Peter Jones

Having taken my exams in 2023, I'm a relative newcomer to the hobby.  Since childhood I've had an interest in shortwave broadcast radio, and have wonderful memories of building crystal set radios with my late father.

My main interests are hunting rare DX on the HF bands using SSB voice, supporting people into the hobby, and getting outdoors with amateur radio. With the encouragement of other club members, I've recently started building my own equipment and experimenting with electronics. 

Before retiring in 2023 I ran a company which supported Further Education Colleges with system implementations, Government data returns, and Ofsted inspections.

Other hobbies include gardening, travelling and retro computers.

New (Free) Map Program for Amateur Radio

By
 Some of you may be familiar with the software of Simon Brown, G4ELI.  While still working full-time he was the creator of the then free Ham Radio Deluxe (HRD) suite of software which he sold a few years ago. Since then he launched the excellent SDR Console software which is a "must have" for anyone experimenting with SDR Radios.  I'm sure some of you this installed on your shack PCs. Less well known is a great little utility simply called "Simon's World Map".  The newly released V1.5.1 is available for download here  https://www.sdr-radio.com/world-map   As ever with Simon's software, it's richly featured with satellite tracking and rotator control.  The presentation is widely customisable allowing overlays such as ITU or CQ Zone, sun and moon overlays and space weather information plus greyline visualisation. Take a look as the price is right, FREE. Regards Mike, G0KAD
