John C6ATS will again be on the air, this time starting a few days and until March 2016.
Several IOTA’s (NA-001, NA-048, NA-054, NA-080, NA-113, NA-219) will be activated and he hopes to go to a few new island groups on this trip.
He has a desired bands and modes survey on this site: https://www.surveymonkey.com/
His setup is likely to be his TS-480HX or a K3, to vertical dipoles, operating on 20-10 running on a deep cycle battery.
QSL via M0OXO Direct Mail or OQRS.
I was born in the 1960’s and have lived all my life in the Coal Mining Town of Barnsley in South Yorkshire, Northern England. My parents were all from this area of Yorkshire and my father worked in the main Industry of the local Collieries as a face worker. I have been married to my wife Debbie for 35+ years and we have two children and two grandchildren.
I have been licensed for around 20 years after my interest was re-kindled when I retired from my role as a Police Officer within South Yorkshire Police Force. The latter few years were spent as Radio Operator in the Force Operations Control Room at Sheffield, before my career ended.
IOTA chasing is (and always has been) my real passion, as climbing the ladder to reach Honour Roll status was always my main aim. The 1000 Islands Trophy is still out of reach but I am heading in the right direction. I am currently a Board Member of IOTA Ltd and IREF.
In my free time I am a keen Photographer of Wildlife, Aviation, (anything really) but the QSL Manager role is my main passion within Ham Radio.
