ABOUT ME
Hey there my names Ashley but people call me Ash, I'm originally from Halifax, West Yorkshire I relocated to Manchester when I was 22. I now live in Dukinfield, Tameside with my lovely partner Dionne (who is currently studying for her Foundation Amateur Radio Licence).
I started using radio when I was 13 all I had back then was a Motorola T5522 PMR446 handy, I then bought a set of Binatone Action 850 handhelds same again using PMR446 and eventually I bought a set of Binatone Marina 900 Waterproof Handhelds which was a lot more harder wearing.
Now I'm finally a licenced amateur radio operator I've now got access to more bands with more power, I now use a Golden One 1907 70cm working with a x30 collinear antenna. When I'm mobile I use a Motorola DP3600 DMR Handheld, using the Short stubby and the longer whip antenna. More about my equipment is on my "Radios" page.
I now have a new addition to the hobby, I now use DSTAR using a Icom ID51E Plus 2.
