About Me

Pete M0PSX Photo

I first obtained an amateur radio licence in October 2010, after attending a Foundation training course run by the Chelmsford Amateur Radio Society in Danbury, Essex. Station callsign at the time was M6PSI. I obtained my Intermediate licence in June 2011 (2E0PSL), and then my Full licence in December 2011.

I’m a member of several local clubs, help out with amateur radio training and run a local net. I’m often found monitoring GB3DA, the Danbury repeater, or working data modes such as FT8. I’m porbably best known as the founder of the online community ‘Essex Ham‘

About Amateur Radio

For those unfamiliar with Amateur Radio, the licence allows me to talk to other licensed hams around the world on frequencies reserved for non-commercial communications and experimentation. To become an amateur radio operator, you need to complete a short training course and take a multiple-choice exam. You then get an Ofcom licence and a callsign. More
