I have been using radio since 1980, through AM CB radio, FM CB Radio and Amateur Radio (Ham Radio). I am an Advanced Licence amateur radio operator with a passion for radio communications and electronics.

As well as holding Foundation, Intermediate and Advanced ham radio licences I am also a Radio Society Of Great Britain (RSGB) Registered Assessor.

I first got in to radio when I built a radio receiver in after school classes in 1977.  Because I wanted to give children of today the same thrill I got from building my own radio, I am developing a radio course for schools. This is to not only teach children about radio, but also about electronics and communications. This course will be delivered in schools, with the students building their own radio from scratch. Hopefully for some this will lead to developing their skills further, and gaining their amateur radio licence.
