Amateur Radio - Exams Passed I have been fascinated with radio since I was a schoolchild. I enjoyed listening to all manner of radio stations from the BBC, local radio, pirate stations and also short wave broadcasts from exotic sounding stations from all over the world. I enjoyed making radios from simple crystal sets to transistorized receivers. In 2008 I finally took the plunge and studied for my amateur radio exams - I was delighted to achieve my full amateur radio licence, gaining the call sign MØMTJ. I should have done it many years earlier! You can visit my Amateur Radio pages here. Radio & Memorabilia I have been very interested in radio broadcasting and I have gradually brought together a small collection of radio related material including a brief history of radio developments and other memorabilia.  I have also added some pages about crystal sets and other simple radio related circuits. Visit the Radio Stations & Memorabilia page here.	Mercia Sound memories Mercia audio retrospective Lest we forget - R.I.P. Radio Wyvern & Beacon Radio
You can see our visit to Washford in Somerset here,  and also a collection photographs of Malta's Masts here taken during our holiday in Malta in April 2004.  We also have tribute to some favourite radio stations of yesteryear, including favourites BRMB and Mercia Sound. More Radio Goodies Additional radio goodies and memorabilia are gathered in the AIRWAVES section in the form my own writings together with a selection of old documents, photographs and accounts published by radio broadcasting organisations that we hope you'll find interesting.  It is hoped that this section may gradually be expanded as time allows, but please also visit my section "UK Radio - A Brief History", located in the Radio Stations and Memorabilia section which details the history of radio from 1920 and includes a section covering Pirate Radio in the UK. Apart from radio, there are other subjects here too including the afore mentioned cats and dogs for we animal lovers, a page of sundials which I find fascinating and a section of 'Other Stuff' including a page of some funny pictures and jokes.

Competition Question: How did this website get its name?

Answer:  The answer is contained somewhere within this site.  So go on, have a look around!

[Spell checker broken - dictionary lost - brains all mush! In fact someone called me and asked "Where's your grammar? I replied "She's in the kitchen making a pot of tea".]

Thanks for popping in.  Tell your friends and please do come back again soon.
