Welcome to G1ANS.CO.UK
Thanks for stopping by.
I've been a Radio Amateur since the early 80's (although been interested for longer than that). I decided to take the RAE after seeing the radio station at The Science Museum (GB2SM). My interest is Data Transmission ie RTTY and Packet and all the Meteo signals around the HF bands.
What's New
Having a sort out of my ham stuff. See my "For Sale" page.
History
As keen subscriber to "Practical Wireless" and "Wireless World" I
was the original "project building fiend". I built a Top Band
transmitter, Heathkit Grid Dip meter / Valve Voltmeter, a Sweep
Oscillator and many other things. After getting a Yaesu FRG7700
and BBC Micro my interest in Data Modes was sparked. I used to visit the Sandown Park BARTG Rally but that's no more. Frequent trips to Tottenham Court Road in London resulted. Sadly Heathkit, Z & I Aero Services,
Proops, Laskys, Lindair, and Smiths have all gone. Only Henry's remains
in Edgware Road.
A visit to London was not complete without TCR,
Edgware Road and Lisle Street. These were the "Mecca" for all electronics
enthusiasts.
If it weren't for Maplin Electronics we'd be stuck now.
