Hobbies of interest are: Installing and maintaining VHf & UHf repeater
sites.  Packet radio,digi-peaters, nodes and weather packet nodes.

In Pearland I have 2 packet weather nodes, on 145.07MHz, PLDWX and
PLDWXN
. These are tied to the Pete Bros Ultimeter 2000 weather collection units.
On 442.950MHz repeater I run a NOAA weather alert radio system
piggy-backed on that system. So all with UHf capabilities can hear
weather alerts when they are broadcasted by NOAA-Hou/Gal on 162.400
automatically.

Mostly weather related topics and links.  73's and Happy
Hamming.......

Prior calls: KC5PYI, KK5VZ, AC5GP.  N5VC is a vanity call that I just
couldn't pass up because it's like my first name!  I was born in San
Diego, CA 3/26/50.  I met my first ham in Junior High School and wanted
to become one.  He did CW, and I was enthralled by it.  However, it
seemed beyond me to learn that strange beeping language.  Becoming a
ham would have to wait for me.  I went to Abilene Christian University
and there met my wife, Janet.  From there I went to Baylor College of
Medicine in Houston, TX,  and then did a residency in Family Practice
at Portland, OR.  We went to Nigeria, West Africa to serve in medical
missions for 16 months, then returned to live in Abilene, TX, where we
have been for most of the time since 1980.  I now work in Abilene State
School caring for people with mental retardation.

My long interest in amateur radio surfaced again when my son was in boy
scouts. There was a radio badge which interested us.  So my wife, son,
and myself studied and passed the Tech levels.  I flunked my first code
test, but my wife passed it!  Janet is KC5PYJ and Gabriel is KD5BXT.  I
finally passed the code test, then rapidly advanced to extra.  Dream
come true.  Now I can cruise along at about 20-25 WPM in CW, and like
it so much I joined the FISTS CW Club.  We hope to keep CW alive!  It's
a lot of fun, and the people I meet on CW are real ladies and
gentlemen!

I'm a Christian, member of the Church of Christ.  Since I can't be in
medical missions now, I send out Bible correspondence courses by snail
mail and e-mail all over the world.  Between amateur radio and those
courses, I get exposure to many people in far-away lands!  It's great
fun!

I hope this finds you in good health: body, soul, and spirit.  If we
havn't had a chance to talk yet, I sure hope we can meet sometime.  If
we have had a QSO, sure hpe to CUL. 73!  Vic.

I started in the hobby in Oklahoma City in April 1982 with the callsign
KA5NVN and upgraded to Extra Class with the callsign ND5S in October
1982.  My operating consisted mainly of ragchewing.  My job took me to
California in 1987 then on to Michigan in 1989.  Two friends of mine
(W9NIP and W8EB) sparked a passion in me for DX starting in 1996 at the
bottom of the sunspot cycle.  I took up the challenge and 2 and 1/2
years later I'm sitting with 298 countries confirmed and 5 Band DXCC on
the wall.  As is the case with many DXers this also led to my getting
into contesting, first to build up my country count, then for the shear
joy of the sport.  My station consists of a Yaesu 1000D and an Alpha
87A.  The tower is a 48 foot Rohn with a 5 band quad for 10 through 20
meters.  A 32 foot Unihat vertical is used for 40/80/160.  My friend
Bil (W8EB), and I, and our wives go to St.Maarten each Winter and
operate PJ8A in the contests and PJ8/homecall the rest of the time.  I

I arrived in Ukraine on 19 August 1993.  I met some local hams in
November of that year and was introduced to a ham named Karpov.  He
worked for the local licensing office (he is a silent key now).  He
examined my US license and tested my code ability.  He then asked,
"What callsign do you want?"  I was a bit surprised and replied, "I'd
like to be UB5EUC because I hold WB5EUC in the USA."  He said, "That is
not possible, Ukraine will have new prefixes as of 1-1-94 and that is
when your license will be effective.  So your call must be UR thru UZ -
any number 0 thru 9 - with the first letter after the number being a
"C" (for Cherkassy Oblast)."  So I asked what some of our mutual
friends were requesting.  He said various callsigns - like UY7CW,
US7CQ, UX7CQ - so I said I would like US5CQ.  He said, "Ok, no problem"
and completed the paper work.  I was somewhat skeptical.  But within a
few days, my license was ready and waiting for me at the Cherkassy
Oblast Radio Club.

I have held US5CQ ever since.

My Stateside callsign is  WB5EUC and I was PY1ZEL for 18 months in the
early 1980's when I lived in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Born in 1952, I became an avid radiophile with the advent of Bell
Laboratories' discovery of the transistor and the subsequent widespread
availability of the "transistor radio", a ubiquitous and miraculously
small, handheld device that was the rage of the early 1960's in
America.  Although many of my first radio acquisitions were tube-type
devices, I knew even at an early age (Age 8) that semiconductor devices
would change the future of the World.  I witnessed the marvel of the
Russian Sputnik satellite by radio in my first grade classroom and in
high school during  the mid-sixties built a suitable high temperature
silicon oven and fabricated my own home-brew transistor that was used
to build a one-transistor receiver. My fascination with the U.S Space
Program began  with the initial launches of Alan Shepard and John Glenn
and continued through and beyond the Apollo program's realization of
President Kennedy's mandate to place a man on the moon before the end
of the 1960 decade.  After more years of educatio

Hello and thanks for stopping by.  I became interested in ham radio
through SWLing as a kid, but did not get my ham license until I was 28
years old in 1977.  My first callsign was WD5EBZ.  I operated mostly HF
CW through 1979 when I became inactive for a very long time.  In June,
1993, I got back into the hobby, and not long afterward got a new
callsign, KJ5OK.  HF CW was still my main preoccupation, but I also did
a little bit of VHF and UHF FM operating.

When the vanity callsign program allowed me to, I got my present
callsign, W5EI on November 4, 1996.  I wanted the suffix because it is
very fast on CW, and it is also the prefix for Ireland ( I am of Irish
anscestry).  I got my KAM+ TNC in July of 1997, and have been
interested in HF digital operating since then.  I still like to operate
CW, but PACTOR is a lot of fun for me also.

I like to collect old telegraph keys as an adjunct to my radio hobby.
Contesting is not something I do very much, but I enjoy Field Day each
year.  My birthday is July 23, 1949, and I am semi-retired from the oil
business in Tyler, Texas.  My equipment now consists of a Yaesu FT900
HF rig, and a Yaesu FT8100 for 2 meter/70 cm FM.

The El Paso Amateur Radio Club was formed in May 1946. The first
president elected was Bill Dickerson, W5JOT. Former members of the
Transmitting Amateurs Association (TAA) assisted in the organization of
the new club. The TAA was organized in 1927 and was active until the
start of World War Two. In July 1949, the constitution and bylaws of
the El Paso Amateur Radio Club were approved. The club was incorporated
on December 12, 1949.

The new club immediately started radio classes, radio demonstrations
and field trips such as the trip to White Sands Missile Range to
observe the firing of a German V2 missile. A building fund was
commenced in March 1949. Approximately $7,000 donations to the fund
were made through selling chances on a Chevrolet sedan. This project
netted about $4,000.

On June 19, 1949 Field Day was held at Cowboy Park (then located on
Alameda Avenue). There were eight amateur radio transmitters in
operation, including transmitters of EPARC and the US Naval Reserve.
The price drawing for the Chevrolet and other prizes were held during
the Field Day Activites. An estimated crowd of 2,000 people attended
the drawing.

The club continued to add to the building fund by raffles and actions.
Due to the generosity of Henry Woolridge of the Lone Star Motor
Company, the property at 1501 Golden Hill Terrace was purchased at the
bargain price of $1,000 in 1951. Records are not available on the cost
of the building, but the building was contructed by the John Chamness
Contruction Company at no profit. The materials used in the
construction were also furnished at cost. The members of the club did
all the painting, put up the ceiling, laid the floor tile and furnished
chairs and tables. The antenna tower was donated and erected by Tex
Burdick W5BQU.

The club has operated a club station since it was organized. From 1947
to 1950 the club call was W5MGI. The club call was W5PEW form 1951 to
1954. From 1954 to the present the club call has been W5ES. The W5ES
call was originally held by Overman, who at the time of his death in
1933 was a member of the Transmitting Amateurs Association.

Hello,

Thanks for looking up my call, hope to work you on the bands.

My H.F. rig is a Kenwood TS 440S and my antenna is a Mosley TA 33
(10-20meters) up about 60 ft. I have full legal limit power
capabilities with my Henry 2k linear amplifier, although I rarely use
that much wattage. I love to work the H.F.bands,I am trying to get the
US-CA and the DXCC awards.


I am active locally on the 2 meter band, using my Kenwood TS711A.  On
this band I am using a Cushcraft A148-20T vertical and horizontal yagi
beam. A Hy-gain Tail Twister rotator turns both beams.The picture above
is a shot of my tower.


Hope to work you soon. Wish you good DX !!

Jim Wills served in the U. S. Navy as a telegrapher from 1950 till
1954. In 1956 he joined the U. S. Air Force and became a tail gunner
(Defensive System Operator). He flew on B-25s, B-50s, B-66s and B-52s.
He became a ham about 1962. First call was WA5EHQ, next N5HCT and
finally, W5JIM. Sometime after Jim became an Extra Class about 1986 he
was dismayed to learn that the extra priviledges did not entitle him to
a call sign of choice. So he petitioned the FCC to restore the call
sign of choice that had previously been accorded Extra class operators.
The FCC refused to respond, so in 1990 he contacted Congressman Ralph
Hall who sits on the Telecommunication Sub-Committee and explained that
hams would pay an administrative fee for the call sign of choice. It
took three years, but on August 10, 1993 the President signed
legislation authorizing the FCC to collect a fee for issuance of a
specially selected call sign. It took the FCC another three years to
comply, but in November 1996 Jim Wills finally received W5JIM as his
primary station license. Perserverance pays off if you live long
enough. Jim holds a BS from LeTourneau University, was chief instructor

communications system, and have been instrumental in developing, and
construction of NASA LANDSAT EARTH STATIONS...AS WELL AS OTHER PROJECTS
OF COMMUNICATIONS ENDEVORS...

I first became interested in Amateur Radio at the age of 8, when I had
a neighbor, one Paul Pond  (W5DWS), educated me in the art of "Ham
Radio", with a Johnson Ranger and an HQ 150 receiver.

Little did I know at that time, that I too would use the famous E.F.
Johnson equipment, and then become a personal acquaitance of Mr. Edgar
F. Johnson, but too, enjoy a long term career with the E.F. Johnson
Co.

Wishing all of you who should drop by to look up WA5DAU, who is the
original holder of the call.....I say HAPPY HAMMING, AND MY GOD BLESS
YOU AND YOURS.

The mobile setup has been updated since this picture was taken, and now
consists of an Alinco DX-70T driving an RF Electronics 1KW amp.  The
amp is mounted in a metal truck tool box with a 7 pole Chebyshev
filter. Four 1 farad caps in parallel eliminate voltage fluctuations.
DC power is supplied via 00 welding cable with a second battery mounted
in the bed near the amp.  The antenna now uses the GLA Texas Bugcatcher
6 inch dia coil with #10 wire at 4 turns per inch, and is 4.6 feet up
from the truck bed.  The capacity hat is 26 inches above the load coil.
Total antenna height is 12 feet above the bed and 15 feet above ground.
It is set to resonance at the  upper end of each band, and tuned with a
remotely adjustable inductor mounted at the feed point and housed in a
metal ammunition box. Impedance matching is done with a manually tapped
inductor to ground. An MFJ-986 is used to monitor forward/reflected
power. For operation above 20, the load coil is shorted out, tuner
bypassed and the antenna becomes a simple 12 foot whip and is tuned
with the MFJ. Coax to the antenna is double shielded.

I became interested in amateur radio in mid-life. My brother-in-law and
his wife had entered their careers as evangelical missionaries to
Venezuela, Colombia, and Western South America.  They came to visit and
had been presented a Zenith Transoceanic Shortwave Radio as a
going-away present by their local church.  We listened to the foreign
broadcast stations which came in so clearly that I was facinated. This
was in 1965. I bought an inexpensive receiver and began to listen to
short-wave myself. There was still a good many amateur radio stations
operating in the AM mode on the ham bands at the time and I found
myself listening to them more and more. I thought it would be nice to
be able to talk with my missionary relatives in this manner, so I
inquired as to how to get a license. I went to the library and began to
read about radio theory and contacted a couple of local hams. I was
able to borrow some code practice records from them and proceeded to
learn the alphabet. Of course, I made all of the mistakes of learning
the code which made it about twice as hard to get my code speed up to
the required level. I met one of the original ham operators in town and
he guided me through the Novice period and helped me set up my
station.  In a few months I had mastered the code requirement and the
theory requirement for my General license.  In retrospect, I think I
would have enjoyed that period of ham radio more if I had kept my
Novice license for the full year.I admire the hams who preceded me for
their skill at homebrew construction.  Many of them spent years
building up their AM stations to the state of the art at that time.  I
also met several of the pioneers in sideband construction.  The theory
was understandable to most amateur operator in those early days, until
we entered the "blackbox" period of solid state construction.  Few hams
today are proficient enough, or have the resources to build a state of
the art transceiver by themselves.  Something has definitely been
lost.Today, in my retirement, I continue to operate daily on 40 and 75
meters. Friendships acquired in my years of ham radio are cherished and
I consider ham radio to be a great life-long activity with many facets.

I was born on my Grandfather's ranch 11 miles west of Comanche,Texas on
11-21-1930. Grew up there working the ranch with my parents. Left home
in 1948, spent a year in Washington, DC and enlisted in the U.S.  Air
Force in May 1949. First 10 years in the AF were in administration and
the next 11 years included retraining into electronics and working with
the B-52 bomber radar jamming and then to the AGM 28B missile test
equipment maintenance. (AGM 28Bs were 42' missiles with a J-52 jet
engine that mounted 1 under each wing of the B-52s. They looked like a
small fighter without a cockpit and carried a very powerful small H
Bomb.) After retiring from the Air Force in Jan 70, I sold real estate
for about 16 years. Since then I have been in and out of sales jobs of
various types and have spent about 13 years in Quality Assurance
programs in local manufacturing plants in Austin,TX.  I still stay busy
with part time low stress jobs that I enjoy but consider myself
semi-retired. I enjoy travel, ham radio, computers, doing most of all
the domestic and automotive repairs, working in the yard, collecting
pocket knives and visiting with my family. My wife, Dot, and I like to
get in our 26' Tioga Motor Home and roam around the United States. We
have RV pads on our ranch and take it on the deer and turkey hunts with
us, plug it in and "rough it". Our ranch is 156 miles from Austin near
Comanche,TX. I have been a very avid radio fan since I was 3 years old.

Greetings fellow Amateurs,

The Jack's Peak, New Mexico, communications site is just one of a dozen
mountain tops in New Mexico and Arizona that are utilized by the Jack's
Peak Amateur Radio Association (JPARA).  These sites are home to 70
cm.  repeaters and point to point linking systems, utilized in
conjunction with 2 meter remotely controlled base stations.

Jack's Peak is located in Grant County approximately midway between
Lordsburg and Silver City in the southwest corner of the state.  Jack's
Peak is one of the 3 highest peaks in the top of the Burro Mountain
range and sits astride the Continental Divide at an elevation of 7,985
feet (2,434 Meters).  It is in the eastern portion of Grid Square DM52
at 32-34-55 N & 108-25-56 W.

Jack's Peak was first used as a solar observatory site in the 1930s but
was abandoned for that purpose in the 1950s.  The first electronic
communications equipment was installed in the late 1950s.

In 1976 JPARA applied for and received a permit from the US Forest
Service to install Amateur Radio repeater equipment.  JPARA has its own
12'x16' building and 135' high tower to accommodate 2 VHF and 1 UHF FM
repeaters, VHF and UHF packet, & 7 UHF linking radios, all in the
Amateur service.   We also accommodate 2 television translators and 4
commercial and government VHF repeaters.

Jack's Peak is also home to telecommunications installations for the
State of New Mexico, US Border Patrol, Texas-New Mexico Power Co., &
various other government and private organizations.

Jack's Peak is a very rough high desert peak with a commanding view
into Arizona to the west, Mexico to the south, and even to the Franklin
Mountains at El Paso, Texas, to the south east.  Primary vegetation is
Ponderosa Pine, Pinon Pine, Juniper, and numerous Oak species.  It is
inhabited by Mule deer, Mountain Lion, Black Bear,  two rattlesnake
species and many other smaller animals.  As is common throughout the
Southwest US on the higher mountain tops, Jack's Peak is home to an
extremely large population of Lady Bugs.

I was first licensed during my freshman year of high school at New
Braunfels High School in New Braunfels, Texas as WN5RUE.  I took my
test just before the Christmas break and waited an agonizing three
months for my ticket to come in the mail.  It was effective February
12, 1976 and MY NAME WAS SPELLED INCORRECTLY!  So, I had to wait until
May for my real license.  I missed my Bicentennial WAS by FOUR DAYS
when I got W0FUR in North Dakota in January 1977.

My Elmers, Keith "Larry" Mitchell, (WA5VTT) along with Barry Taylor (ex
WB5RJT) (I wish he'd get his ticket again!) and his father Ray Taylor
(N5NAV ex WB5RBN) were instrumental in pushing me to get my ticket.
Mr. Mitchell taught Physical Science at New Braunfels HS and gave me
the test one day after school in his classroom.  I remember that Mr.
Mitchell had this "feeling" that I had passed.  He wasn't supposed to
look at the test, the tests were secret back then.  Ray Taylor spent
many hours helping me get some old surplus rigs going so that I could
get on the air.

A special thanks to the following people for their help along the
years:

Although my father, W0ONU, tried to get me interested in ham radio at
an earlier age, I was 29 in 1980,when I was licensed as KA5KDR, in
Shreveport, Louisiana. I worked a bunch of CW back in those early
days;now I spend all of my hamming time working SSB, with occasional 2M
repeater QSOs. I've always enjoyed portable operation, having carried
my HW-8 on a few backpacking trips. Three years ago I purchased an MFJ
9420 20M SSB radio which backpacks very nicely. That, combined with my
Emtech ZM-2 antenna tuner,and a 12v 9Ah battery, enables me to work
portable at the campsite for hours, if not days! Great fun!  My next
project is to fix a 20m rig on my road bike! By the way, I have worked
auto/mobile, plane/mobile, train/mobile, maritime/mobile, bike/mobile,

I attended school at Glenn High School, 1st through the 12th grades and
graduated in May of 1941.  I worked for the Pennsy railroad until early
1943.  We farmed, raised hogs and ran a dairy farm.  I married in 1942,

March 13th 1943, was sent to Brownwood Texas at Camp Bowie, then to
Camp Hood.  While in the US Army I attended schools in Detroit
Michigan, General Motors and the Chrysler Corp. Tank assembly plant.  I
studied transmissions of All types at both schools and graduated at the
top of my class.  I met my wife, Dorothy, at Waco Texas, married her on
Dec. 2 1944 before going over seas to the ETO. England,France, Belgium,

Greetings to all! The photo (which appears on my QSL card) was taken on
a reef near the Cayman Islands during a dive my wife and I shared
together. It's our hope that it gives you inspiration and a feeling of
kinship with our fragile environment.

I am QRV on all HF CW band segments, and I look forward to placing your
callsign in the WX5DX log. I QSL all DX stations via the bureau
("direct" requests promptly answered) and return ALL stateside requests
for my card (S.A.S.E not necessary).

Take care, 73, and enjoy the privilege of operating your transciever in
ANY mode you "choose" to operate.

I first became a ham back in the late 60's. My novice call was WN5OGM.
I did not upgrade then and got out of ham radio.  I became interested
again in the mid 80's.  My calls since then, KB5PMC, N5UVF, KJ5BV and
now WX5TX. I guess I need to quit changing calls.

I am a retired Captain of the Abilene TX Fire Dept. I have 4 kids and 4
grandkids.  My wife of 31 years is a ham, KB5TLY and one of my sons is
a ham, KC5WUB.  I am active in Skywarn, HF, VHF and UHF.  I am now a

Rev: AA6KI - Thu Jul 30 12:38:30 1998


Bio:
Born 8/26/54 - Pittsburgh, PA.

Went to Peabody HS in Pittsburgh and Rochester Institute of Technology
(RIT) in Rochester, NY.

My family still lives around the Pittsburgh area and I am truly fond of
"going back" and visiting.  My father owns a Printing Company in
Shadyside, called Markowitz & Haas, Inc.  They have been in business
since 1947.  My grandfather used to own some of the land where US Steel
was once located in Homestead.  I still remember going there when I was
a kid. Once Pittsburgh gets into your blood it's there forever.  I'm an
avid Steeler and Pirate fan.

My hobbies include ham radio, photography, magic and traveling.  When
traveling I usually take an HT with me.  I enjoy speaking to and
meeting hams on VHF/UHF.

I'm a member of the "Academy of Magical Arts and Sciences" and a
performing member of the Magic Castle.

I also enjoy computers and surfing the web.  The web is useful for
research and I am still in awe of the amount of info there.

I moved to the Los Angeles area in 1977 and thought I'd be in CA for
just a couple of years, but it's now been over twenty...  Time sure
flies!

I live in Santa Clarita, CA, a small community approximately 40 miles
north of down town Los Angeles.  It has a very active ham group and
club.

I've always been interested in radio and as a kid enjoyed listening to
Broadcast Band DX. My favorite show was on KDKA (1020)... "Partyline"
with Ed and Wendy King.

I didn't get an amateur radio license (KC6DCD) until 1988, latered
ugraded to Tech and then General (N6VJU) before earning an Extra Class
License (AA6TH) in 1989.  Look for me on the HF bands, primarily 15, 20
and 40 meters.  I really enjoy CW and that's usually where you'll find
me.  My HF rig is Kenwood TS 440S and antennas are a ground mounted
vertical (Hustler BTV5) and a 40 meter dipole.  Both are hidden
antennas because I live in a typical Southern California area with
CC&R's.  On my way to work in the morning I like to chat with a group
on 2 meters, on the 147.735 (Magic Mountain) Repeater.  I also like
440Mhz.  My mobile radio is a Yaesu FT8000R, it's really a nice radio,
I find the "expanded receive" capability quite useful.

My work is with a "Business Development Consultancy" called LTG&A and
I'm the Executive Vice President. They are located in Burbank, CA
(ltga.com).

My hobbies are Amateur Radio, Computers and Radio Controlled Gliders.
On UHF in the Los Angeles area I can frequently be heard on the HAC ARC
70cm Repeater W6HA (445.625- PL 127.3).  I also enjoy the HF bands.
Listen for me on 10M looking for 10-10 numbers (my 10-10 number is
64957), on 15 & 20M when there is GUD DX and on 40M CW in the evening.
I can also be heard on Amateur Satellites RS-12 & RS-15.

In 1994 I led the St. Bernard High School SAREX contact team.  This
team was made up of members of the HAC ARC and TRW ARC.  We had a

men provided wisdom and advice not yet forgotten.

Operated from BV1US in Taipei, Taiwan in 1961-62. Operated from St.
Lawrence Island, Bering Strait, Alaska, in 1962-63. Anyone who never
received QSL cards from me for those operations can contact me by email
or regular. I have all logs for my QSO at those sites.

With relocation to Northern California in 1980, my call was changed to
N6DOJ. I will soon probably re-acquire my original call. My late father
was also an amateur with the callsign K6PFN.

I enjoy DX under modest conditions. All antennas at this and previous
locations have been inverted dipoles, one for each of the primary
bands. They must work since I won my section in the ARRL DX Contest on
LP/CW twice.

I am terrible at sending QSL cards; however, I do not collect them,
either.

February 16, 1935, the son of a school teacher concert pianist mother
and C.P.A. father.  I am a third generation Californian.  We have lost
track of our Hartman relatives because back in the 1700's there was a
shipwreck when they migrated from Pennsylvania to Louisiana and only
one Hartman, a boy of about 12 years survived. I am the only known
surviving male in my generation from this boy's descendant, my great
grandfather, who came to California in the gold rush days in 1848.
There are many Hartmans in Louisiana from the 12 year old Hartman boy,
but my grandfather didn't keep in touch with his relatives so we have
lost track of them.  My spouse is Charlotte Miller whose mother was a
Baldwin.  With the Miller and Baldwin families, I am related to more
people than you can shake a stick at.  I have 5 children and all sons
(three) are ham radio operators along with my wife and one daughter-

My main concern in life is to know God and make Him known better.

for the under-dog...i dont like the stright and narrow
operator,because.they have nothing new to offer,they seem to always
live in the past...i have learned thru ham radio,that you have to be
open-mined in order to gain knowledge,so, to all you stright laced
operators,may you some day get over it...oh bye the way,i still enjoy
operating the citizen band channels,i find a much better type of down
to earth contacts and at least they (CBers)are much less critical of
others.  i will leave you with that,and hope that all you who read this

EAST BAY CONTEST SOCIETY

This minor contest club was formed in early 1998 because one of the
founders got tired of having to repeat the SECTION (EAST BAY) for those
who were misled by his 7 call. A vanity call was obtained that is
shorter than most 1X2 or 2X1 calls even though it is actually a 2X2.
That proves useful in WPX contests as well. Our specialty contests are
Field Day and QRPTTF, although we will play a bit with Sweepstakes and
the WPX contests on occasion.

No competition to anyone, just want to have some fun.

military service, afterwards turned I to my old company back and
operated there as Office machine mechanic-associated.  In the year 1971
have the mastership examination in the precision mechanik Handicraft
stored. In the course of the years my career profile changed
fundamentally.The new job title calls itself office information
elektronics engineers now Elektronics held, first chute with the
calculating machines, then also with reservation and typewriters. Today
I predominantly concern myself with the repairs of photocopying
machines, Cash-registers and printers.  my hobbies are the amateur

K6ACZ (Kalifornia Sixer Alan C. Zack)

My former calls are: KE6UP (1982-1997) also operating portable as /DU1,
/4F1, and /DU6, KH6HNZ (1970-1975) while based at US Coast Guard Air
Station Barbers Pt, Hawaii, including aeromobile from SE Asia and other
Pacific locations and portable operations from Cubi Pt. P.I. (DU3);
Marcus Isld (KA6); Iwo Jima Isld (KA6); Wake (KW6); Palau, Yap, Ulithi,
(KC6); Kwajalein, Majuro, (KX6); Guam, Saipan (KG6); Kure (KH7); Midway
(KM6); Samoa (KS6); Johnson (KJ6). Aeromobile operation was from a USCG
C-130 while enroute to these locations to service the USCG LORAN
Stations there as well as in International waters off the coasts of
Viet-Nam, Thailand, Cambodia, Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Japan, and
Korea. While based at Elizabeth City, N.C., (1967-1970) I operated as
WA0TBU/4 and as aeromobile in the North Atlantic waters off Greenland,
Canada, and Iceland; European waters off Great Britain, Ireland,
Norway, Sweden, Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, France, and Spain, and
in the Caribbean area, and as KL7GAC (1964-67) based at Annette Island,
Alaska, also operating from Kodiak Isld, Sitka, and Juneau. In those
days you were allowed to have a "home call" (WA0TBU from St.  Louis,
Mo.) and a "Secondary Station" call (my callsigns from military
addresses in Alaska and Hawaii).  My last Coast Guard duty station was
Glenview NAS, Chicago, Ill, where I traded WA0TBU for KC9DA.  After
retiring from Coast Guard Aviation with over 20 years of service I
moved to Southern California where I now work for Boeing (formerly at
Rockwell Intl, then McDonnell Douglas, now all Boeing) and traded KC9DA
for KE6UP. I never liked the 2 by 2 calls and so traded KE6UP for
K6ACZ.  I am active on the HF bands and operate the CQWWDX SSB Contest
from the Philippines about every two years. I also try to find a more
"rare" California county for the CA QSO Party (CQP) from time to time.
I have operated the CQP from Imperial and Tulare counties as well as
the home county of Orange.  I try to work the major contests from home.
So for you DX contesters who may be used to hearing KE6UP answering
your CQ's please now listen for K6ACZ. HOA antenna restrictions keep me
in the little pistol category so you may have to listen hard.

73 and Good DX!, Alan

Troop 566 is a Boy Scout Troop in Saratoga, California.  We have about
70 Scouts, and each year there are a few more boys who get their
licenses.  Visit us at http://www.khaira.com .

We got into Ham Radio in a "big way" in 1991, when Rick N7TN ran the
first class for about a dozen of us -- some Scouts, some adults.  The
Scoutmaster, Paul KM6LH (shown above), was in that class, and quickly
upgraded to Advanced.  We also claim KC6YEW, KC6YEX, KC6YEY, KC6YFA,
KD6KRS, KD6MOB, and others.

How do we use amateur radio?  Well, we use VHF while driving on our
outings (using "BSA Simplex" 147.54) -- and throwing up a dipole on 20M
for some CW on many outings -- and operating either at home or
"portable" for JOTA; and our Troop (and Post) Field Day Expeditions.
In 1997 we traveled to the desert of Nevada to operate K6BSA, ranking
in the top fifth of the 2A class; in 1998 we head to a mountaintop in
the Sierra to run a 2A operation plus a VHF/UHF and Novice/Tech
station.

And radio has helped us save lives. Paul assisted in relaying a
"Mayday" message from Mount Whitney to a passing airliner when 12
people were hit by lightning on the peak during a July storm.  And he
also called for a helicopter medivac team from Volgelsang in Yosemite
National Park when an adult had a heart attack on a backpack trip.
Having Ham Radio on a wilderness adventure is consistent with our Scout
Motto:  "Be Prepared!"

In July, 1998, K6BSA will be the radio station at our Scout Council's
Rendezvous'98 international encampment; see more at
http://www.sccc.scouting.org/programs/rend.html and watch for

Hello, my name is Bill Beers, Chief Op of Amateur Radio K6ERQ.  My Ham
friends call me "The Cookie Man"

I was first licensed in 1953 as KN6ERQ. After a year I upgraded to the
General Class License. My first station was a homebrew 6AG7, 6L6
transmitter that I built from the 1953 Arrl Handbook. My first receiver
was a National SW54.. I lived in Yuba City California.  Then I saved my
money and bought a Viking Adventurer and an NC 300 receiver and worked
a lot of DX on CW. As time went on I discovered that the way to get
better gear is to buy kits and I built a Heathkit Twoer and got on 2
meters. I made the mistake of getting married. Then I realized that the
better way was to buy used commercial gear and then trade up. Finally I
traded everything I had in to Henry Radio and got a set of Drakes, the
T4x and R4a, a 40 foot self supporting tower and a 3 element wide
spaced monobander for 20 meters. Then I was in heaven, it was 1968! I
moved to Oroville, CA, and later to the Santa Cruz Mountains. I worked
way to much in main frame computers and got lots of gray hair by age
31.  Then things went down the toilet as they have a way of going and
in 1970 I had to sell my gear. My beam fell and broke while taking down
the tower and I went through a divorce and only wound up with my king
size bed while the xyl got everything else. So...I my life changed and
inhertited some money and lived in Mexico and travelled and I was off
the air until 1996. I was living here in Ferndale, CA When Mark, AA6DX
stopped into my office to try to sell me an ad and I found out I could
get my old call back through the Vanity Call program.  Now I am on CW
on 80, 40, 30, 20 meters. On SSB on 75, 40, 20, 10. I am an ARRL member
and recommend that to all Hams. Being retired, 64 years old and poor, I
again have a set of Drakes.  I use a center fed zepp for all bands, a
20 mtr ground plane, and 10 meter dipole. I have an ICOM 2mtr rig for
home and an HT in my car. I like to check into the Nite Train Net on 75
meters twice a week. They meet at 9 PM Pacific Time 365 days per year

Born:  June 19, 1953 in Shelby, Michigan, USA.

Grew up in Fresno, California.

Now living and working in the Los Angeles and Orange County area.

Some of my earliest memories are of my father operating his amateur
radio, speaking into the mic "this is king 6 oboe uncle easy."  I
always wondered who Uncle Easy was.  My father had been exposed to
radios as a pilot in the Navy during World War II, but he had never had
any formal training in electronics.  He was a biologist by training and
an entomology professor at Fresno State College, and he always hated
mathematics.  So it amazed me that he could take old war surplus radio
equipment apart and modify it and tweak it to use it as ham gear, even
though he didn't know electronic theory.  As I grew up I kept thinking
about getting an amateur radio license, but the theory just seemed so
complicated when I was young.  But because they seemed so mysterious, I
was determined to someday understand how a radio worked.  This was one
of the reasons that I decided to study Electrical Engineering when I
went to college.  I received my Bachelor's degree from the University
of California in Santa Barbara and then went

Eventually I got around to getting that amateur radio license, and when
the vanity call sign program was announced, I thought it would be nice
to get my dad's old call sign back on the air again in honor of his
memory and how he inspired my current career.  My main interests are
VHF and UHF operating and contests, and amateur television.  I am
involved with my company's amateur radio club, The TRW Amateur Radio
Club, W6TRW in Redondo Beach, California.  Famous for their monthly
amateur radio swap meet and their excellent performance during Field
Day.  I operate amateur television from my home and from the W6TRW club
station.

I am married and have a fantastic little 2 year old boy named Nathan,
and a daughter on the way.  The children have to take priority over ham
radio, but I try to do as much as I can.

Other hobbies:  Playing and listening to classical music, reading about
science particularly astronomy and physics, science fiction and Star
Trek (Babylon 5 was pretty good too), old sports cars (I have been
restoring a 1967 Sunbeam Tiger forever), hiking and traveling (I plan
to do some VHF/UHF mountain topping when the kids get a little older),
and I am a lifelong fan of "The Prisoner" TV show starring Patrick
McGoohan.

K6UO was first licensed in May 1939 as W1MCA, and the QTH was
Stratford, CT.  I was 17 years old.  My first station consisted of a
6C5 triode oscillator and a 6L6 final with 50 watts input.  My one xtal
was on 7199 KHz so CW was my mode of operation.  Then CW was the only
mode allowed in the 40 meter band.  In WWII I joined the Navy, was in
the Technician program, attending the Naval Research Lab School.
Served on the USS Springfield in the Pacific theater.  Was discharged
in 1946 after attaining the rank of Chief Petty Officer.  Graduated for
the Univ. of Conn. in 1950.  Companies I worked for were Sylvania
Electric, CBS Electronics (Hytron),  Fairchild Semiconductor, and
Hewlett Packard Co.  Retired in 1985 from HP.  My Ham Radio activities
today:   I took up DXing in 1985, have earned DXCC mixed with over 300
countries, DXCC Phone 280, CW 260, 40 meters 120, and 10 meters.  CW is
still my favorite mode.  I like to break through DX pile ups to prove
you don't need to have a "big gun" station to do it.  My station
consists of a Knwd. TS-950SD, a Alpha Power 91Beta Amp., and 2-el
Mosley 3-band yagi at 40 ft.  elevation.  73......Bill

and was involved in speaking and seminar services following that.

He is now retired, living in Chandler, Arizona.  His consulting work
remains active but at a much slower pace.  During his career in the
auto service industry, he was at every Indy car or NASCAR race that he
and wife Beth could get to.  Amateur (HAM) radio, is the hobby of

Formerly K4CHK I was born in 1942. My main hobbies are amateur radio,
computers, and snow skiing. I've been a hot air balloon pilot since
1992, which got me back into ham radio. We had been using handheld CB
transceivers to communicate balloon-to-chase-crew until the chase truck
got stuck deep in a arroyo on the New Mexico desert. Up in the balloon,
we lost line-of-sight and thus communication with the chase truck.
After landing the balloon, we had to trek many hot, unpleasant miles to
find the truck. So a friend suggested I get my ham license back so we
could use mountaintop "repeaters." I asked, "What's a repeater?" And
ham radio started anew. I got a ticket and my mom (N5ZYE), my best lady
Barbara (KD6OZB), and daughter Megan (KD6HVL) joined me. Now we use
2-meter repeaters for back-up communication between balloons and chase
trucks. It works great. To see some hot air balloons and family

Hello from Redondo Beach. I have been a ham since about 1991. Amateur
radio is a great hobby and it can be a useful tool in many situations.
I have had alot of fun since I got my first licence in 1991.

I am active on the HF bands. I often operate on 17 meters at home and
in the vehicle. I like the propagation characteristics of 18MHz as you
can often DX on fairly minimal power and antenna. With the solar
activity increasing we can look forward to even better conditions in
the near future! Listening for calls on SSB!

I also spend alot of time with the local fm repeaters. There is a great
bunch of hams on the Western Amateur Linking Association (W.A.L.A)
repeaters. We have a local port on 223.78 MHz, and the system talks up
and down the state of California. It is great to be able to talk with
the local hams when traveling north, even from several hundred miles
away! It is a fine Amateur service with a great group of fellows and
gals.

WALA has a home page at  http://www.wala.org  . Go and have a look!  I
have also put a solo page together. Not much, but it is there at
http://pw2.netcom.com/~kc6wsj  . Check it out and drop me a line!

I am a member of the Amateur Radio Relay League. Also the local
Disaster Communications Service. I feel that all hams should help to
provide service to their community whenever possible. It is good for
themselves to improve skills, it is good for the community they serve,
and it is good for Amateur radio. And it's fun!

there insistance I never would have pulled the money out of my wifes
account to start my new hobby in the first place. Ham radio has cost me
a lot of money. The cost of big amps is one thing, the thing that has
cost the most is the time needed away from family. I, am not even going
to count in the cost of keeping Arny happy and Charlie quite. I has all
been worth the money to me. I have had a lot of fun and have bought a

Personal Information

After living in 10 different states & ultimately choosing the Lake
Tahoe area to settle down, I'd have to say that I have no regrets. My
wife Judi & I were married here & decided this would be a great place
to raise our two kids. We all enjoy skiing, hiking, rock climbing,
cycling & basically outdoor life!

My interests include ham radio, flying, sailing and rock climbing. All
of my kids and my XYL have there licenses and it comes in very handy
here in the desert where we live.

I work as an outdoor adventure guide; www.red-jeep.com and generally
have a lot of fun hauling tourists around the desert. I have found this
leads to less stress which is what I had a load of when I was an
engineer.

Living in the desert I am very active in our local ecology and firmly
believe that as a species we are doing our best to kill our world.

Bio:
Name here is Chuck (strangers call me Robert).  I'm an amateur
astronomer, space science and computer enthusiast, musician, video
producer and I manage technology for a major corporation.  I combine my
interests by producing/presenting free multi-media space science
presentations for schools, scouts, churches, Astronomy and HAM Radio
clubs, observatories, colleges and universities.


Over the years, I've visited NASA installations, participated in press
conferences/events, and interviewed NASA personnel, including Jim
Lovell, Buzz Aldrin and Norm Thaggard -- via HAM Radio - while Norm was
living on the Russian space station MIR!  I believe strongly in this
nation's space program and the international efforts towards the
further exploration of space.  I also record NASA missions, events and
programs from NASA Television and have an enormous collection of NASA
footage.


I also host a weekly space science/aerospace/amateur satellite Ham
Radio network called "SpaceNet", carried on the Stanislaus Amateur
Radio Association's (SARA) WD6EJF 2 meter repeater located on Mt. Oso,
in central California. We meet each week to share the latest space news
and have fun.  Our members include aerospace and science professionals
but most of us are simply people with an interest in space science.


We began SpaceNet in June 1997 and planned on it being monthly.  With
the huge interest in space that began the following week - with the
landing of Mars Pathfinder -- SpaceNet became weekly.  During our first
year, we've helped Hams make their first satellite contacts,
communicate with astronauts on board MIR and have their names placed on
interplanetary spacecraft. Our net starts at 8:00 PM PT Friday nights
and can run from one to two hours.  New listeners are always welcome to
check-in. The output for SARA is 145.390 with minus offset, PL 136.5
Hz.  SARA can be reached throughout central California.


My wife isn't a Ham but puts up with all that comes with being married
to a musician and a Ham.  She has her own hobbies, including gardening
and designing clothing using a variety of sewing machines.  She has her
sewing room and I have my Ham shack, fair deal, huh?  We have an
enthusiastic daughter in grade school that loves dinosaurs, computers,
Barbie's and cartoons!  She's been able to use multi-media PC's since
she was 3 and is better at the net than I am. We all enjoy astronomy
and the outdoors and that helps keep us grounded.


Amateur Radio's been a great hobby and has been useful during the
various natural disasters we've had recently. I've made friends,
learned more technology and have even made a difference in people's
lives.  I plan to be using Ham Radio into my retirement, when I'll have
more time to "chase DX".  I wish you all the best and hope you enjoy
Ham Radio as much as I have!  73 everyone.

I enjoy ham radio.  I was born in Camden, N.J. and went to Rutgers
University in Camden.  While I was still a boy, my brother-in-law was a
ham radio operator and I became very interested in his equipment.  I
first started playing with CB and was hooked on communicating by
radio.  I started working as soon as I graduated from high school for a
major oil refining company in Philadelphia. After 19 years, I was
transferred to Los Angeles where I got my first amateur license as
KA6OHZ.  It didn't take me long to upgrade to general as N6ERI, and
then advanced as KE6ZX.  Finally, I got my extra in 1997.  After
working for the same company, in Philadelphia and Los Angeles, for 37
years, I decided it was time to retire early and enjoy even more
amateur radio.  Shortly after retiring in 1994, my wife and I moved to
Lakeland, FL. where we now live.  I am active in the Knights of
Columbus, and the Lakeland Amateur Radio Club and am a VE.  My hobbies
are amateur radio and computers.  I also participate in ARES and Skywar

Greetings from Burbank, California - Media Capital Of The World.

Been licensed less than three years. Running a Kenwood TS570D into a
KLM Tribander up at forty feet. Ameritron amp adds some spunk to my
audio.

I live twelve miles from downtown Los Angeles and two miles away from
the infamous "Hollywood" sign.

Raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, within miles of Heathkit's main store;
hence the interest in amateur radio.  Still a huge fan of the Green Bay
Packers.

A few years ago, went by a recently opened Ham Radio Outlet and
discovered that I could get on the air without code.  Once I got my
first license I quickly got my General.  Am currently working on my
Advanced.

Love talking to people from all over the world, it's a very interesting
hobby.  There's the equipment, then there's the antennas, then there's
the code, then there's just ragchewing.  Sometimes I listen, sometimes
I gab away.  No two days are exactly the same.  Feel after three years
that I've barely scratched the surface.  Took me a year of practice
everyday for one hour to obtain 13 wpm.  College was easy compared to
the code.  But I feel I've accomplished something.

People in the neighborhood are very interested in my Yagi, it's a
conversation piece that brings the world into my house.

nestled in the tall pine trees.

In fact I am using one of the 110' pines to support an Solarcon A99
vertical stick.  I use this when listening to 10-20 meters.  On 2
meters I use a 5 element log periodic for FM work as well as an Isopole
(vertical) and a 35' home built 17 element boomer for SSB work.

I generally monitor the 146.835 repeater in Pine Grove, CA. since my
brother, son, and son-in-law are on this repeater.  When on SSB 2m you
can find me on 144.250 or 144.270.

My equipment includes: Kenwood TS-430S, ICOM IC-706, Mirage B310G,
Yaesu FT50RD HT, converted 10 meter CB, Bearcat BC3000XLT, and soon, I
hope, a FT-8100R.

I have always wanted to be a ham radio operator since I was 12 years
old (I am now 43), but could never learn the code. I tried and tried
until I just gave up, so I lived with CB and Shortwave Listening. In
December, 1996, I was given a Gordon West morse code tape and the rest
is history! As you can see, I have truly advanced in the ham radio
ranks since April, 1997 (my first Tech + license) and I enjoy every
minute of it. I joined the U.S. NAVY in 1972 and was a part of the

First Licensed in 1957 at the age of 17, as a Novice. Upgraded to
Technician one year later. Allowed license to lapse. In the fall of
1997, I decided it was time to resume this hobby, never lost interest,
only lost time to pursue. I got my Tech+ in November, 1997. In July,
1998, I upgraded to General Class. So I guess you could say it took 41
years to go from Novice to General. Perseverance counts for something.

Currently a member of the Palo Alto Amateur Radio Club in Palo Alto,
CA.

I am participating in forming a group to provide emergency
communications via Amateur Radio for disaster conditions such as we had
this past winter due to el Nino. It is a very interesting aspect of the
hobby that I didn't think I would ever be involved in. The effort is
being spear-headed by Lester Grimm, KF6CAK.  As we get a club license,
acquire a repeater, and establish base operations, I will post more
information here and develop a web site for the station.

In our community, we have built a new Fire Station, after many years.
There will be a dedication of the station on 9/19/98. We will be
operating a special event station for the day, K6L. We will offer a
certificate to any one we work and sends us a SASE. Bands we will be
working are not cast in concrete, but 2 meters for sure, both our
locally agreed emergency frequency and the repeaters we can make in the
rest of the area, which is ony 4 or 5.

I've been called a ham all my life, but only recently earned the title
as it applies to amateur radio. Having been prodded, pushed, and nagged
.. oh, okay .. "encouraged and assisted" by my many ham friends to
study for the tech license, I finally got down to work, and became
KF6OZF on December 17, 1997. My dad was a Canadian ham (not to be
confused with Canadian bacon) for many years, and I promised him when I
was 12 that I'd get my license one day. Now let's see .. that was, oh,
about 41 years ago, so I guess the term "procrastination" might not be
out of order. Needless to say, I'm delighted I earned my license, and
I'm proud to be associated with such a fine group of people.

My other interests are computers and writing. I work in the video
production field. Our company produces video tutorials for computer
programs and basic conversational English. These are produced in
English, Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Korean, Armenian,
and Russian. I write and edit scripts, assist with production on
location, manage talent, do voiceovers, edit footage, run computers,
and occasionally get shoved in front of a camera. Oh, and once in
awhile, I even get to eat lunch.

I'm a widow with one daughter, who has recently made me the proud
grandmother of five-month old Caitlyn, who is seen with me in the above
picture. My daughter, Linda, is in the U.S. Navy, stationed aboard The
U.S.S. Boxer out of San Diego. If you think being a Gunner's Mate is a
non-traditional job for a pretty young woman, she was a forest fire
fighter in Northern California prior to joining the Navy. I raised her
to believe she can do anything she's willing to work for, and darned if
she didn't go and do just that!

I'm often heard on the JAARS repeater (146.355) located in Monterey
Park, California. 73's !

I was introduced to electronics at the age of 10, when my uncle
explained the mystery of AM modulation. That was it. I spend most of my
pre teen and teen age years playing with some sort of transmitting
device.  A 6146B oscillator comes to mind with a 3 turn coil on a 1 cm
form and a 10-40 pf variable capacitor ( do the math and you'll find
out the frequency:) ).  That was in Greece around 1976-79. There were
about 4 "official" stations and about 500 "not".

It took me about 18 years and 3 countries later to get my ticket.  I
left Greece in '84 and lived in England for 2 years. I arrived in the
US in 1986.  My first stop was at the local burger joint and the second
at the local Radio Shack store.

Currently I am having fun with antenna construction and antenna
constrictions.  One is more fun than the other.  For equipment I use a
TS-820S connected to a Ten-Tec 6m transverter, feding a home brew 2
element quad.  Not state of the art, but it works.

Radio frequency explorations and computers are my main hobbies along
with photography.  Favorite operating systems include and ARE limited
to Linux ( sensible distributions only), OS/2 and windows NT.

Secret wish: To actually hear someone on 6m that lives more than 4 zip
codes away from me :)

Like most of us I have to work. Luckily, I work from home supporting
client's computer systems across the country for the software company I
work for.

I attempted to escape from California once by moving to Boston. Then I
met Stacey and I moved back!

I'm a brand new licensed Tech as of 7-17-98.  My primary reason for
becoming licensed is because I am an avid four wheeler (read that
jeeper) in the southern California area where CBs and Cellulars just
don't hack it. My ham ticket becomes my insurance policy.  I drive an
'87 Jeep Wrangler with about 7 inches of suspension lift and a 2 inch
body lift and roll on BFG 33s.  I put electronic fuel injection on it
so that is doesn't stall out when I start climbing hills.  I've driven
the Rubicon twice, once in a Suzuki!  I've also done Santiago's
Revenge, Johnson Valley with all the 'Hammers, and Truckhaven, home of
Tierra del Sol.  I belong to an organized four wheel drive club, San
Diego Four Wheelers, and I DO NOT WHEEL ALONE!

With my wife, Louise, as my co-pilot, I frequently tow my Jeep behind
my Ford F250 which has a Lance camper sitting on the back.  We drove
the truck (without the Jeep) to Alaska last year, which tells you that
we like to travel and camp.  We are checking out areas which we may
want to spend more time in when I retire in three years.

I have been working for San Diego County for 29 years, the past five
years overseeing an 80 million dollar capital improvement construction
project which we are finishing up now.  I've already begun my next
assignemnt which is a $50 million project just a mile north of the

My friend KF6PZY got me involved in amatuer radio. We figured it be an
easy way for us to get in touch with each other when he starts living
down here. I always liked talking on the radio to other people. I tried
CB but as we all know that's for the birds. My friend let me use his
scanner and I listened in on conversations of hams and they were polite
and plentiful. It seemed pretty easy to get into a communication with
another ham.

I am also very interested in learning more about building radios. I did
a little research and found some "recipes" for building a simple CW
transmitter and receiver. I do plan to build those but I have to get my
Tech + license before they become useful. I don't have a radio yet but
I will be getting one soon.

I hope to communicate with you on the air.

A relatively new Ham, I received my first license, N5LWN, in 1988.
Should have done this much sooner; my Uncle Harry, W6ARP, inspired me--
but I was slow to really get with it. Sadly, Harry passed away before
seeing his nephew on the air. In 1989, I received the call of KJ6XH.
(At this time, I was in Sacramento.)

Here in El Cajon, where late-uncle Harry lived, I'm home! Here, I shall
stay. I've already put his old Ham Shack back on the air.  The "Ham
hope" is to further his reputation in the Ham Radio world.

I'm retired, having a fairly rich background in electronics--
especially computers-- and spent a number of good years at the
Goldstone Deep Space Tracking Network, outside of Barstow, CA.  (Here,
co-worker Wes Weems, now W5LLL, gave added Ham-radio in- spiration).

I'm an ordained minister, of the Evangelical Catholic persuasion.  I'm
also a trained organist-- classical/church-type music.

Finally, now I have some time to develope the Ham station. Main
interests are Heathkit equipment, DX, and SSTV. Main rig is an SB-102.
I do enjoy experimenting with different antennas.

Although I started my "professional" career in electronics as an HF
radio tech in the USAF (circa 1957!) it took another thirty-three years
before a co-worker pressured me into learning enough CW to join the Ham
ranks.

At the moment (1998) I'm still gainfully employed - by the ABC TV
network - but a couple of years more will see the end of that.  Perhaps
then there will be time to augment the FM-while-commuting mode of
operating with some HF activity.

Albuquerque, New Mexico where I stayed until enlisting in the Coast
Guard in September of 1973. After recruit training in Alameda,
California I was assigned to Radioman "A" School in Petaluma, where I
was first introduced to Morse Code. I fell in love instantly, both with
CW and with Petaluma. I did not become a ham until late in my career
when my duties as an adminstrator/manager kept me from operating.

After 23 years in the USCG, I retired to Petaluma in 1996 as a Chief
Warrant Officer (Comms).  In October of that year I began work for the
Marin County Sheriffs Office as a 911 dispatcher.

I am actively mostly on HF in the CW mode, but do work SSB sometimes. I
love tube radios (I own two Swan 500cx's) and plan on acquiring more.

Hi everyone,

I was born on January 20, 1956 in Visalia, CA.  I have lived here all
my life, having moved only three times in the last 42 years.  I guess
that makes me a real lost cause homebody!  Family is very important to
my wife Marsha and I, so we are usually not really far from home for
extended lengths of time.  We have no children but do live with a very
interesting cat, which is sometimes more demanding I think.  I also
have two uncles that are amateur operators, which is probably where my
interest came from.

My choosen profession is teaching music.  I currently work for
Springville School District teaching instrumental, vocal, general music
and music history in the K-8 environment.  I have always loved music
and have played the clarinet since 4th grade.  (That was a long time
ago!!)  In addition to teaching during regular hours, I direct the
spring musical which is a slight change from the day to day teaching
that I do.

In addition to being a amateur radio operator, which I find to be
extreamly fun, I am also a private pilot (11yrs).  I am finding
satellite communication a real kick!  Why is it the fun hobbies are
always so expensive?  Other interests include, but are not limited to,
playing in small ensembles and larger groups, arranging music for my
performing groups using a computer and a Korg synthesizer, hiking
around the back country, and fishing, which come to think of it I have
not done in to long a time.

If you ever get to the Visalia area give me a call on 147.480 simplex.
See ya on the birds.

I talk on 2 meters and sometimes 440mhz although I don't get on the
radio too often lately. I spend my time either at work or with my wife
or two young children.

My wife says she will some day get her ham license, but I'm sure that
will be quite a while from now.  My dad has a ham license (N6IFY) and
my mom has a ham license (N6KEZ).  They don't use theirs too often
either.

to Florida for a year and went to Cryptology School and worked the MARS
Station for K0AX at the Naval Technicial Training Center, Corry Field
in Pensacola. Where I met KB5MY.  In 1984 I moved to Imperial Beach and
worked at the Naval Radio Receiving Facility, Naval Communications
Station San Diego as a Cryptologist, for the NOMAD Division and was
stationed their for approx. 6 years, while their I upgraded to General
in 1986 to my current call N6KBG.  I currently live in Ramona,CA where
I have resided since 1995. I'm not as active as I would like to be
since I have many other hobbies in addition to Amateur Radio, there's
just not enough time and money to do everything.  I also belong to the
Citrus Belt Amateur Radio Club in San Bernardino,CA where my father
N6IIE has held many of the offices/net control within the club for many
years.  I guess you could say that I am a 3rd generation Ham, My
grandfather was W6RWE many many moons ago, my father is N6IIE, then
me!  But my brother holds a First Class FCC Commercial Licence as
well.  Were still trying to get him on the Ham bands.

My radio interests are mostly VHF, 6 ,2 meters and 220. Some HF but
with all the Big Guns that live within a couple of miles from me, i'm
more inclined to stay on VHF.  73's Phil, N6KBG

I was living in Walnut, CA when I became a ham by passing my Technician
class license at the FCC field office in Long Beach, CA on 11-3-82. My
job relocated me to the "central coast" (as we call it here) of
California in 1989. Prunedale is a small community about 15 miles north
of Monterey, right next to Castroville, which is the artichoke capital
of the world. I'm only 10 miles south of Gilroy which is the garlic
capital of the world. I'm in a little "slice of heaven" as these are
two of my favorite things.

In 1996 I upgraded to extra and in 1997 I became the President of a
fairly new organization here called ECTAR (Emergency Communications
Through Amateur Radio). ECTAR was one of the first ham clubs in the USA
to obtain non-profit 501(c)(3) status. ECTAR is an ARRL affiliate club
and it's members are also ARES members and Monterey County disaster
service workers.

I operate both base and mobile on several bands but mostly "hang out"
on my repeater and 7.263 on 40m when I'm in the mobile. If you are ever
in the Monterey County area, I own and maintain an open 440 machine on
441.650 (PL 123.0). Give me a call!

No, I'm not a CHP officer as the picture suggests. I'm an air traffic
controller here in Monterey (MRY). The picture was taken when I was to
be an "extra" in a TV movie which unfortunately never came to be. So
much for stardom...

Biography

Marilyn Bagshaw, N6VAW


My younger son, Trevor, N6JRO, introduced me to amateur radio when he
was in high school 15 years ago.  I got my first license in 1987,
KB6UYT, and used it mainly on ocean races sailing down the coast of
California.  Finding fascination with communications at sea, including
downloading weather fax, I upgraded to Extra in 1989.  In 1990, Rich,
W6UDS, introduced me to the world of DX and in 1991 I qualified to join
the Northern California DX Club and am now the Vice President. We have
operated from the South Pacific 5 times; my other calls FO0BAG and
ZK1VAW.  I am a RACES coordinator and have been the Vice President and
the Secretary for the Marin Amateur Radio Club and was a Director on
the Board of the Amateur Communications Society which owns and operates
the repeater system in Marin Co.  I was on the DX Convention Committee
in Fresno, CA, in 1997; I am a charter member of the Pampanito ARC
onboard the WWII Submarine docked at Pier 45 in San Francisco Bay; and,
I am a VE.

My uncle, Will Vetter, was a brass pounder with United Wireless and the
Marconi Co., predecessors of the Radio Corp. of America and helped
found RCA.  He was senior charter member of the Society of Wireless
Pioneers.

I am retired as a systems analyst.  I have two sons:  Trevor who has
his own business, Console Inc., Advanced Internet Technologies, which
communicates live wireless videocasts via the internet including NBC
News, and Tyler, who is a Medic in the Air National Guard and is
employed by Paramounts Great America as Chief Technical Engineer.
Trevor has an EE degree in Physics Engineering; Tyler a BS in Physics
and a Masters in Systems Administration.

My other interests include:  skiing, hiking, camping, photography,
biking, sailing, travelling and music.

I live in an 1892 historic building; the first Catholic church in our
town, in the former nunnery!  I have a Kenwood TS-450 S and currently a
Spider antenna which I use for mobile DX.

Bio:
Allen B. Hubbard (N6VTX) was born in Pasadena, California in 1949 and
still resides there with his Wife, Cristina (N6ZCS) and Son, Patrick,
age 15. Allen is employed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena
as an Engineering Assistant in the Ground Based Observational Systems
Division. Before transferring to J.P.L.in 1996,  he was with the
California Institute of Technology for 20 years.

From his late teens on,  Allen has had an interest in 2-way radio and
Public Service.

Since receiving his ham  license in 1989,  Allen has been active each
year with communications for the Angeles Crest 100 Race at checkpoint
"Eagles Roost" In April 1997, Q.S.T. Magazine published Allen's account
of how packet radio supported the A.C. 100 race.

In November 1995,  Allen proposed to the T.O.R.R.A. Steering Committee,
a plan to use A.P.R.S. (Automatic Packet Reporting System) for the 1997
Tournament of Roses Parade to track parade float convoys.  After a year
of planning, testing and the help of nine other T.O.R.R.A. members, the
A.P.R.S. system worked flawlessly. In 1998 the role of A.P.R.S. was
expanded. For the first time, the new APRS-A4 software and "Street
Atlas" maps were used at the receiving site at  Parade Operations.

Allen has developed two slide show talks on Amateur Radio. The first
one entitled "Earth Quakes, Your Ham Shack, and Other Lash-Up Hints"
has been shown 8 times. This presentation has been given at radio clubs
from Venture to Riverside. This talk was presented at the A.R.R.L.
Southwest Division Convention on the "Queen Mary" in September 1995.
His newer slide show talk, entitled "A.P.R.S., New Frontier in Packet
Radio" has been shown 5 times and was expanded and renamed "Float 54
Where Are You?". This talk/slide show was presented at the A.R.R.L.
Southwest Division Convention in Riverside, California in September
1997.

"Float 54 Where Are You ?"details the setup and workings of  A.P.R.S.
receiving and  tracking stations with diagrams. Slides of actual
program setup screens, maps and tracking maps from the Tournament of
Roses Parade are shown.  Included are "behind the  scenes" photos of
float building, preparation and convoys.  The updated show has 20 new
slides from the 1998 parade.

Allen was past Vice President of the Pasadena Radio Club (W6KA) in
1997, and is Public Events Chairman  for the Club. He assistanced with
the first time use of A.P.R.S. in the 1998 Los Angeles City Marathon.
He is currently a member of the Steering Committee of  T.O.R.R.A, as
the A.P.R.S. Chairman. Allen is preparing  for the expanded use of
A.P.R.S. in the 1999 Tournament of Roses Parade and the 1999 Los
Angeles City Marathon.

building equipment (some tube and some transistor).  I also got my
First Class Radiotelephone license in high school.  I had a good friend
in high school that had Heathkit 90 watt CW transmitter and talked to
Japan.  I wasn't good at code and didn't get my first HAM license until
1990.

NK6D :- Age 80 in 1998.   Originally from Scotland, where I was
GM3SW.   I got that license in 1935, when I was 17.   I was a
volunteer        Wireless Operator in the R.A.F. and was called up in
August l939, a week before the European World War II started.   After a
spell as an operator for aircraft escorting convoys.   Then I was sent
to a Commando unit, and then to an overseas unit.   I wound up in
Sumatra, Indonesia, just as the Japanese invaded the place.    By an
incredible stroke of luck, I escaped -- one of 13 out of a unit of
1300.  But then I found that I was in "India Command" where the rule
was that I had 4 years to serve there.   India, in 1942 included
Pakistan, and I served in Peshawar and Madras before being sent to a
new commando unit at Poona, then to Bombay.  I decided to study
radio-engineering.   When the unit was disbanded, I was sent to
Cawnpore, where I sat the exams of the City and Guilds of London
Institute and the British Institution of Radio Engineers, topping the
list in the latter exams and winning a couple of medals for the
achievement.  I had a job waiting for me (in a bank) when the war
ended.  It wasn't the kind of job I wanted, but after some months of
trying for radio jobs, I had to accept it.   I was sent to London,
where I tried out for a job as Technical Manager of the R S G B.   Then
I decided to try an Australian Bank.  We lived in Melbourne for 8
years.   I like the South Pacific, but in 1956 I gave it all up to try
my hand in the U.S.A.  I worked for Ampex, Alto Scientific Co.,
Shockley Semiconductor Corporation and Lockheed Missiles and Space
Division.   Then I joined in a partnership to start our own company,
which was bought up by Raytheon Corporation four years later , in
1964.   I haven't had a regular job since then, and the "one-year-off"
that I took happened to be the year in which electronics became a
sub-section of computer technology.   In more recent years, a couple of
heart-attacks and quadruple by-pass surgery have limited my activities,
and amateur radio has once more fascinated me.   The F.C.C.  exams were
quite easy, so I got the grade of "extra" without difficulty.   NK6D is
a CW station most of the time.   I don't quite know why.   I just seem
to prefer it that way.

designing and building equipment, but that takes a lot of time.

I am very interested in computers, and have several PCs with different

Hello!  Name here is Fern de VE6PAW, of Beaumont Alberta, and I started
to play with the idea of setting up a local repeater in Beaumont Ab.  A
frequency of 147.18+ was assigned to me and on Aug 21, 1992, the very
first transmisions of the VE6PAW/R repeater was heard. I was able to
run it under my lic as it was in my home so it was part of the station.
The repeater squeeked and squeeled, it was not a very nice repeater to
use, it had a lot of intermod and noise proublems, and very short
range. But me haveing no more then grade 8 education and no training in
radio or repeaters it came as no surprise. Now I was on the road to
learning about repeaters, pretty much self taught, I spent many hours
banging my head in the basement, trying to get it to work better and
improve its range, I was like a teen, always working on a old car
trying to keep it running. Well as time went by, I learned to tune my
own duplexer useing simple tools such as a SWR bridge, Dummy load, and
a hand held radio. As I learned the repeater grew

WW2 as a Wireless Airgunner. I was discharged at the end of WW2. I
married my wife Pat (a Canadian) during the war. Pat came to Australia
as a Canadian war bride.

We decided to immigrate to Canada in 1947, moving about western Canada,
first in Calgary, Alberta, then North Battleford Saskatchewan, where I
held the call VE5RW, then to Edmonton Alberta where I was assigned the
call VE6VK, then to Jasper Alberta and finally returned to our present
location, Calgary Alberta.

My hobbies include ham radio, fly tying, fly fishing, ice fishing and I
play the harmonica. I retired from the Alberta Government Telephones in
1987.

The main activities in ham radio are IOTA and Canadian Islands.  The
picture shown is an operation from a float tube (belly boat), using a
1/4 wave vertical from a WW2 tank (floating) Gel cells for power. 27
countries and 197 contacts were made from the float tube.  I have also
operated from the back of a packhorse.  I enjoy activating Canadian
islands and combine this interest with my fly fishing which takes me

In this Summer of 1998, I am 76 years old and have enjoyed
experimenting with radios since my Dad gave me a 1920's radio set and
battery eliminator.  It was 1934, I was in seventh grade, and couldn't
spend enough time playing with these magical devices in my attic cove.

I made a crystal set using a piece of hard coal for the detector, and
an oatmeal box to wind several hundred feet of magnet wire with a
slider contact to tune stations hundreds of miles away.

Then I made a simple transmitter-receiver using my second type 19
tube.  The first one taught me how to control 2 volts of filament
voltage.  The man on Cortlandt Street didn't say a word as he swapped
me for the new one.

I believe that in 1935 at age 13, I may have caused the world's first
television interference.  I was home alone in my third floor
laboratory, when the doorbell rang two flights below.  My dog and I ran
down to greet a well dressed gentleman who said that he had been
looking for antennas, and had spotted my 5 meter J pole.  (It turned
out OK).

He was an electrical engineer for RCA in Manhattan, and lived on the
next street from our house in Ozone Park, Queens New York, sharing a
rear yard fence.  In his living room was a prototype console in which
the mirrored top lifted so that one could view the picture tube.  The
tuner was marked 1-2-3, and I watched a program broadcast from the
Empire State Building.

He told me to continue my experimenting, as my emissions didn't bother
a fellow experimenter.  This work has been a joy in my life, retiring
as a Development Engineer from Bell Labs AT&T Technologies at age 55,
ten years later retiring a second time in 1987 as Martin Marietta
Senior Engineer at Vandenberg Space Launch Complex 6.

I earned my amateur privileges at Air Force Scott Field Radio School in
1943, and a ham ticket W2QQF arrived soon after my discharge in
February of 1946.  I am now celebrating 52 years of Ham Radio with
calls in the following sequence:  W2QQF, W4MGW, W2QQF again, W6FCR,
upgrading as I went, and in November of 1996 given the Vanity Call
W6BG.

The above QSL card is a block diagram of my remote ham station.  See
FCC Regulation 97.213, Telecommand of an Amateur Station.  A remote
station can be placed almost anywhere. I wanted to control mine by
telephone, so all that I required was a local phone number, 240 volts,
a shack, and a tall antenna support.  For a SASE, I can send a clearer
card.

Handle-- LEE

First licensed in 1937 as W6PQW in Oakland, California.  Became
interested in DX and Contesting in 1938, and began experimenting with
newly-publicized antennas called "Yagi-Uda" after Japanese engineers
who created the idea.... BUT, an antenna with elements just hanging out
there with no connection to the feedline????? Hard to believe in those
days, but, by golly, they worked!! (Became rather popular, too, but
have always wondered what happened to Mr. Uda.)


Was a Junior at UC Berkeley (public speaking/english major) when WW2
broke out. To save the world for democracy (sic), I joined the Navy and
learned about new super-secret radar we were borrowing from the
British, and then began installing same in submarines. In the fall of
1942, volunteered for the new "mosquito fleet", and off I went into the
Pacific arena. Spent two & 1/2 years in Solomons/New Guinea area on PT
Boats and establishing Port Director radio stations for Leyte
invasion.  Contracted malaria severely & was surveyed from Navy 100%
disabled in 1945.

Resumed DXing & Contesting after the war. Experimented, mostly on ten
meters, with various antennas with combined driven/parasitic elements,
and with Negative Cycle Loading of AM modulation.  Excellent results
with 90 watts RF/150 watts audio, so published in CQ, January, 1959.
Had a ball competing with kilowatts.

Obtained W6BH in 1968.

Was now on an 1100 ft hill & used 5over5 on 20 meters for years.
Earned quite a few certs in contests.  Great DXing years, but my
hearing was beginning to fade as a consequence of wartime muzzle blasts
too many times..... Business career in marketing and entrepreneurism
quite successful.  Retired (sold out) in 1989.  Moved from Oakland to
Newport Beach early 1987.

Very restricted antenna situation at the new QTH, only a long wire
strung (sneaky-pete!) in the tree branches along a golf course
fairway.  My hearing had seemed to stabilize at a usable level, so in
1996 began planning and installation of remote-controlled QTH.


The remote QTH is 90 miles from my shack, on ten acres atop a mile-high
mountain in southern California. Rotary beams are all on separate
motorized towers ---- 10 mtrs: 7over7 @ 90 ft ---- 15 mtrs: 6over6 @ 90
ft ---- 20 mtrs: 6over6 @ 110 ft ----- 40 mtrs: 3el, fullsize @ 90 ft
---- 80 mtrs: 4-square verticals ---- 160 mtrs: 2el, fullsize 1/4wave
verticals, phased & reversible ---- 18el log periodic @ 90 ft for WARC
bands ---- fixed KT34XAs @ N/S/E/W for spotting.

I am one of those computer people ... seemingly obsessed with detail
... but in reality consumed by the complexity of it all.  I mess with
Billy Gates' latest Windows NT toys ... hopefully to the benefit of my
clients.   In the (now distant) past, I ran large IBM mainframes shops
- mostly for the travel industry.  Having switched to the micro world,
I'm much more hands-on now and enjoying it.

Obviously, ham radio is a heavy interest.  It took me 25 years to get
past the 13 wpm obstacle to HF - but in just 43 days of June/July/98, I
went from Tech-Plus to Extra ... I was ready !  I finally got passed
the 13 wpm obstacle by using the MFJ Code Tutor ... to say the least, I
highly recommend it !  Now, if I can just get passed my deed
restrictions that forbid antennas higher than 23 feet !

Equally of interest to me is radio control model aircraft - especially
medium to large size models.  There's nothing quite like the feeling
after a completed flight ... especially with a smooth landing.  I don't
fly as well as my friends ... but I enjoy it very much ... especially
helping folks get started on the "radio sticks".  If you haven't tried
it, find a flying field near you and ask for a chance at the sticks -
they are usually VERY willing to help you get started.

Travel is my third avocation - in the past provided by employment with
a now-defunct major air carrier.   These days I can satisfy that yen
because my younger son is with a surviving major carrier and provides
me flight benefits !   Those flights allow me frequent access to
family, friends and hobby events.  Assuming my schedule is manageable,
I get to most significant - and some not so significant - family
events, visit with friends I've left in distant cities, vacation in
some pretty nice locales and fly to the annual Dayton Hamfest ... as
well as the radio control equivalent in Toledo.

I recently moved to South Texas - just west of San Antonio - and like
it very much ... especially the folks around here.  Having been born,
raised and worked much in NYC and environs, my speech tags me heavily
but these fine Texans have accepted me as one of their own.

Unfortunately, the weather is a larger burden than I expected - with
temps averaging 100+ since the first of May and humidity substantially
higher than my (native) wife promised !

That's got to be more than you want to know about me !  73,  w6BOB.

March 1958 - Poplar Bluff, MO. Licensed as KN0OQA. 15 years old. Rig
was S-38D and a converted ARC5 on 40 meter CW, then a Globe Chief for
40 and 15. There were only three Novices in our small town so we were
outcasts. Novices were despised at that time and were thought to be the
beginning of the end of Amateur Radio.

March 1959 - Do or Die for Conditional (General) license. At that time
the Novice license expired after one year and wasn't renewable. You
either upgraded or you were off the air! Code was no problem after a
year on CW, but the theory was a killer. "Draw a schematic of a Class B
amplifier using push-pull modulation and explain your work". Passed!
Got a Hallicrafters S-53A. Wow. Three inches of bandspread. Traded in
the Chief for a Globe Scout 680A kit. Got chased off the bands trying
to run 50 watts of Amplitude Modulation. Back to CW for the next 10
years.

1961-1968 US Air Force. College. Engineer @ McDonnell Aircraft.

1968 - Back on the air. Built a Heathkit SB-101. SSB for the first
time. That was great. Apartment in St.Louis, MO with a 40 meter diople
in the attic. Worked about 50 countries in 3 months before heading to
Edwards Air Force Base.

1970-1989 - Married. Career. Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego. Off
the air!

1989 - Stopped by HRO in San Diego. Where is the Collins,
Hallicrafters, National, Hammurland equipment? No more World Radio
Labs? Walter Ashe? What is all this new stuff? Icom, Kenwood,
Yaesu...My license was expired, but I found I could start over. Do it
right this time! Studying for license, bought a Collins S Line, passed
Novice test and Extra CW. What a wonderful 1st year back on as KC6EYZ.
Sunspots going wild. If there are 10-10 numbers on 10 meters, why
aren't there 15-15 numbers on 15 meters? Thanks to Harry W6LKC for so
much help during my first year back on the air. Discovered contesting
and DX'ing. S-Line not too good for contesting. Purchased an Icom-761.
In a CQWW (as a novice) I worked 111 different countries on 10 meter CW
in 11 hours. There is no meters like 10 meters!

1990 - After a year as a Novice upgraded to General, Advanced and then
Extra. Got a new call KK6XN in March of 1991. Have recently (Nov. 1996)
changed call to W6KY.

Member: Southern Calif Contest Club(SCCC), San Diego DX Club, Trustee

I was born in 1948 in Torrance, California.  My parents were from New
Haven, Wyoming near Hulett, which is near The Devil's Tower, National
Monument.

I became interested in amateur radio as a result of helping my father
recover electronic components from old television sets.  Later I built
crystal radio sets, strung antennas, built solid state beat frequency
oscillators, and was introduced to amateur radio by my good friend
"Butch" (Lawrence) Fleming while taking electronic classes at Torrance
High.  Our high school electronics teacher, Mr. Robert Baker, also a
ham, was an inspiration to me.

I was drafted into the US Army in 1968, took basic at Fort Ord and
Advanced Infantry Training at Fort Dix.  I was selected for Field
Artillery Officer Candidate School and was commissioned a second
Lieutenant in March 1969.

During a subsequent assignment I met and married the former Barbara
Arlene Boyette, now W5HKY.  I was assigned to Vietnam and while under
orders Barbara and I built a Heathkit HW 101.

While in Vietnam I sponsored a series of MARS stations near Pleiku in
the 1972, and operated one from my "hooch" allowing me to run phone
patches for the men and women assigned to II Corps from my quarters.

I acquired my novice license, WN5LMJ, in 1974 while at Fort Sill,
Oklahoma.  Barbara acquired her novice license, WD5HKY, after we were
assigned to Fort Ord, California.  Her mentor was the now famous Art
Bell, radio talk show host.

I was the founder of the Greater Stuttgart Amateur Radio Club in
Stuttgart, Germany; co-founder of the Panama Canal Astronomical
Society, and founder of the Southwest Oklahoma Astronomical Society.


Today Barbara and I have five children all licensed.  Barbara and I
each hold an extra class amateur radio license.  She tends to the
family and is very active witht the VHL Family Alliance.  I am busy
running a new startup company, OnLine Training, Inc., that provides
G.E.D. preparation courses, continuing education courses for the real
estate and insurance industries, and host distance education courses
for universities and colleges.

the Navy in 1942, served in South Pacific as a Radioman, with Commander
Transport Squadron 17, aboard the USS Chilton, APA38. Discharged
December 1945.

Having learned the code pretty well. I decided to go for Ham Radio so
in June of 1947 I got my license and in 1951 was called back in Navy
for 1 year and sent to Adak Alaska. Probably was best duty ever. spent
about 2 days out of every 3 at the Ham Shack

Bio:
Born in '46, I lived in San Diego through college.  In '67 I hitchhiked
up the Alaska Highway.  I worked summers in Juneau before moving here
in '70.

Juneau Ak-'70 to'75.  I was News & Public Affairs Director at KJNO,
worked for the Ak State Library and started KTOO FM.

Anchorage Ak-'75 to'80.  I was a Transportation Consultant to The
Municipality Of Anchorage, and I was an AARC president.

San Diego-'80 to'82.  My wife Terry (AL7AE) and I were active in ATV.

Juneau Ak-'82 to now, I've been JARC president, and with Terry, started
LPTV Ch 5 and Snowfree Video (equipment sales & service).  Our daughter
Glenn Alice (NOCALL yet) was born in '91.

I'm active on HF, favor 12 & 160m, and I operate a UHF controlled HF
remote station.  I like VHF, UHF, PACKET and ATV.  My club niche is
project organization.  "Keep'em working, not fighting!"  I like
rag-chewing when it's bright and interesting.  We travel in a little RV
(Sponge 'N Drift) and can often be worked as we drive the Ak Hwy.  I
sometimes fly a nylon kite with 600' wire as HF antenna.  We have a
recreational home in Bisbee Az, and I sometimes op from there.

In addition to my e-mail address, I can be found on Alaska nets:

Ak Pacific  14.292  M-F  9:30am Pacific time.  Ak BUSH      7.093 7
days 8pm Ak time.  Motley       3.933 7 days 9pm Ak time.

Perhaps my worst fault as a ham is that I dislike unnecessary
paperwork.  QSL cards smell an awful lot like work to me, and I rarely
send them.  SORRY!  That's one reason I never got an Alaska callsign.
I can rag-chew for hours and never be asked for a card.  No one needs a
"6"!  Still, I often bring up this website while in a rag-chew, to find
out who I'm talking with.

In addition to Amateur Radio, I'm interested in local affairs,
community issues and lots of other things.

First licensed in 1969 as WN6ILT, I've had the same call for 31 years.
That's why I haven't changed it despite moving to Massachusetts.

I've participated in many aspects of ham radio, including DXing, QRP,
traffic handling and VHF/UHF work.  My main interests currently are
amateur satellites(OSCAR)and HF digital modes, including RTTY con-
testing.  I belong to AMSAT and ARRL.

The station in the picture coniststs of a Kenwood TS-44Os/AT, Icom 271H
(two meter) and 471H (70cm) multimode transceivers along with the CT-17
satellite interface.  The TNC is an AEA DSP-2232.  My computer is a
home-brewed 133 MHz. Pentium.

Antennas consist of a G5RV for HF, Cushcraft 140-20T and M^2 CP-36 for
satellite work.  For preamps, I use an Icom AG-25 for two meters and a
SSB Electronics SB-4000 for 70 cm.  All the antennas are mounted on a
US Towers TMM-33HD crank-down, fold over tower.

My other interests include flying (Private Pilot, Single-engine Land)
and photography.  I love cruising and have operated QRP from the beach
in 6Y, ZF, KV4, and C6.

My wife Chris and I have been married since 1994.  I'm employed as a

ham radio operators.


Rev: WA6JRZ - Sun Aug  2 10:18:32 1998


Bio:
I have been an amateur radio operator since 1960. I was drawn to VHF
and microwave immediately. I mentored with several RF and microwave
engineers and learned how to modify and tune military and commercial
radios to the ham bands. I then studied RF design and built my own
transmitters and receivers from scratch. Although I began with tubes, I
eventually utilized the very first RF transistors which were Philco
drift barrier transistors to make a fully solid state 2 meter AM
transceiver.  I became interested in the sound fidelity of FM and built
a wideband FM transceiver for 2 meters. I was among the first 3 - 5
hams in Los Angeles to get on FM experimentally. Later, I designed and
built two remote bases/repeaters in Los Angeles.

I successfully extensively modified a military IFF transponder (APX-6)
to bring it into the 23cm band.  With the help of a mentor, I learned
how to design a dipole feed for a 3 foot parabolic reflector. I was
also fascinated with even higher frequencies and built several
transceivers at 10GHz (3cm) using reflex klystrons as the RF source.


Although I was interested in logging International Broadcast stations
using my homebrew superregenerative receiver, I did not develop an
interest in HF DXing on the ham bands until about 1988. I was not
pursuing DXCC until I finally put up a HF beam for the first time in
1994. My motivation was to talk to my EME friends in Europe on HF. I
soon became hooked on DXing and have made many friends around the
world, some of whom we have visited.

I am interested in EME and Space Communications and have an array on 2m
and 70cm.  I also have a long beam on 6m and enjoy that band very
much.  I am planning to put up a 5m dish for EME. It will be used on
23cm and also for 10GHz (3cm).

In January 1996, I founded a group of technically minded hams called
the VHF, UHF, and Microwave Experimenters Group. I served as President
for two years. We eventually changed the name to the 50MHz and Up Group
of Northern California and formally made Bylaws and established it as a
non-profit scientific and educational research organization. We have
more than 53 members and meet monthly. All of our Newsletters are
available on the web at http://www.nitehawk.com/rasmit/50UP.html


I am also the owner of Pawlan Communications.

My wife, Monica, KQ6PY, finally got her Advanced Class license in
1997.

Bio:
First licensed as W2RPQ (1954) in Elmira, NY at the age of 14.  First
rig was a homebrew 6L6 super-regenerative receiver and a crystal
controlled single 807 transmitter operating CW. Input was well below
the 75 watts novice maximum. After getting my General Class License in
1954 I quickly upgraded the transmitter with a VFO and two parallel
807's. I later used this rig to drive an old self-converted FM
Broadcast Amplifier using push-pull 100TH's to about 600watts. This rig
followed me to California which I sold in 1968. I worked WAS a few
times, plus DXCC all on CW. Lots of fun.

After high school graduation in 1956 (Elmira Free Academy) then entered
US Navy (1959-1963). Got married in November 1959 to the current KD6QCH
while in still in Navy. In 1963 moved to California changing my
callsign to WB6LNA.

I have operated continuously some mode of Amateur Radio for 45 years
first for 10 years in upstate New York and US Navy, then 20 years in
California, 5 years in Texas and currently 12 years in Arizona.
Currently operate many modes, mostly CW(50wpm+), plus SSTV, ATV, AM,
SSB, ax.25, APRS/RDF, and Radio Control Airplanes.

My employment after military from the period 1962-1972 while attending
University of Southern California was spent as a Electronics Hardware
Systems Design Engineer during the early first generation computer
days.  After graduation I worked at virtually every major aerospace
company in Southern and Northern California "Silicon" Valley completely
converting from Hardware to Software Design.  Because of extensive
hardware background I wrote many drivers of very sophisticated
equipment.  I also wrote some Compilers and Operating Systems with many
different tasking architectures.  Lots of applications were also
written for TANDEM-16, PDP-11/xx, NOVA, etc.  Much programming was done
writing Assembler, FORTRAN, C-language drivers for Asynchronous,
Bi-synchronous, SNA/SDLC, x.21, x.25 communications  protocols.

My current occupation for last 12 years is with Romad Enterprises,
Inc.  based in Scottsdale Arizona as a Consulting Senior Scientific
Software Engineer mostly for the (Honeywell) Bull Corporation.

Hello,

I'm Roger Petersen, and I live in Sunnyvale now.  The address above is
pretty old...  I should probably figure out how to change it.

I used to do a lot of CW DX on 15 meters, but haven't been on the air
much lately.  In fact, I don't know if my trusty old SB-101+ still

I first began in Ham Radio in 1976 with VHF and HF.  Since that time, I
have gone on to obtain my Advanced Class license and am currently
working on getting my CW speed up for the Extra Code Test.

I am an active member of the El Cajon Amateur Radio Club, East County
Repeater Association of San Diego County, San Diego DX Club, and the
Southern California Contest Club.  I particularly enjoy DX'ing and
contesting.

Needless to say, my equipment has grown alongside my interest in Ham
Radio.  I currently have a 65 ft. Tower with a KT34A KLM at 80 ft. 20
meter mono bander at 65 ft.  Directly underneath is a DXA Sloper for
40, 80, and 160 meters. I am working on putting together another tower
that will be 120 ft.  Fortunately, I live in a remote area with plenty
of land between neighbors and a great hillside location.

I was born in Detroit, MI in 1930.  Went thru the school system and
before I was to be drafted in 1948 I enlisted in the army.  I knew that
a lightbulb was measured in watts so I was placed in electronics
school!  Had various assignments and ended up in Albuquerque, NM where
I was introduced to amateur radio.  I very soon became KN5CKT but when
the license expired I never renewed it.

I was later on transferred to Tehran, Iran for a wonderful assignment.
I again became interested again in amateur radio and after taking a the
test for a Conditional class license I was assigned my present call
sign WB6ZGH.  This was in 1967.  I also went on the air as a much
wanted station as EP2DW and quickly filled a shoe box full of QSL
cards. Upon my return to the states I took tests for General and
Advanced class licenses.

I'm not too active anymore because of my lack of antennae.  I live in a
mobile home park and there are too many restrictions.  So have turned
to mostly surfing the net and RV'ing.  Take my 2-meter rig with me when
I go.

Hope to eventually get an antenna up other than the Spider Mobile I

Hello there, if you are interested  enought to read this then I guess
i'll spend a couple of minutes typing. I have been a ham since 1967
when I was in the USAF sitting alert underground with nothing else to
do. Since those days I have enjoyed working many contacts, some from my
commercial aircraft while flying over the pacific. Ham radio helps a
lot when you are gone from home about half the time. I also am a
partner in an Internet Service Provider. Don't do what I did and get
into a second occupation while still engaged in the first, very busy.

Currently employed at a Major Electronics company as a Elect. Tech.

2622/2621 Radio Direction finder/Signal Intercept operator.  It was and
still is the most fulfilling job I've ever had.

I received the 'Samuel F. B. Morse' award at the military
communications school and graduated at the top of my class.  A great
honor amidst outstanding candidates.

I graduated from Junior College with my A.S. degree in Electronics and
favor R.F. design and analog circuitry.  I maintained a 3.9 or better
GPA and Highest Honors.

In 1984 or 85 amidst much coaxing by a fellow technician who is a ham
radio operator, I finally went for my Novice License.  I ended up
passing all the tests that day and received my Extra Class License;
callsign WE6W.  By going from non-ham to Extra in one day, I have held
no other calls.

I finished most of my Pre-transfer Electrical Engineering work before
shelving that career.  I also worked as a police officer in the City of
Sausalito, CA for a while.

I am especially proficient with antenna construction in the practical
sense but also have audited Antenna Engineering courses via sattelite

My first ticket was issued in 1975 (WN6EJL) later followed in 1976 with
WA6EJL when I upgraded to General Class. My current call, WN6K, is NOT
a vanity call but was issued in the fall of 1985 when I upgraded to
Extra Class.

My main radio interests are DXing and Contesting. It does not matter
what mode SSB or CW, if there is a small or biggie test on in the
weekend, I am usually begging for a  contact. 99 percent of the time I
am in the Low Power (less than 100 watts)Class. I do this for neighbor
sanity and my Dad also taught me to never pick a fight with the "big
Guys."

My current station is an FT-990 with a TH7DXX above my W-51 Tower at 55
feet.  Above that I rotate a 40 meter dipole wire fed at 67 feet.

I have been Past President of both the Palomar Amateur Radio Club

heard on the air.  The Southern California QRP Society is affiliated
with the QRP Amateur Radio Club International (QRP-ARCI).  Our QRP-ARCI
number is 9632.

CLUB ACTIVITIES:  sCQs may sponsor a QRP operating event in the
future.  Club projects are also a posibility. Future sCQs projects and
operating events are at the discretion of the membership.  sCQs's
primary objectives are to keep Southern California QRPers in touch,
have fun together, exchange QRP hints and ideas, and promote QRP
operation in Southern California.

CLUB MEMBERSHIP:  Membership into the Southern California QRP Society
is open to anyone in the Southern California area who is interested in
Amateur Radio QRP operation. We define "Southern California" as being

Formerly N6UFT, KJ6RK

I was born on December 6, 1953, a mere 8 years after the airplane
pictured above was built.  My main hobbies include flying airplanes,
playing the guitar, computers, ham radio, electronic swap meets and a
host of other expensive activities. I have been a private pilot for 15
years and am currently studying for an Instrument rating.  For the past
10 years, I've been working at Sun Microsystems, Inc., as a Technical
Manager.

The picture above is a recent one of me of me standing in front of an
ex-South African Air Force T6 Texan built in 1941.  Right after the
picture was taken, it's owner and I took it up for a fine ride (with me
at the controls) where I got my first taste of "hanging from the
straps" as we practiced a few aileron rolls over the Verde River, just
east of Phoenix. The photo was taken at Falcon Field in Mesa, AZ. The
aircraft is a real cream puff, despite it's worn paint job. The South
Africans kept it very up-to-date inside with all of the latest
instruments, etc. It was flying regularly as an instrument trainer up
until 1995. With it's 600 HP engine, the propeller tips actually break
the sound barrier during takeoff giving quite a roar to the displeasure
of the nearby neighbors.


I have had some interesting vacations lately - like when we drove
across northern Nevada on hiway 50 and were buzzed by a Navy F-18 as
our RV passed through the Fallon NAS bombing range. It was pretty cool
- the F-18 sneaked up from behind (we never heard it coming) and
blasted us with the roar of the twin afterburners full-on as he pulled
up in front of us. He then rolled inverted and popped off three
anti-missle flares - it was a real hoot. No doubt we were his fun for
the day. I can only imagine what a huge target we must have been on his
radar screen. We immediately pulled off the road and watched him and
several other F-18's make a number of low passes, loops, rolls, etc.,
for more than 1/2 an hour before we continued on our way. As far as I
was concerned, it was the best part of our vacation.

Bio:
I was born in Morgantown, West Virginia, about 45 years ago.  I studied
at West Virginia University.  After college, I worked in Northern
Virginia, helping our government roll out all those reports.

In 1989, I came to Washington to attend classes at Washington State
University.  I spent one year at the university, but continued to live
here.  Im now pretty much settled in as a Spokanite.

My wife is the former Karen McCann, and although we have no children,
we do have three lovely cats that keep us on our toes.  You can find
more information about the family (going back to the 18th century) on
my home page, http://www.iea.com/~fgrig

Besides ham radio, I also enjoy playing around with computers and doing
a little woodworking.  Our house was built in 1899, so I have many
opportunities to work around the house, trying to keep up with
everything that needs repair or replacement.  We have a small lot, but
Ive managed to cram in two dwarf fruit trees, a decent raspberry patch,
and a fair amount of tomato plants each year.

I first became involved with radio by listening to shortwave
broadcasts.  After several years of listening, I finally taught myself
Morse code and took the novice exam.  I bought a 40-meter transceiver
kit from Roy Gregson, W6EMT, and hooked it up to a dipole antenna.  I
highly recommend Roys kits; you can get more information at his web
page, http://pages.prodigy.net/roygregson/

Over the past year, I have dragged my dipole a little higher every few
weeks, moving it from about ten feet off the ground to about 35.  I
finally have it completely above the house and not touching any tree
branches or the roof.  With my little 5-watt transceiver, I can
regularly contact stations in the western states, and I hope to make
W.A.S. with it eventually.

After I got my novice license, I worked on my code speed and studied
the theory so I could upgrade to general.  A couple months later, I
upgraded again to advanced.  I finally got my code speed up to 20 wpm,
so now Ive got an Extra class license.

I think its funny that people complain about the code requirement for
license upgrades.  I only use CW and dont expect to use any other
modes, but I went ahead and studied for the license tests with all
their questions about television and packet and repeater operation.
Its just part of the program, and we just need to reconcile ourselves
to it.  If I can pass a written test about fast-scan TV so I can get
greater CW privileges, the fast-scan TV fans should be able to learn a
little Morse code.

If youre tuned up to the 40-meter band, especially in the novice
portion, be sure to listen for CQ CQ CQ DE AB7YT.  Ill be happy to hear
from you!

Greetings, friend and fellow radio enthusiast!  I became a Ham in 1984,
and time has been flying by ever since!  I enjoy ragchewing on HF, but
also do some casual DXing.  I like playing with antennas, also.

I'm married to my "babe-ette," Terri, and we have the best daughter we
could ever imagine, Stephanie, now age 17.  I've spent a career in the
Air Force, working first as a computer operator (when a computer
main-frame took up a large room and had no integrated circuits!), then
as a radio maintenance technician.  I'm originally from the state of
Ohio, but moved away in 1979 when I joined the military.  I was drawn
to Alaska by KL7HRN, who could not stop talking about it during our
electronic technical training at Keesler, Mississippi in 1984.  After
an invite and a visit, I was hooked.  Landed a transfer to Fairbanks
area in 1987, then moved to Anchorage area in 1991.

Now for the important stuff!  I'm a believer in the Most High God, the
creator of the universe, and His son, Jesus!  He radically saved me
from my old self, and gave me life, more abundantly!  It's been getting
better ever since!  (No joke....ask my family!)  I've "grown-up" under
Freedom In Christ Ministries, located in North Pole, AK, and currently
serve as worship leader for Freedom To Love Church in Anchorage.  I
love God, and believe that He is deserving of all of our praise and
worship!

Radio shack info:  I run a Drake TR7 station with a Heathkit Warrior
811A(x4) amplifier, into a 3-element 20M yagi at 60 feet.

Other interests:  Bicycling, and playing guitar (for about 3 years now,
needed it for worship leading.)  I own an Ovation Celebrity 12-string
acoustic/electric, a 1961 Gretch Clipper hollow-body electric, a 1960s
Danelectro Silvertone solid-body electric, a Les Paul electric copy,
and Yamaha 6-string acoustic.

Hi guys!

Born on May 3rd, 1976 and getting my license at the age of 12 I started
amateur radio on June 11, 1988 as Y24AO from East Berlin.  Being
infected by my father (then Y25AO), DL7VOB, I learned this hobby from
him, Roy, DL7UBA, and Bob, DJ0XC. While working from DJ0XC's QTH I soon
realized what the true challenge:  DX and Contesting. So I decided to
participate in the major contests and to conduct my first DXpedition in
1991 as HB0/Y24AO. Returning to Liechtenstein as HB0/DL7VOA in 1993 I
logged some 6500 QSOs in about one week and realized how important pile
ups can be....  My last DXpedition took me to the Island of Rhodos
where I operated as SV5/DL7VOA.

In 1996 I decided to study Media Economics at the Technical University
in Ilmenau and since then I am operating also as DF0HQ in the major
contests respectively as DA0HQ during the IARU HF World Championship in
mid-July. My favourite bands are the lowbands and therefore you may
find me operating the 40m CW station of DA0HQ together with Dietmar,
DL3DXX.

Since 1993 I am translating the DX Newsletter from the German into the
English language and distribute this DX bulletin worldwide via packet
radio and the internet. Another part I took over is being one of two
webmasters for the DARC DX and HF Contesting Committee.  Please visit
also: http://www.darc.de/referate/dx

Until now I have 303 countries worked and a few less confirmed.
Putting all my emphasis on the studies I am now operating only when
major contests are happening or if a new one appears. I know this is
not very desirable but time is flowing and my problems stay.  So first
of all I do all my stuff and then I take care of my hobbies.

When talking about my hobbies I must not forget to name my other
hobbies like motorsports (Indy Cars, Formula 1, GT Cars), computer and
WOMEN, of course.

Did you get to know what you wanted to know? Fine! If not, just send me
an e-mail to robster@bigfoot.de and I try to answer as many questions
as I can.

Have fun and don't forget: DX is!

History of Mineyuki "Mike" Hanano and JR7HAN

1955   born in Takaoka-city, Toyama, Japan

1969   started ham radio as JA9DTO

1974   entered Tohoku University in Sendai and joined JA7YAA, the club
station of Tohoku Univ. ( http://www.ja7yaa.org.tohoku.ac.jp ). Please
remember that Yagi-Uda beam antenna (Yagi antenna for short) which has
been very popular for radio communication was invented at Tohoku Univ.
by the late Profs Yagi and Uda in 1926.   All the members of the club
are proud of it.

1978   graduated from Department of Precision Engineering, Tohoku Univ.
and joined Japan Metals and Chemicals Co., Ltd., which is the first and
the largest geothermal developer in Japan, as a geothermal development
engineer, then moved to Iwate where the first geothermal power
generation in Japan was started in Matsukawa in 1966  (
http://www.isop.ne.jp/geo-e/ ).

1979   obtained the new call sign JR7HAN, but could not build an
antenna due to the housing problem, thus QRT after some CW QSOs on
40m.

1993   obtained Ph.D. degree in geothermal reservoir engineering from
Tohoku Univ. which is one of the centers of geothermal studies in the
world.

1996   resumed ham radio as JR7HAN with antennas on the top of the
roof, thus able to QRV on most HF bands with QRP and/or 100W.

Favorites: I like chats by CW and/or SSB with QRP and/or low power,
because I know how energy development is difficult in Japan. So, please
find me for chats!! I am now trying DXCC and WPX by QRP. I also like
making ham radio equipment such as QRP rigs etc.

Let's save energy for earth and our future!!

Geothermal Energy: It is the clean, safe and renewable energy source;
CO2 emission per kWh from geothermal power plants is only 1/10 of those
of the fossil fuel power plants.  This energy can also be used for
space heating, industrial use and tourism!! Please visit our home page
above and those of International Geothermal Association and WGC2000 (

I was interested in Amateur Radio during high school at the age of 16.
I had a couple of close freinds that were Hams, one was a classmate and
one was a young married guy.  Both were eager to show off their
stations to me when I asked them and that sparked the interest in the
hobby and electronics.  I went to a General class operator and asked
him to give me the Novice test, (that was how it was done then; a
General or above could give a Novice test, but all other licensing was
done at the FCC Field Office).  I passed the 5 wpm code test but failed
the Novice written test.  I didn't try anymore at that time.

I joined the Navy in 1965, right after high school, and immersed myself
in my new career.  I really liked the Navy and after only a couple of
years on active duty, decided to make it my profession.

In 1978, I was stationed aboard the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, a
neuclear powered aircraft carrier, and found Ham Radio appealing
again.  This time I really buckled down and learned the code and
studied the theory.  I was an electronics technician by that time, so
the theory was fairly easy for me to remember. I went to the Norfolk
FCC Field Office and took the 5 wpm code test and the General theory
test and was awarded a Technician Class license. My first call sign was
N4BLI.  I really worked at getting my code speed up but never could get
past 10 wpm   I worked at it off and on for 13 years until 1991.
During that time I moved to California and then to Utah changing call
signs a couple of times.  In California I was N6DPJ and in Utah I was
N7DSW.

By 1991 I had retired from the Navy after being on active duty for over
20 years and wanted more from Ham Radio than to just be able to use VHF
and above.  So once again, I really buckled down and learned the code
again and practiced and practiced and practiced at getting up to 13 -
15 wpm, went and took the test.  That made me a General.  And that also
made me really get into the theory again and really poured on the
midnight oil, studied everything I could and after a couple of months
went and took the Advanced test and passed that one too. I then changed
call sign to KJ7HO.

I now enjoy communicating on all bands, SSB along with code.  Just
recently I received my new "Vanity" call sign of K7BLI -- notice the
suffix of my call is the same as that of my very first call sign.

I was first licensed in 1988 as KB7GHG. I began using only SSB on 10m.
When the bands started dying I forced myself to relearn the code and
upgrade. Once I was conversational in CW I started to enjoy it. Now I
love it. I still enjoy SSB. I have logged over 250 countries. My
allowance during my teenage years did not cover QSL'ing so I have only
115 confirmed (MIXED). October 10, 1989 is a day I will not forget. I
was able to Work All Continents on 10m within 12 hours. I look forward
to the peak of Cycle 23! I use my fathers station which is a FT-1000MP,
Ameritron AL-80B, Force12 C4-SXL at 55 feet. I am the Vice President of

duty as an electronics instructor thrown in.  In 1971 I was accepted
into the Navy's Warrant Officer Program and served on Bahrain Island
for the next nearly four years.  Callsigns there were MP4BJR and A9XO.
Returning to the U.S. in '75, I then served as the Officer In Charge of

Howdy!

I am Allan Taylor, a fairly active amateur specializing in low band CW
operation. I have been licensed since June 1958 at the age of 11,
beginning with the call WV6ALQ. I have had K7GT since fall 1977. My
family and I have been in Pleasanton CA for 15 years. We eventually
hope to return to Oregon for some retirement years, so I kept the
call.  Besides, it is a superb CW call!! My amateur activity has taken
a back seat to raising our family for most of those 40 years since I
got my license, but as the children are grown there is more time now!

I have been considerably more active since 1994, at which time I got a
permit from the city and put up a 5 el 40m sloper array. What an
antenna!  Too bad it had wires everywhere when cranked down. The
current antenna is a multiband vertical for convenience. I recently
received DXCC for both 40M and CW, a goal that was inspired by a card
received from JA8LN many years ago in the early 60s. No, it wasn't done
QRP, although I have about 10 confirmed on 40 with 2W. I enjoy
operating portable and QRP power levels lend themselves well to that,
but am most definitely not a QRP purist.

I attended Brigham Young University in the late 60s, getting a degree
in Physics. I also did graduate work in mathematical physics at both
Southern Oregon university and the University of Denver. Never did get
that PhD in physics, though. I do enjoy both teaching math at the local
junior college and my full time job at the Lawrence Livermore National
Lab in their computational math/science department. Enough of work.
Back to radio and other fun topics!

One of my amateur radio pastimes is collecting grid square QSLs,
worldwide, on HF. There is an award from the JARL (called WASA) for
those and I may actually apply someday. But in the meantime I a having
a blast. Filing QSLs by grid square tends to show you how closely
intertied we all are here on the Blue Planet.

Look for me mostly on 40cw, but of late also on 30 and 20m. I can also
be found on 15 or 10 when using the club station here at work over
lunchhour. I am getting into contesting, although no competition for
N6TR yet. I have started a contesting club with a call sign that is
fairly good: AE6TT. Look for me/us using that call in FD, SS, etc.

Also look for me operating portable from interesting spots in the
Western USA.



Rev: K7GT - Mon Jun 15 11:02:07 1998


Bio:
I was born in Washington, D.C. but since my Dad worked for the
government, we moved a lot. I grew up in Maryland, Virginia and Florida
(where my Dad taught me to SCUBA dive when I was 8). In the mid 50's we
all moved to California. I went to High School in Camarillo, Thousand
Oaks and finished up in Oxnard. After graduation I joined the US Navy
and went to Boot Camp in San Diego, CA. I served on 2 ships (USS
Eldorado and USS Chicago), spent 18 months in Subic Bay, Philippines
and 7 months in Vietnam. After the Navy I got a little crazy and
hitchhiked up and down the California Coast, Backpacked through Europe
for 3 months and even took up Sky Diving for a while... a short while!
By then I was broke and had to go back to work. I landed a job with the
Dept. of Defense and a little while later I settled down and married
Reba. I transferred to the Naval Weapons Center, China Lake, where I
worked with Instrumentation and Telemerty until I started my own
business in 1981.

I've been in the High Mojave Desert for more than 25 years now, and
believe me, a hobby like Ham Radio comes in real handy. I grew up
listening to "CQ CQ CQ DX" because my Dad, K6SHA has been an Amateur
Radio Operator since 1937. I didn't get involved with the hobby until I
decided to settle down. I was first licensed in the 70's but I didn't
start chasing DX until the early 90's. My past callsigns include
WD6EIL, N4OXH, KM6HG and VK7HG.

Over the years I've talked with Thousands of other Hams, and received
QSL cards from more than 280 Different countries. It's a great hobby!
I've made friends all over the world and I've even been lucky enough to
visit a few. Maybe someday I can hit the lotto and visit the rest.

I've been licensed since 1973, when I received WN9MQY as a college
undergrad on the northwest side of Chicago.  Novicing was fun; I am
proud to say that I built my first transmitter from junker parts and a
circuit published in Electronics Illustrated, and while it wasn't much
of a transmitter, using it to work Rhode Island was pure magic.  I soon
became WB9MQY, and since leaving Chicago in 1979 have been KB2JN
(Rochester, NY), KI6RA (Scotts Valley, CA), and most recently KG7JF
here in Scottsdale, Arizona.  K7JPD achieves my long-held goal of a 1X3
K call, which I always thought were the coolest--and "JPD" are my
initials.  So I will probably keep this call until I croak.

I am currently Editor in Chief of Visual Developer Magazine, and have
written seven books over the years on computer programming of various
sorts, mainly Pascal, x86 assembly, and Delphi.  My amateur radio
interests center around homebrewing and local ragchewing, generally on
52.525.  I have some old AM gear and like AM, especially on 6M.

Other interests of mine include astronomy and telescope making,
robotics, Meccano/Erector modeling, cataloging and classification (a
subcategory of Library Science) writing science fiction, genealogy, and
sacramental religion, especially Catholicism, Old Catholicism, and
Eastern Orthodoxy.

I live in Scottsdale, Arizona's dirt-road country, with my wife Carol,
my dogs, a 190-foot longwire, and a garage full of junk.  In other
words, I live as men might choose.

First licensed in 1963 as a novice, WN8LYZ, at age 15, and later with a
technician class license, WB8BRM, I was out of amateur radio until
August, 1997 when a friend got me involved and licensed as KF6NFL.
This time the studying seemed easier but the desire was just as strong
as it was 30 years ago and I upgraded both my license (to advanced) and
my callsign (to my present K7TEN).  But I'm not finished yet.  I WILL
get to 20 wpm and that Extra license (have already passed the written
portion).  I support the ARRL and as a lawyer, I understand the great
need for such an organization to lobby for preservation of the amateur
bands.  I enjoy using amateur radio for community service activities
and have wonderful memories of my experiences with MARS as N0WEX.  As
of this date, July 1998, my rig consists of a Kenwood TS-570S feeding a
Cushcraft R-7000 and a Cushcraft AR-6 vertical.  On 2 meters, I use an
ICOM IC-2000H to load a Diamond V2000A. When mobile, I run a Standard

My day job is environmental law for the US Air Force at Edwards AFB,

to live on, so for now, I'll keep "protecting the bugs and bunnies"

I received my Novice license on 3/2/79 when I was a junior in high
school. I was interested in electronics and built a low-power CW
transceiver and used it once - my one and only contact to date was with
VE7FWR in Canada (from Tucson, AZ) on 4/30/91 on only 3 watts!  My
career path took me down the road of software development, where I have
been for the past 20 years. I'm now back in school to finish my
computer and electronics degrees that I never finished at Pima
Community College in Tucson. I am also embarking down a new path,
taking machine shop and welding and hope to combine all my skills in
the exciting world of robotics. Perhaps one day I will actually become
active in amateur radio - I keep renewing my license, and upgraded from
Novice to Tech Plus the last time around. Visit my web page to find out

I have been a licensed ham radio operator since 1985.  I received my
Novice ticket after taking an excellent course offered by the
Scottsdale Amateur Radio Club.  I was taught code KA7OHD/SK.  Within a
year I had tested and passed my General exam at the Flagstaff, AZ
Hamfest and still hold a General ticket today.

I became interested in radio after my grandfather (W6GEZ/SK) bought me
a crystal radio/electronics kit for Christmas when I was in high
school.

I am getting back into ham after being away for several years.  The
birth of my two children required that I convert my shack/den into a
nursery.

Now back on the air, I work CW QRP.  I recently purchased an MFJ 9020
QRP CW rig.  It is a compact unit that doesn't take up much space.  It
can also go portable with a 12V battery.  I also have a Kenwood 450S.

Be sure to listen for me on the 20M CW band.

I'm a Morning Radio Perosnality at Rock Station 96.1 KLPX FM in Tucson,
Arizona, and since I make a living by exercising my jawbone in front of
a 100,000 watt microphone every day, you'd think Amateur Radio would be
the LAST thing I'd do for fun, but you'd be wrong!

I frequent the 15 meter novice CW band on occasional weekday afternoons
around 1900 UTC, rare trips to the Novice phone band on ten meters, and
when my neighbors aren't complaining about the antenna I'm on 40
meters.

I really enjoy the challenge of Amateur Radio.  There's nothing more
fun than deciphering a rare CW contact or operating QRP.  Building
antennas is a special challenge.  There are so many aspects to Amateur
Radio, I wonder if it's possible to fully experience and master them
all in a single lifetime.

Some of my areas of interest are Amateur Satellite, Packet, Video,
Microwave, Mysterious Signals and, although it's not RF, Laser.

Greetings from the Cactus Patch of  Tucson, Arizona.

This is a typical Technicians shack.  I've got VHF/UHF voice and VHF
packet up and running.  Packet operation is 24/7 on 145.010MHz.  Hope
to be up on 6 meters soon.  I'm bringing in a Swan-250C (AM/CW/SSB)
rig.  Next goal after that: tackle code!

Accepting any and all hints for 6 meter and mastery of Morse Code.

If you're in the Tucson area, there are 2 good repeaters (2 meter) to
get on for starters, both courtesy of the Tucson Repeater Association
and their membership. There are other fine repeaters, I like to use
these, lots of traffic:

1.  146.880- (no tone) 2.  146.820- (no tone) w/ autopatch: *up/#down.


Also if in Tucson and are a mobile packteer I can be reached at KB7RVL
through the "LMN" node on 145.010 and if I'm not at the keyboard, drop
a line at KB7RVL-1.  My packet station is up all the time.  I enjoy all
QSO's.  Also can help with directions and such.

That's a wrap on my "Bio",

My husband Rick, AB7FH, and I both became hams in 1993. Since then we
have been very active in promoting amateur radio to the general public.
We are both on the board of C.A.R.L. (Center for Amateur Radio
Learning) at the Arizona Science Center. The station W7ASC is located
in the network hall of the Science Center and we have had thousands of
visitors come in to talk on the radio and learn about our hobby. If you
hear W7ASC on the air give us a call and help out with this worthy
project. You can visit W7ASC online at www.w7asc.org .  Through this
project we hope to encourage young people to become amateur radio
operators in the future. We already know of quite a few people who have
earned their license after becoming interested at the W7ASC station.

I am a nice looking man, age 58, 5'11", 170 lbs, divorced, and very
creative. I'm looking for the right female to share my life with.  I
live in a two story cabin in the forest with a wondrous view of the
100-foot waterfall, which can be seen right in front of my home.

Personal Credentials: I can only say that I've been a Police Officer,
and a Deputy Sheriff. I was in the Armed Forces on active duty at Los
Alamitos Naval Air Station, where I served my three-year term in their
Security Division. I've done quite a bit of flying in various light
aircraft, and I have a valid Commercial Pilot license.

I became an Amateur Radio Operator about four years ago, and have made
some very interesting contacts. One of which was "really out of this
world"! Using my 2 meter radio on only 5 watts of power, I made one
unforgettable contact. At precisely 9:49 PM on Wednesday September 12,
1994, I made actual voice contact with one of our US Astronauts, "Susan
Helms", while she was in outer space. She was aboard the Space Shuttle
"Discovery", 283.5 miles into space while orbiting the earth at around
16,000 miles an hour. Needless to say, it was a very exciting moment in
my life.

From my cabin in a remote place in the woods, I was making a few
contacts on my HF radio using a 12-volt car battery. After finishing a
QSO with a guy in Florida, I "received" a call from another guy named
John, which took me by complete surprise. John advised me that he was
the Captain, and was calling me from his Boeing 757 passenger jet. He
further added that he was at an altitude of 37,000 feet and 300 miles
east of Billings Montana. His destination was the state of New Jersey
on the US East Coast. What surprised me was, that I did NOT call him!
Seemingly out of no where, "He" called me from the airliner!

In my trek over the last ten years to share information with the
public, I feel very fortunate to have now accomplished a total of 3
"live" radio talk shows which was on Commercial radio. The last talk
show I did lasted for two hours, was on KFYI in Phoenix Arizona. What
was the subject of my radio broadcast? It was specifically about
extraterrestrial UFO activity, and our secret space technology.

Currently I am engaged in building and flying Radio Control Aircraft.
My newest model is a F4U Corsair, having a wingspan of over 5 and feet.
This plane, a real miniature aircraft, has a size 60 engine and will
fly speeds up to well over 100mph.

The time I spend the most is at my computer, being a Web Master. Below
is only one of my web sites you might find of interest.

Thanks.
