| Introduction | Born in Dargaville New Zealand in 1946 my family soon moved to Auckland where I grew up,I have an older sister Raewyn and a younger brother Murray, in 1988 we Moved to Perth, Western Australia and I was employed in the role of Field Service Technician installing and servicing office equipment. I am married with 2 grown up sons and enjoy a comfortable lifestyle in sunny Perth. I have had an interest in radio for as long as I can recall and started as so many others by building a crystal set and then a 1 valve regenerative receiver with which I could receive the 'Hams' on 80 metres and so it went.My interest now is mainly DX and I currently have some 200 countries confirmed. I am a member of the Northern Corridor Radio Group (Perth)and am active in contesting and various club activities.My home station is rather modest as council restrictions limit the erection of antennas and I have only a trap vertical, a crank up 2 element triband yagi and an ICOM IC7800. Other interests include woodwork and home renovation. Over the years my wife and I have owned 6 homes, 3 in New Zealand and 3 in Perth and I think we have both had an interest in home renovation for many years. |
