Hi, My name is Dave Hamilton
In 2021 I decided that I would follow up on my interest in radio with an Amateur radio qualification. I have marine radio experience both on HF and VHF and am an experienced sailor.
I completed a Foundation course with my local radio club, Newbury and District Radio Society ( Https://Nadars.org.uk/) and passed the online Foundation exam in March 2021. Call sign M7BRS.
I then booked the Intermediate exam with the RSGB and managed to pass that exam towards the end of March 2021. My new call sign was 2E0GZW
It took a little while longer to get through the full exam and I passed that in April 2021 and was allocated the call sign M0JOW
This site will document some of the things I have found useful in Amateur Radio.
I hope you find some of it useful.
I currently run ( as of 23/03/2025) :
Wires-X gateway
Due to the new (2024 ) licensing conditions , this gateway call sign is now MB6EA, node name MB6EA-GW (77555), with room id of MB6EA-ROOM (87555). It will have a slightly increased power setting of 5W ERP and will be available possibly 24×7 after I have tested the new FTM-100 radio
