About Me

Hi. My name is Andy Hipkiss and on the last check I'm 33 years old. I've been an electronic engineer for the past 12 years being involved in both manufacturing and industrial electronic repairs.

I've been interested in radio since I was a small boy. My parents and extended family were heavily involved in the CB radio explosion of the early 80's, by my teenage years I was a regular user myself and owned such classics as a Uniden 200, Hygain V and Murphy homebase! (Sorry it was all my pocket-money and paper round could afford).

Life caught up with me for a while and I drifted away from radio. I got a career, girlfriend who became my wife, kids and a mortgage. July 2007 saw me start a new job and one of my colleagues was a licensed HAM. This re-kindled my interest and on the 18th of June 2008 I passed my foundation licence. I then passed my intermediate licence on the 30 October 2008. I plan to do my full licence at some point in 2009.

If you want to contact me for any reason my email address is:
