Welcome to my web site
I'm writing this web site to help people entering the fascinating hobby of amateur radio. I know there are heaps of books available and there's a poultice of information on the Internet. I just want to give you some practical advice in non-technical terms.
I'll try to answer some of the questions I had and help you avoid some of the pitfalls I fell into.
Best of all, my advice is free and unbiased.
I have no connection with any radio or equipment manufacturer.
I've only had my Standard Licence three weeks and I've already had contacts with:
I have an entry level radio and a piece of copper wire strung up to a tree at the end of the garden.
June 2016 - six months later and I've now had contacts in 43 countries. If you don't believe me check out the VK3PAT page on HRDLOG.
If you want to know more - read on.
