| Introduction | My name is Stephen but most of my friends call me Steve, my call sign is GW7AAV and I am married to Helen GW7AAU. When I am not working or talking around the bands you can usually find me monitoring 145.500 and GB3CR on 433.150 mobile while at home I monitor up to ten bands/modes most of the time .I have an NOV for 5mHz and monitor 5.3985 for SOTA during the day and 5.4035 in the evenings for DX. The other usual frequencies I listen on are 3.666 LSB, 7.118 LSB, 14.285 USB, 70.450 FM, 144.300 USB, 433.500 FM and 1296.500 FM. I have facility for all the amateur bands from 80m to 23cms. Helen and I are members of Flintshire RAYNET that is part of the UK national voluntary emergency communications service RAYNET and take part in providing communications for charity and sporting events as part of our self-training for disaster recovery operations. I am a keen SOTA (Summits On The Air) chaser, and sometimes I activate as well with my XYL Helen GW7AAU or one of the many friends I have made on the air. The great thing about SOTA is that it gets radio amateurs out of the comfort of the shack and into their hiking boots. Get fit and play radio at the same time! |
