orbiting weather satellites. Let me share my wonderful hobbies with you.
Welcome to my blog !
