About Me

Hi, and thanks for stopping by. I'm George, and I'm a 24 year old university graduate, with a second class upper division (2:1) undergraduate masters degree (with honours) in Electronic & Electrical Engineering (MEng). I am currently studying for a Ph.D in Electronic & Electrical Engineering, working in the research field of wireless sensor networks - I develop MAC layers and algorithms for network coordination & decentralisation. I also look at energy neutrality in wireless systems.

I was first licensed as 2E1ZZZ in June 2002, when I was aged 13. In June 2003, aged 14, I passed my full licence exam and finally became M1GEO. I held M3PKT for a short while as well as M1GEO, to allow HF use on what was a class B licence.

More about me here.

Interests in Radio

My main interests are in digital modes and VHF/UHF SSB. I run an APRS IGate (M1GEO) as well as having an APRS node setup in my car (M1GEO-7). I run an EchoLink node (M1GEO-L) on UHF. I also have an interest in WSPR and am active on there as and when time permits. I like designing and building electronic things; radio related or otherwise.

I am most often found on the UKAC contests on Tuesday evenings operationg G3XBF/P, or on 40m.
