| My QSL Details
 My interest in all things radio stretches back to when I was about 7 years of age. I used to drive my parents mad by tuning our broadcast radio, an old Marconi post-war valve set, around all the short-wave broadcast stations I could find. I was fascinated by what I heard and started to read books on radio. Then I discovered the world of ham radio and became an avid short-wave listener for many years before deciding to take the RAE, obtaining my UK Class B licence and the call GI1MGK. This was quickly followed up when, after passing the morse test, I gained my full Class A licence and my current call GI0DVU. I am eternally grateful to Pat, GI4NEZ, who helped me when I was learning the code. It was his enthusiasm which generated my interest in CW operation, which remains my favourite mode to this day. If you are a CW operator and need GI on any of the bands, I will be happy to QSO with you and guarantee to QSL 100% via LoTW. Just e-mail me to arrange a sked.
For my logging program I use Logger32 by Bob Furzer, K4CY. This is an excellent program which in addition to providing a stable logging facility, also offers superb search facilities and statistical information. Other associated logging facilities such as QSL and SWL label generation, DXCC and IOTA Awards are also available. The program is enhanced and updated at regular intervals. (See also Logger32). I now QSL only via Logbook of the World. Please note my entire log has been uploaded to the LoTW website. I update my LoTW entries every calendar month so all QSO's for January are uploaded in early February and so on throughout the year. Please note I no longer use eQSL.cc so please, no eQSL cards. However for those interested in eQSL further details may be found here whilst eQSL awards are located here. The RSGB defines a QSL card as "a form of post card that is exchanged between radio amateurs to confirm an on-air contact. These cards normally detail the band or frequency used, the time and date of the contact and other technical information. Once sent, cards are often used to confirm details for amateur radio awards, competitions etc." Contact your national Society to check how the QSL buro (if any) operates in your country.
