About Me

I live in Launceston Tasmania, a city of around 68,000 people. I have always had a passion for radio and anything technical. Over the years I have moved between a few different areas of the radio hobby:

UHF CB

Amateur Radio (Ex VK7FPGB) currently VK7AAL

Radio Scanning

Ultralight DXing

Shortwave Listening

I am a licensed amateur radio operator, with the callsign of VK7AAL and this is now my main focus area in the radio hobby. I am often monitoring our local VHF and UHF repeaters (VK7RAA and VK7RJG), plus some simplex frequencies and am always keen for a chat.

I am now working on developing a custom database program to log my amateur radio contacts. This is coded in Python.
