Q: What is MW0LLO.COM?
A: a non-commercial website created by Chris, callsign MW0LLO, an amateur radio enthusiast based in the city of Newport, South Wales, UK.
Electronics has interested me since my childhood, ever since my grandparents bought me one of the Tandy "30-in-one" electronics kits. Lots of the simple circuits with LEDs, resistors, transistors and simple logic gates were easy even for a child to get to grips with, but radio seemed a bit more mysterious and difficult to understand.
Later in life, I've decided to continue learning more about electronics, radio, and communication by becoming a radio amateur. With the knowledge I had of electronics and with the help of local amateur club members, I've got through the exams necessary for my current licence and callsign. My initial fears of meeting new people within the hobby were unfounded, as I have found amateur radio enthusiasts friendly and approachable. I would encourage anyone with even a small interest to attend their local club. There's nothing to lose! Hopefully I can find a way to return the favours to all those that have helped.
I probably won't do the hobby justice as a promoter, so if you want to know more about amateur radio in the UK, visit the Radio Society of Great Britain (RSGB) website (links to http://www.rsgb.org/). Other links are available on my links (links to http://www.mw0llo.com/links.aspx) page.
