VK2FC Amateur Radio

My name is Glen Millen

and I live in Horseshoe

Bend, a suburb of

Maitland, New South

Wales, Australia.

Electronics and especially

radio has always been of

interest to me. Like

many, I started this

hobby when I was a

young boy with a crystal

set radio receiver

listening on the broadcast

band. Later by

experimenting on various

HF frequencies and for a

short while on the 11

meter CB band. In the early 70’s I started studying for my Ham Radio licence. I passed the

then 'limited' licence examination at the local Radio Inspector's Office in 1973 and received my

first callsign "VK2YAU" a few weeks later. Many years on, in 1993, I completed the morse code

exam at 10 WPM and received my unrestricted licence and the callsign "VK2GME". Currently, I

hold the call signs VK2FC and VK2ZDE. I’ve always had on & off periods with my radio hobby,

but once you have the radio “bug” it never ever seems to go away completely. I really get a

kick out of home built radio and electronic projects, and for me this is an essential part of my

interest in this hobby besides getting on-air and having a QSO. I hope you find something of

interest in these pages. If you have a question or comments feel free to contact me via the
