Hi and thanks for visiting! I’m John (1977 model), from East London / Essex, UK. My Locator is: JOØ1CM. WAB: TQ58. I have been interested and fascinated by both radio and electronics from a very young age, which makes this a perfect hobby for me! I have been licensed since January 2007.
I work as an RF Engineer since 2015 at EMG Connectivity (Previously Broadcast RF), testing and building RF systems, mainly RF cameras, comms and microwave links for television outside broadcasts.
John, M0UKD on the SOTA summit of Helvellyn in the lake district.
I use an Icom IC-7600 from home on HF. Antennas are a Diamond X-50N mounted about 11 metres above ground for VHF/UHF, and a 20m long doublet fed with 300Ω feeder for HF. I also operate QRP/QRO portable with an Icom IC-7100 or Icom ID-51E (50th Anniversary Edition). I have been known to activate the odd SOTA summit! I can be found on data modes aswell as voice modes. RTTY, PSK31, Hellschrieber, JT65, WSPR etc. I enjoy building homebrew equipment and generally playing with electronic circuits.
I am a member of the Secret Nuclear Bunker Contest Group (GB0SNB). My other hobby is Photography, most of which gets posted here on Flickr. I host my own web server in London, which serves this and a few other websites, such as my photography site. Take a look at this servers current System Info.
I also have an interest in Cryptocurrency, being a tech geek. If anyone wants to buy me a coffee, beer or donate to the server costs, I have some Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and Dogecoin addresses to donate to at:
Thank you ☕🍺
I hope you find my pages interesting. Thanks for visiting! John.
