Introduction

Hi there, and welcome to my little space on the WWW for amateur radio. I have been away for a while and have only recently got back into things. The links on the left give some other pages about me and amateur radio.

I originally started as a short wave listener in 1978 as ARS43474 .The RSGB used to issue SWL calls for folk like me! The “A” meant that I was just a boy! It all started as a result of an interested physics teacher in school. Unfortunately, I can’t remember his callsign. That was Eastwood High School when it was a senior secondary. They had an amateur radio club in those days with a shack away up at the top of the school. There are a few of my listener reports here.

In 1980 I passed my RAE at the Glasgow Nautical College and became GM6AWE. There are one or two QSL cards here.

Morse took ages but I eventually passed the test in Ayr and became GM0IVQ in 1990. Not many QSL cards done so far! Click here to see one or two.

Location Clarkston, Glasgow, Scotland Lat, Long : 55° 47” N, 4° 17” W IARU Locator : IO75US
Contact me: gm0ivq@ntlworld.com	This is the QSL card I am using just now. It’s done in Word so should be fairly easy to change.
