About Don:
Don was first licensed in 1968 after a brief spell as a BC and MW DXer and then as an amateur SWL. His main interests have always been in the competitive side of amateur radio, especially DXing on the LF bands and contesting, although his station is capable of operation from 160 to 70cm. Don has all current DXCC entities worked and confirmed.

Don is a past editor of the RSGB’s DX News Sheet and has been a columnist for various amateur radio magazines since 1983. He currently writes the HF column for the RSGB’s magazine RadCom. Don has also served on many amateur radio committees, and is Manager of the IOTA contest.
