After a delay, the QSL Cards for the recent trips from Christmas Island and the Cocos Keeling Islands are now printing at the UX5UO Print Shop.
Cards should be here and mailed in around two weeks time.
Again I apologise for the delay.
Around 8000 QSO’s were made from eacjh of the Islands during the operation in October 2017. The Team included;
Tony Burt VK3TZ, Chris Dimitrijevic VK3FY, Lee Moyle VK3GK, Peter Dernokos VK3FN, Luke Steel VK3HJ, Adrian Ciuperca KO8SCA and Cliff Tindall VK9VKL
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.
