Hello and thanks for coming to my website! My name is Nige, I am 40 years of age and a keen Amateur Radio  operator (Radio-Ham). I have been a FULL licence holder since 1985 and passed the City & Guilds' Radio Amateurs' Examination aged 15.

I operate principally on 4m and 6m which are my favourite bands. My station has traditionally been heavily biased towards Meteor Scatter  but I always welcome other propagation modes and bands as and when they arise or the mood takes me. I am also increasingly diversifying back into the lower (shortwave) bands again.

Of all the hobbies, why Amateur Radio?? Look into the menus to find out!

An excerpt of notable contacts can be found below.

WSJT / JT6m...

Due to the plethora of questions which I kept receiving, I produced a series of short videos aimed at providing a basic understanding of the mode JT6m which is one of the digital modes from the suite called WSJT. Another mode from the suite; JT65, is now also becoming very popular among HF'ers. The videos address many issues from setting up and connection to operating practices.
