I have started my Radio career when I was in the Army in 1961 but never bothered to get a licence. Now I am retired and I have plenty of time and having got my licence about a year ago(2005) I like to be out in the open so most of the time I will be out portable and QRT. I would be glad to answer any QSL provided self addressed envelope and contribution is forwarded. Being a pensioner is rather stretching so I do appretiate it if you can do so.73's from my side and hope to make contact with lots and lots of you from all over. PLEASE ICANNOT USE E QSL.thank youAlfred.
