I got my licence in June 1976 in Johannesburg, and began life as ZR6HV. 18 months later in Dec 1977 I passed my
12 wpm CW exam and upgraded to ZS6HV. From the start my main interest lay in construction and QRP.
Over the years I have built up a useful electronics/RF lab from which many successful projects have emerged.
In Nov 1998 we moved to Cape Town and I changed to ZS1GPL and then in May 2007 I upgraded my call sign and 'lost my Pee' to ZS1GL.

I have managed to acquire and build some useful pieces of test equipment and am able to test/measure most HF related things in my workshop.
Some items date back to WW2 and are still in everyday use.
A most useful recent project has been several PIC based frequency counter modules with programmable IF offsets,
suitable for frequency displays for old rigs or signal generators, and I have upgraded many items with these.
