Hi, my name is Martin Butler. I am in my early seventies, a family man with a lovely wife, three children (Colin is the eldest) and four grandchildren.
I am a member of the Radio Society of Great Britain and the GQRP Club. My latest venture is working with Colin on ICQPODCAST which I am enjoying greatly.
