Hello,
my name is Wesley and I run the UK018-L & SHF1ELD-L gateways in the
Sheffield & Chesterfield area. I
live in Dronfield, about a mile from the My
QTH is almost at the top of a hill, at about 650ft /200mts ASL, this is a
great spot for radio. About
me I
have always been interested in radio, ever since my father brought a 19 set
home ( ww2 radio), I was about 8 years old at the time. (just
the right age to start short wave
listening SWL) The
19 set was set up in my bedroom, I was shown how to use it and ever since
then, I have been interested in radio. We
used that radio for about 10 years. In 1974 I moved from In
1979 I moved to Dronfield and this was when I started my interest in radio
again. I bought a Citizens Band Radio and had a lot of fun with it for quite
a while. Then
in 1986 I took and passed the RAE (Radio Amateur Exam) and in 1989 passed the
Morse code test at 12 wpm (words per minute). When
I heard about PMR 446 in 1999 I was very interested. I didn’t get a 446 radio
until 2002 and was always looking on
the internet to see how people were using their sets. When on Delboy’s http://www.delboys446.co.uk/index.htm site, I found a link to (446user.co.uk) that was
in March 2003 and my Link has been on
24/7 since then. Outside
