I've always been interested in radio in one way or another - in the 90's I had a CB radio. These days I'm a licensed HAM radio operator and run a small low-powered station. I'm mainly interested in mobile operation, signal propagation and data modes such as FT8.
For many years I've been a big fan of karaoke! However, in 2022 I started taking singing much more seriously and since then have enjoyed regular lessons. I'm much better than when I started but still have lots of room to improve and learn. I'm naturally a tenor but occasionally can creep up into countertenor range thanks to 80s power ballads!
I've always been a keen photographer, was even fortunate enough to do it semi-professionally for a number of years. Unsurprisingly studio portraiture was always my favourite genre to shoot as it meant getting to work with people and bring the best out in them. I had a lot of fun with it and really learned a lot about giving instructions.
