I have been licenced since 1987. in January 2009, with lots of help from Matt G4RKY I started running MB7IDQ a 2 metre  (freq 145.2375 with 67hz tone accesss) system running IRLP (5612) Echolink (418341) and Asterisk (2259) from my home at Killigarth just above the fishing village of Polperro where we are 400ft ASL. I use a Yaesu FT-897 at home and the mobile radio is an Icom IC2725. We are also QRV on 4mtrs FM. My wife Denise is also licensed as 2E0PDQ.
