Here’s a picture of Mary and me taken this year in Malta. We were enjoying magnificent scenery, good food and great hospitality. I hold the Maltese callsign 9H3DVABOUT THE OWNER
I’m PETER LONGHURST first licensed as G8BVI in September 1968, became G3ZVI in 1970 (G8BVI is now held by my son Philip - actually GW8BVI, as he’s just over the border.)
I’ve been interested in the mighty electron all my life (well, since the age of 5, I’m told, when I joined up my first battery and bulb). Married for over 44 years to the lovely long-suffering Mary (who many of you will have met at rallies), and two children Philip (see above) and Claire (who does a lot of my technical copywriting and illustrations).

Early years spent mending tellys and varied home construction projects, eventually getting involved in mobile radio in 1962.
Due to quirk of fate, I was actually an Industrial Chemist for several years, for some time working with Alan G3XZX, with whom I took the RAE, and I’m forever grateful to Alan for Morse tuition.
Took on the mantle of "Mr Garex" in the early ‘70’s. Well, the 70’s and 80’s were exciting times to be in business, but let’s forget the 90’s shall we?
Garex is now back in my personal ownership, the company is revitalised and I look forward to being of service to you.
