Roger Cooke joined the committee in 2002. His remit was to provide technical advice. However, he was persuaded by Dick, G3URA, to become Chairman from January 2005. Roger writes: I was first licensed in 1956. I'm old enough to qualify for a bus pass but haven't received it yet! My first venture in RTTY was in 1962 with a Creed 7B. I worked 132 countries and entered several contests in those days, operating with home brew SSB exciter and home brew linear, using FSK on the VFO. I became interested in Packet Radio in 1982 and set up the first UK BBS on HF. I now run a VHF/UHF and HF BBS and will be changing to Pactor II for HF in late 2004, all being well! My call is GB7LDI on all frequencies, but I shall soon be running a DX Cluster under the call GB7RDX as well, with access via my Node, SWAR. I also run the UK Satellite Gateway, also using GB7LDI. I'm a keen RTTY contester and use Writelog with MMTTY on a Pentium II running W98SE. I also write Data Burst for Practical Wireless and keep the BARTG flag flying that way. Roger can be contacted via
