I have been a licenced amateur since February 1982.

I am currently a member of the W.I.A., WESTAC digital communications representative, Committee Member of the West Australian Repeater Group, and the Technical Officer of the Western Australian Amateur Digital Communications Association.

I have a strong interest in all of the technical aspects of Amateur radio, which includes Voice repeaters, Digipeaters, Beacons and any other modes. Due to this I have an ongoing involvement with building and maintaining the digital and voice repeaters.

(Joe is also the current W.A. Division Amateur of the Year 1991)
