R.I.P. MY DEAR SON JOHN
I live with my parents and our two cats in the village of Lowton in the Borough of Wigan Lowton is at the point where Wigan borders Warrington and has a Warrington (WA3) post code, which for WAB makes it good for Wigan and Greater Manchester but not for Warrington, Lancashire or Cheshire.
I was one of the earliest M3 licence holders as can be seen by the call sign M3JON, I was able to obtain, having attended the course at the Beacons Centre Frodsham and my thanks go to Dave M0OBW and to his wife Kath M1CNY for her encouragement me having been a part of the amateur radio family for many years with out taking up a licence, Kath calls me Jon,John.
My fathers life long friend Roger M0DWQ also encouraged me however I obtained my foundation licence before him !
I have been on the air since January 2002 not needing to set up a station of my own
but operating the station of my father Alan G1EFU
www.g1efu.co.nr
I also operate the club station GX1THF when it is on the air for special events such as CHOTA
I am not on the air much at the moment but I do monitor and read my fathers RADCOM
so if you work me consider me as a "Rare Station" you may even receive a certificate !!
