Welcome to my amateur radio and electronics Blog. My name is Carl and I live between Northwood and Rickmansworth on the Greater London / Hertfordshire border. This new blog was started 1st February 2026. I am in the process of transferring some of the more interesting posts from my webpage. My main radio interests are:

I am a member of the Drowned Rats Radio Group (the ‘Rats’) G3RAT and G2D. We can often be found on VHF and above contests.

I am a founding member and member of the Management Team for the United Kingdom Bunkers On The Air scheme (UKBOTA) which is part of the Worldwide Bunkers On The Air scheme (WWBOTA). I am the Worldwide coordinator of WWBOTA. 

I am a member of the following other groups and club: RSGB, WAB, G-QRP, RAFARS, RSARS and UK Six Metre Group.

I am member of my local radio club, the Radio Society of Harrow.
