Bio
My Ham Radio callsign is G1OJS and my name is Alan Robinson.
I’m now retired from 30 years working in the Space Industry after completing a PhD in Electromagnetics in 1992. I’ve been interested in electronics since I was about 8 or 9 years old (1975?) and had my ham radio license since 1985. I’ve always been interested in antennas and a lot of what I do now is about making them and testing them.
You can find quite a lot of ham radio content from me on my G1OJS pages at Instagram, and more about me on my G1OJS page at QRZ.com.
