About me
I live in Australia since 1997, when I was licensed as VK4EXA. This call soon changed to VK4NM, and then to VK4DX in May 2000. Prior to Australia I was active from then-YU land from several club stations and with my own call signs 4N4EX and T94CQ. I also lived in Germany in mid-nineties and was active as DL4FMA.
My main interests in this hobby are DXing and contesting. I had several good contest scores on single bands, including a few world #1s in CQWW and WPX contests, but due to family and work commitments I haven’t been able to seriously participate in any contest in the past few years.
My current QTH in Forest Lake is not very radio friendly so DXing is fairly restricted. Even though I have a multiband vertical and an open-wire-fed 30m delta-loop antenna which can be tuned on other bands, it’s rather difficult to work much from here as the local noise is always high. Since moving to the new house things look better, but the antenna space is still very limited.
Every now and then I pack my gear and drive either to one of the hills around Brisbane, or over to the bay area near the salt water and have a few hours of fun on the radio.
My other hobbies are photography (Mike’s Photo Blog) and Mac computers (SilverMac), and if we share common interests please feel free to visit my other web sites.
73 and see you on air.
