About Nigel:
Nigel started short wave listening as a teenager in the mid-1960s. However, amateur radio took a break while studying at college and then starting to earn a living.

Interest was revived in 1978 when he passed the UK Radio Amateurs' Examination and took out a Class B (VHF-only) licence, G8OPT. His Full Class A callsign, G4KIU, followed in 1980.

In 1988, Nigel was one of the organisers of a DXpedition to Ireland which attempted to work North America on 2m.

Starting a family and running his own business caused amateur radio to take a back seat again for a few years until early 1999.

SSB DX and contesting on HF and VHF is the main interest and he is now a member of the very successful Windmill Contest Group.

Nigel specialises in SSB on 10 to 40m and takes part in various contests.

He runs his own business as a web site editor and designer. Nigel designed and edits this site for the 3B9 DXpedition and did the same for the D68C Comoros and K8O/K8T American Samoa sites. Nigel is currently studying to become a homeopath.

His wife Corrinne is G1VTN and the family is completed by teenage daughter, Imogen.
