Steve was first licensed as G8FEO in 1970 while still at school in England. He has been lucky enough to live and work in Iran, Sweden and Papua New Guinea over the years, from where he was active as EP2SL, G4JVG/SM0 (and OH0/G4JVG), and P29DX / P20A.
Before retiring to Sabah in 2005, Steve worked as editor of the RSGB’s RadCom magazine. He was a founder member of the Five Star DXers Association (FSDXA) and a member of the 1998 9M0C Spratly Islands, 2001 D68C Comoros and 2007 3B7C St Brandon DXpedition teams. He was joint editor with G3NUG of the book DXpeditioning Behind the Scenes.
Steve is now licensed as 9M6DXX and has operated from Sabah’s Coastal Islands, OC-133, on a number of occasions. In March – April 2010 he was a member of the Southern Line Islands DXpedition team that activated four ‘new ones’ for IOTA: T32MI (OC-279), T32SI (OC-280), T32CI (OC-281) and T32VI (OC-282). He was a member of the only two DXpeditions to have activated Sebatik Island, OC-295, in 2006 and 2010.
In addition to Sabah, he currently holds licences in Sarawak (9M8Z), Thailand (HS0ZHX), and USA (KH0UN), as well as the UK (G4JVG). In all, he has operated from 39 DXCC entities and the same number of IOTA island groups. Steve is a member of the RSGB, BARC (Borneo Amateur Radio Club) and CDXC (Chiltern DX Club). Although officially retired he is still doing some free-lance work for the RSGB, including production of the 2007 and 2009 RSGB IOTA Directory. He compiled and is editor of the World Licensing and Operating Directory. (follow the link and scroll down the page a short way)
