MØTTB / M6BBC Amateur Radio Station
Hertfordshire, England. Locator: IO91TQ W.A.B. TQ19
Recently rediscovered amateur radio after many years away and enjoying every minute of it. Formerly an avid SWL in the 80's & early 90's, and fortunately I have kept my old SWL logs, so I take huge pleasure in working stations that I have listened to all those years ago.
I passed the simple foundation level in late May 2008, which resulted in my M6BBC callsign. I passed the Intermediate in late October 2008, culminating in passing the final test that took place on the 8th of December 2008. So I now have a full amateur radio callsign M0TTB
None of the above were particularly taxing, hence I'm kicking myself for not doing this years ago.
I have a keen interest in the intricacies of radio propagation, of which I am constantly learning more.
On HF, I'm active from 20m up to 10m, and just about active on 6m but with an inefficient antenna. I now use an Icom IC-7700 into a G3TPW Cobwebb Antenna. On VHF/UHF I use either a Kenwood TS2000 or an old Kenwood TS711E, and can be heard on 2fm simplex and ssb if there's anything happening there, once in a while I may pop up on a rural 2m or 70cm repeater.
QSL Info:
Direct is best, via QRZ.
No need to send $$ but a Self addressed envelope is appreciated.
Via Bureau is OK for MØTTB & M6BBC.
Eqsl: I do have an account and will confirm anything sent but EQSL is absolutely no substitute for the real thing. Print quality is useless from the tiny images on EQSL
