Hi, my name is Simon and live in Kilwinning in ayrshire SW scotland. Have a healthy interest in anything electrical or mechanical which drives the xyl insane lol . Have numerous 11 mtr sets in various conditions and am just starting on an Eddystone 659 after shelving it for many years due to one thing and another. Although my background is electrical, electrical and electronic apprenticeship with the MOD, I know far more about mechanics and hydraulics than I do about electronics. Other projects I have ongoing are my vintage tractor, K5 Chevy Blazer build (not really progressed that one for the last 7 or 8 years lol), some vintage generators and stationary engines. Also race back to basics bangers and van bangers when i get a chance and am looking forward to the world final at Barford in a few weeks. I'm also loving the resurgence in CB and 11 meters and have been getting some quite spectacular results on ground wave. Cant wait till I get the lattice tower trailer restored.......sometime in the next few years . Currently working as a field engineer for an access equipment company although I seem to spend more time just now driving a truck as drivers are hard to get nowadays so having an hgv license can be a bit of a curse .
