A 10-12 man team, led by Nobby G0VJG, will be active from Botswana as A25UK during early Spring 2017 (dates to be finalised).
They will be QRV with five QRO stations; 160-10m CW/SSB/RTTY for up to 10-11 days. Antennas include verticals for 80/160 and 4 square for 40m. Beams and towers will also be in use.
This will be a return visit for the same Team after their successful operation in 2016. This time ‘bigger & longer’.
QSL via M0OXO OQRS or Direct Post Mail.
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.
