Hi my name is Simon, 2W0SAK formally MW3OYC. My qth is in Bleanau Ffestiniog, which is in the north west part of wales just east of a town called Porthmadog. I have lived hear for 3 years and just before that i lived in a tiny village not far from here called Llanfair. I am not a true Welshman, as i am from the city of Nottingham in the midlands and very proud of it too ( Yes i do support Nottingham Forest Football Club). I have three children, Gethin-Ryan-Theodore, we are all looked after by my great partner Elizabeth. I am at the moment chairman of the Meirion Amateur Radio Society, love the challange, organizing all the events we hold through the year, and of course being part of the local radio community. Please visit our club site for more pics and info .... www.meirionars.multiply.com I am also an active member of the Porthmadog and District Amateur Radio Society, which meets every third Thursday of the month. Also one of the net controllers of the local 2 meter sked held every Tuesday at 2000 hours on GB3DW repeater.

2w0sak Set up This is a picture of my current set up, Nothing to special, but works really well, get great results. My main interest is digimode operating, in particular PSK. The antenna's are fairly simple, i only have a small area to work with. For HF i use an SRC X65 in an inverted configuration and for two meters i use an SRC Model X:2. My main shack is outside in the workshop wich was built in spring 2008 by myself and a pal Mikey (MW3UKK), warm in the summer Not to warm in the winter( actually freezing). Looking forward for the solar cycle to start picking up, so that the big guns of the world dont get all the best contacts. In April 2009 I am attempting my advanced exam currently being tutered by my mentor and good friend Bob (GW0AYQ), so getting my head stuck in the text books, Cant wait to go back to an MW callsign, and get rid of this very confusing 2W.
