Jodrell WebSDR

First Licensed in 1970 as G8EBK while at school before knuckling down to CW acquiring G4BEE. Still following a career in IT and electronics but looking forward to the approach of retiring and gradually increasing amateur radio activity- currently having a focus on the RSGB Tuesday UKACs. HF activity is a little more sparse, needing enhancement to aerials and  maybe CW skill. Also heard as 9H3BR during trips to Malta with an FT817 and Buddipole. Outside of radio and work,  More info cn be found on Ray's website at http://www.g4bee.net. 

In 2009, a partnership with Roger, M0GMG was forged in VHF contesting  following some of the RSGB Tuesday Activity Contests, Since then a moderately good collection of equipment has been assembled.for 6M, 2M and 70cms, and reasonable success gained in the AC events and in PW 2M QRP Contest. A new 6M 6-ele Loop Fed Array (LFA) Yagi is also on the construction list for portable contest operation, designs from G0KSC

Main activity at home is 10M through 70cms, with lower bands used occasionally. In 2012, Roger, dabbled with data modes, but RFI issues remain – notably causing keyboard lock up when on 10M/15M…an inconvenience in data mode!  Aims for 2013 are to improve the home antennas with beams for 10M, 6M, 2M and 70cms and to modify the loop used on lower HF bands, to cover 80M.
