My name is Richard and I have had a Ham radio license since before 1976
(G8BYI) . I have always had an interest in Radio and Space related things. Even as
a child (of 6 years) I used my clockwork model train tracks up the garden as a
aerial for listening to what I believed were Alien signals, using the old Defiant
home radio, but was actually listening to Morse from light ships off the coast, on
Medium wave and Long wave. This was the time of Spuknik 1 and later Yuri
Gagarin Cosmonaut flight.
I then gravitated over the years to ATV and other exotic communication
methods. Radio Astronomy and Optical Astronomy also have my interest, as well
as Space Travel.
I try to construct my own TV equipment, and can do some software design and
microchip design.
I have a Ex Army SCAM 12 pneumatic pump-up mast
that enables me to change antenna line up when
needed.

Jill Burrows (1954 - 2021)
She was my Rock, I miss her dearly.
Jill was a kind and caring person, who saw good in all.
She had a desperate fight with Gall Bladder cancer and was
taken from myself and our 2 sons far too soon.
