Hi Im Ian and I'm a radio ham, living in the SW of England.
My interest in radio has extended for over 40 years, finally taking my Radio Amateur Exams, in 1982, when I was one of the first in the UK to be awarded the then new "G6" prefix callsign.
I originally joined RAYNET in 1975, becoming the group controller in 1985. From 1989 to 1990 I did a short stint as the RAYNET Zone 7 coordinator, but an accident resulting in a broken back forced me to give that up and I eventually returned to the group in 1991, when I was asked to resume as group controller again. Since then they have been stuck with me!
I have also been asked to take on the role of one of the two Assistant Zone 7 (SW England) Co-ordinators, with specific responsibility for the South of the Zone. (Covering Devon, Cornwall, Dorset and the Isles of Scilly and the Channel Islands.)
These days I can often be seen and heard pottering about the West Devon area on my trusty steed, "Thunderbird 1" operating through the local amateur repeaters GB3WD, GB3TR, GB3CH and the new Internet linked repeater GB3IE, operating /motorcycle-mobile. If you hear me, give me a call. |

As a Radio Ham I still get a kick out of making a new contact in some far flung and remote place, so Im really looking forward to making that QSO with ET!
