I have been operating radio since I was 14 years old. Seems like a lifetime ago. I love making new contacts and having a #ragchew!

@andytuk @NWFusion Thanks Andy. Truly appreciate that.

[M7APO - Lee @M7APO]

Happy new year to you all! I thought I might brave this storm and give a call out this morning. Normally, I would have been on @NWFusion to wish them all well, but unfortunately my hotspot has died. No more digital for me for a while..

[M7APO - Lee @M7APO]

Just set the #icom back up in the bus, had a lovely chat with an old friend (M0DEF) Garry who has been part of my radio journey since I was 14 years old. Now, scanning the frequencies for further signs of life. Are you about @G5DOC ?

[M7APO - Lee @M7APO]

Dinner preparations completed! Time for some chat on the North West Fusion Group (HamRadio) on Christmas day. Oh, is it too early for a red? #sorrynotsorry

@jamiemillington Mast base is in. Concrete is curing!

[M7APO - Lee @M7APO]

Having a mast base installed next week in preparation for the new home base plan. Toying with the idea of a vertical HF antenna for a change, but I will also need the 2m/70cm white stick up there so may not be room!

Time to unbox the #icom705 #hamradio

[M7APO - Lee @M7APO]

Just purchased an #icom705 with some extras. Next a mast and an alloy scaffold pole for the house. I am determined to get back into the hobby as I love to #ragchew !

[M7APO - Lee @M7APO]

@daleconnor It's a keeper! Really good little radio. 👍🏻

[M7APO - Lee @M7APO]

A quiet morning on #hamradio. Lovely walk though.

[M7APO - Lee @M7APO]

@andytuk Feel better.

[M7APO - Lee @M7APO]

About to put a call out on @NWFusion whilst avoiding the flash floods!!

[M7APO - Lee @M7APO]

Anyone on @NWFusion got recommendations? I know a lot of you manage some traveling.

[G5DOC @G5DOC]

As someone who has antennas at home but also loves to do a little QRP what @rigexpert antenna analyser do you think I should go for? Some of the fully featured units are mind-blowing but I like to travel light and tinker in the field. #HamRadio

[M7APO - Lee @M7APO]

Lovely evening...

[M7APO - Lee @M7APO]

Heading out on a walk. I will be calling on @NWFusion shortly.

[M7APO - Lee @M7APO]

Out and about dodging the storms

[M7APO - Lee @M7APO]

Kids in the park - connected by PMR, whilst I call on @NWFusion

[M7APO - Lee @M7APO]

The sun is out, the kids will all be occupied and I think some radio time is in order.
