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.

Amateur Radio Foundation Course and WINGS Museum
Chris Howard (M0TCH) and I are halfway
through teaching an Amateur Radio Foundation Course. It’s a shame we only have
one student due to others not being able to make the course at the last moment.
However, our student is very interested in the hobby and thankfully asking lots
of questions.
Edmund (M0MNG) sent me a link to
this video he came across. It was recorded at the WINGS Museum in Sussex and
shows the radios on display. While it was being recorded, I was in QSO with the
Museum on 4 metres FM and can be heard in the background.
