One of my hobbies is amateur (ham) radio. I currently hold a UK Intermediate Amateur Radio License and operate frequently in Scotland with the callsign 2MØNZB. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I completed my foundation training in 2022 with Essex Ham and my intermediate training in 2023 with BBDL and OARC. I am hoping to obtain my full license soon, I expect this to be a little more difficult.

I’m an active member of the Paisley Amateur Radio Club and also sit on the club committee. I can occasionally be heard on air using the club callsign GMØPYM when at the club with other members.

While I have a station setup at home, I much prefer operating outdoors in a portable setting. Many of my contacts are achieved during Summit on the Air (SOTA) or Parks on the Air (POTA) activities.

Equipment

  • Yaesu FT-857D HF/VHF/UHF All Mode Transciever
  • Xiegu X6100 HF SDR Transciever
  • Yaesu FT-65, Baofeng UV5R & Quansheng UV-K5 Handheld VHF/UHF Transcievers

I have learned a lot about radio communication since I started and have made many new friends both in person and over the air.
