Amateur Radio Station M0BLF
This section of my site is essentially intended for other radio amateurs but if you are looking for an introduction to the hobby, you might start at what is amateur radio?, which also contains some off-air audio clips.
Biography
Name: Dominic Smith
Callsign: M0BLF
Age: 27
Profession: Student
Home QTH: Yelverton, England [Maidenhead Locator: IO70wl] (though I often operate from various other locations)

I am the website designer of rsgbiota.org, the official website of the Islands On The Air award scheme. In contests, I normally operate from G6UW/M4A at the Cambridge University Wireless Society and I am QSL Manager for many CUWS DXpeditions.
My station equipment currently includes an IC-706Mk2G, FT-757GX2 and an FT-2500M. My main HF antenna is a Hustler 5-BTV and I also have a range of other antennas, principally for portable operation.
More information can be found in my introduction video on YouTube.
