“Amateur Radio & RAYNET – Enhancing Communication, Supporting Emergencies, and Connecting Communities Across the Airwaves.”

Hello, thanks so much for visiting M9DXD.CO.UK, my personal tech corner of the internet.

Here’s what I’m up to:

  • I cover the exciting world of Radio Amateurs’ Emergency Network (RAYNET-UK) exercises and communications — from boots-on-the-ground setups to message passing and emergency comms in action.
  • I share guides, tutorials and friendly walkthroughs on things like amateur radio, Windows, Linux, Raspberry Pi and other tech you’ll actually find useful.
  • My aim? To keep things approachable, practical and fun — no heavy jargon, just real-world tips, experiments and tools you can try out yourself.

Whether you’re a fellow radio enthusiast, a beginner in Linux or Raspberry Pi, or someone who just loves to tinker — you’re absolutely welcome. Have a browse, dive into a post, try something new, and if you feel like it, drop a comment or a question.

Thanks for stopping by — I’m looking forward to exploring and learning together. 73 Liam M9DXD
