Who am I?
My name is Kev Piper, located in Bognor Regis - IO90PS. I was first licenced in 1979 as G8TGM and was active on 2M. In 1985 I passed the 12 wpm cw test and became G0CHE. As part on my interest in 2M E's propagation, I regularly monitored Band 1 TV channels around 50MHz and my interest in 6M began. Unfortunately I went qrt in 1987 just as 6M became available in the UK.
After a 15 year break I became qrv again in June 2002 and my radio adventure started on 6M. Since then I have been qrv on bands 40M to 70cm. In March 2005 I started on 4M.
My interest in radio and Amateur Radio began at the age of 13 using various radios including an ex-Army No.19 set which I modified and used to swl on 160M, 80M and 40M with simple long wire antenna. Later I built transistor superhet and double superhet receivers and listened to all Amateur bands up to and including 10M with simple long wire antennas.
Where am I?
My qth is located in the seaside resort of Bognor Regis in West Sussex (IO90PS). It is a literal stones throw from the English Channel (at high tide) ! My take-off to the south is excellent but other qtf's ..... hmmm!
