Show Notes
Andy Cook, G4PIQ, got his start in amateur radio contesting with competitive weak signal VHF. In an operating category where a single dB can make or break success, Andy honed his skills in station design. He took those skills into HF when his friend, and operating buddy, Bob Carpenter G4BAH (SK), decided that the M6T contest station needed to be a reality. It’s no surprise that WRTC 2026 Chariman, Mark Haynes M0DXR, called upon Andy to be the Director of Sites and Stations for the first World Radiosport Team Championship to be hosted by England. In this interview, Andy talks about his formative years in ham radio and the specific, yet evolving, plans for WRTC 2026.
