I first obtained an amateur radio licence in October 2010, after attending a Foundation training course run by the Chelmsford Amateur Radio Society in Danbury, Essex. Station callsign at the time was M6PSI. I obtained my Intermediate licence in June 2011 (2E0PSL), and then my Full licence in December 2011.
I’m a member of several local clubs, help out with amateur radio training and run a local net. I’m often found monitoring GB3DA , the Danbury repeater, or working data modes such as FT8. I’m porbably best known as the founder of the online community ‘ Essex Ham ‘
For those unfamiliar with Amateur Radio, the licence allows me to talk to other licensed hams around the world on frequencies reserved for non-commercial communications and experimentation. To become an amateur radio operator, you need to complete a short training course and take a multiple-choice exam. You then get an Ofcom licence and a callsign. More
