Hi, Gary N2JGU here.  I live in Henrietta NY, which is a suburb to the
south of Rochester.  Together with Brad WB8YGG, I've developed the TiCK
(Tiny CMOS Keyer) line of 8 pin microcontroller-based keyers.  Check
out our website at: http://www.frontiernet.net/~embres


I operate mainly at QRP levels, and primarily with gear I have built
myself.  I probably spend more time with CW than SSB, and usually on
the HF bands.

Bio:
I have been interested in radio since I was given a pocket AM radio at
the age of 12.  Since I wanted to know more, I went to the library and
studied the ARRL Amateur Radio Handbook.  The taste for radio was
whetted!


AM BCB, SWL and scanner listening were to be my mainstays throughout
high school and beyond.  I received my ham license in 1991 after the
FCC announced on my birthday in 1990 that the new Codeless Tech license
would be available in March of 1991.  I had totally forgotten about the
start of the new license class until I just walked in after work in
June 1991 and aced the two written exams.  What helped was reading all
of those ham radio books and magazines for 20 years!

My wife Karen (N2ZYF) was licensed in 1994 after I had been teaching
the Codeless Tech course for two years.  She told me that by just
listening to me talk to others for the previous 14 years of marriage
she realized that she knew about 50% of what was needed to pass the
test.  She passed it on 5/31/94 with 100%!  Now we do alot together on
the radio and even have two of our four daughters studying to get
licensed.

I am the Emergency Coordinator for the ARRL Amateur Radio Emergency
Service in Staten Island, New York City.  I am also the county radio
officer for the Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service through the NYC
Office of Emergency Management.  This year I also took on being the
Skywarn coordinator for Staten Island for the National Weather
Service.


I run a packet/landline BBS for Staten Island.  We operate on 145.770
Mhz as N2NOV-6 for the node and N2NOV-4 for the bbs.  The landline
number is (718) 876-7928.  This is a JNOS BBS that has many message
areas including some internet mailing lists like SCAN-L.


I am the net control of the New York DX Association (NYDXA) SWL &
Scanner Net on 147.360 Mhz (PL 107.2) every Wednesday at 8PM.  This net
has been running since March 1992.  The Net's homepage is
http://www.hili.com/~4runner and follow the link to the NYDXA page.


As a business consultant for people who want to start a business from
home, I am in contact with many people.  This a great way to talk up
ham radio.  Maybe more will join us in this great service/hobby.
Spread the word.  Show how good it can be by being a good example.
Come and participate in any of your local ARES/RACES/SKYWARN groups.
Give something back for all these neat frequencies.

For further info about the SWL & Scanner Net, or anything else, feel
free to call my voicemail at (212) 978-3375 or leave me some e-mail.

ABOUT NJ2DX

I was first licensed as a Novice on October 18, 1988 with the call sign
of KB2GLO.  I became a Technician less than a month later on November
15, 1988. Then a couple of years later on May 22, 1990 I upgraded to
General. I am currently an Advanced class operator and have been such
since October 15th, 1991. One of these days I may upgrade to Extra but
I need to get motivated with studying and using morse code. Any
suggestions are welcomed!

My elmer was Karl Koemm WT2T (formerly KC2WU) who has been a silent key
for many years after a fatal motorcycle accident. I met Karl through
the Holmdel Amateur Radio Club at Bell Laboratories in Holmdel, NJ. He
helped me get my novice ticket and I attended a General class he
presented for the Jersey Shore Amateur Radio Society. Karl was an
excellent mentor and elmer and I strive to follow in his foot steps! If
we don't want bad operators on our bands we must not forget to elmer
the new comers of our hobby!

When the FCC announced the opening of gate 3 of the Vanity call sign
program I could not resist getting a new call and was issued NJ2DX on
September 17th, 1997.


FAVORITE MODES OF OPERATIONS

My favorite mode is SSB on 10 meters maybe this is why I enjoy
collecting all those 10-10 numbers and awards including 10-10
affiliated chapters. However since most of my operating is while mobile
you'll often find me on 2 meter FM simplex and repeaters as well as
some 70 cm repeaters. Recently I've become interested in operating SSB
on the Russian satellites and I've made a couple of mode K contacts via
RS-12 with my modest station. However my most active HF mode lately has
been county hunting. Since most of my operating time is while I'm
mobile I've found the mobile county hunting nets to be alot of fun!

I was born on the 14th December 1942 in a small village in the Province
North-Holland in the Netherlands and married to Maria for over 35
years.

I have been a career officer with the Royal Marechaussee (Royal
Military Police) in the Netherlands, before joining the Netherlands
Ministry of Foreign Affairs.  For the past thirty years we have been
living and working abroad. Our life in the Foreign Service started in
Washington D.C. and from there we were posted in Rome, Accra (Ghana),
New York, Dar es Salaam (Tanzania), Lima (Peru) and Moscow. Since
August 1996 I have been appointed as Consul of the Netherlands in
Melbourne, Australia.  The present assignment consists mainly of Trade
promotion, Cultural Affairs and general Consular Affairs in the States
of Victoria, Tasmania, South- and West-Australia.

One of my hobbies is amateur radio. Living in different countries means
obtaining different license to operate. My valid call signs are
currently NM2R, PA3FLH and VK3FGO.  Other call signs held in the past
are among others 5H3RB, OA4CEV and UA3A/PA3FLH. The three years posting
in Tanzania (5H3) from 1986 to 1989 was most exciting as far as amateur
radio is concerned. Over 30.000 QSO's resulted in thousands of
QSL-cards and quite a number of amateur radio awards. Although being a
"rare DX" was quite fascinating, my XYL considered herself a
"ham-widow" during those years.

Another hobby is music. I have been playing organ and piano since I was
six years old. I did play organ in many churches in the Netherlands and
in quite a few churches during our posting in Washington D.C. In Rome I
had the opportunity to play a few times the beautiful concert organ of
Chiesa di Santa Susanna. All sorts of music have my interest, but
classical music is still my favoured.

AMTOR RTTY PACKET and any other mode he could try. Most of the activity
is focused in the VHF and above spectrum. The NY2US 10GHz beacon is on

Larry.  The interests of NY2US are diverse, and often Larry can be
found operating his base station remotely via a cellular phone. Larry
has interfaced his station to the telephone lines in his home, and has
nearly complete control of the home and station from remote locations.

QSL Information

Although there are plenty of PY stations out there, I'm by no means a
"rare catch". In the spirit of good ethics I reply to all the QSL's I
receive in the mail or by the bureau.

If you wish to QSL by mail I kindly ask to include one IRC coupon, to
cover the return postage, since as a student I'm not affluent enough to
cover mailing expenses out of my pocket.


I wish you a good hamming experience and remain in best 73's.

In 1995, the V26B crew asked me to join them for the CQWW SSB contest.

That year, just after hurricanes destroyed much of the island, we went
there knowing we had lot's of work to do.  We had to build all new
antennas.  We had to put up towers.  I arrived and it was raining.  It
had been raining, and continued to rain for the next 24 hours.  Even
so, we did what we could on the ground.  Antennas were assembled,
feedlines stretched out, hardline connectors installed, and everything
but the towers went together.

That night, we went into St. Johns for pizza - yes, pizza !  And it was
great !  The rum drinks weren't too bad either.

The balance of the crew came the next day and brought more equipment.
As their plane landed, the sun came out and stayed out.  I didn't
realize how much of a blessing the rain was.  The sun in Antigua is
hot!

We got everything working and operated the contest.  We had a great
time.  I have been back in '96, and '97, and plan to go back again in
'98.  Last year, which was 2 years since the big hurricanes hit, the
island has returned to being very beautiful.  The tourists are back and
it's really a very nice spot to relax and enjoy yourself.  As we can,
before and after the contest, we take some time to enjoy the
surroundings.  It's not only a superb contest location.

Covey Hill Amateur Radio Club(CHARC) was first established in late 1993
with 6 members. The club operates a repeater on 2 meters, VE2REX, which
is located on the summit of Covey Hill in the township of Havelock,
Quebec. CHARC offers courses leading to Canadian amateur qualifications
for Basic, 5 wpm, 12 wpm, and Advanced Certificates each year over the
Fall and Winter period. The Club has the mission to advance the hobby
of amateur radio through publicity, training, and emergency
preparedness.

As at 1998 the Club is incorporated and has 85 members. It operates a
swap net weekly on the repeater using call sign VE2CYH. This call sign
is also heard during field days, emergency preparedness exercises and
special events presented by the Club.

Over the past year(97-98), CHARC wrote and presented three successful
field exercises called EMERGEX I, II, and III. These exercises
concentrated on establishing and operating radio networks using
standard voice procedures. CHARC has published 2 handbooks on this
topic. One on Voice Procedures and the other on how to prepare an
EMERGEX.

CHARC is a member of Radio Amateurs du Quebec(RAQI) and is an affiliate
of the Radio Amateurs of Canada(RAC).

You'll LOVE my poem......Man!...it's EVERYWHERE on the WWW!!!!!

GKs Ode To Dah Code  by Gary Spence VE2GK (originally titled "CK's Ode
To Dah Code")

We' ve all heard the cry "abandon the code!, it's useless outdated, NOT
a mod-er-n mode!" So I said to myself,"could codes' day really be
over?  Best left for SKs' fer-til-iz-n' the clover?"

So off went my paddle 'n keyer to a museum, so  those curious of our
"past" could drop in an' see um.  I then bought a computer and a box I
was told...  would update my station,using all hi-tech modes.

It then was set up,all by my own hand...  the screen it lit up et voila
Heard Is-land!  I switched to transmit to" talk with this gent" but my
screen read "sorry, can't copy 100%!"

"There's static,interference if you could hear it you'd agree...  if it
ain't armchair copy we machines cry c'est la vie!" It then said "there
is as YOU know a way to get through, it's called the code,and what luck
for you!"

"You've learned this art,you "stuck it out" 'tis a valuable tool,there
isn't a doubt." "You' ve invested your time,and besides the code you
did learn, possession of valuable skills must be... EARNED!"

So I say to you now don't get fooled when some say...  "Codes an' old
dinosaur fadin' away!" It's part of our past,present and future
existence...  anti-coders prepare for "beaucoup de resistence"

Resident of Port Macquarie NSW (New South Wales) with its temperate

using Tony, VK2DHU's paKet 6.1 program.  (Tony, unfortunately for us up

for and provide some support for his program.  That said, if you
*really* need help with paKet, it is probably better to e-mail me than
send a packet message as I'm pretty lazy about monitoring it.

You will find me through my home page at

suggestions about the home page which is compiled "by hand" using an
antique programmer's editor called EDWIN.  One of these days I will
find a freeware Windoze editor as good; that is, unless I get sick of
using unreliable software and convert to Linux and "X" in a major way.
I'm tempted!

Look at my home page for what I am doing (yes, mostly working I am
afraid!) these days.

To be truthful, you are more likely to catch me on ICQ number 6945856.
This really seems to be the '90s version of A-R (sad, isn't it?).

4 Technical Advancement:  Maintaining two repeaters is a tremendous job
and requires a well trained technical committee. Our team members
monthly discuss via committee reports events that have occurred
regarding the maintenance of the repeaters; they also conduct special
technical sessions and help members build DTF and DVR boards.
Transmitter hunts have been conducted for application purposes.

5 Operating Activities: W2QW has several members who are also members
of NJDXA (KE2CG, W2UDT, WA2C, W2FG, etc.). Each year the club
participates as a 2A or 3A station for the field day contest. Often
experimental antennas are constructed for the event. This event helps
to maintain our technical proficiency and gets everyone involved from
our youngest member to our eldest.

6 Miscellaneous Activities: W2QW conducts a Hamfest in June of every
year. This is one of the most popular hamfest in central New jersey.
During the hamfest we provide field checking for DXCC, always provide
for a league table for information dissemination. W2QW, in addition to
supporting the two repeaters, also support and maintains a BBS and a DX
Cluster Node (W2EMU and KE2CG). Finally, we have as aforementioned,

Bio:
I remember being interested in Radios when I was eight years old. I
used to open up transistor radios and "Fix" them! I also enjoyed
listening to distant stations on the AM Broadcast band. I bought my
first real 'worldwide' radio when I was about fifteen. It was a Radio
Shack DX-100 analog shortwave reciever, and I still use it! I had a CB
way back when the first "Craze" was happening in about 1975.I wish I
still had that one! It was a Channel Master 23 Channel mobile. I
remember being awed by being able to talk 'Skip'.  Surprisingly though
I did'nt get my ticket till I was 27 years old, probably becuase no one
close to me was a Ham so I had no real knowledge of the hobby. I just
found my own way in through the usual path. I was licensed in February
of 1995 as a Tech No-Code with the call KB2TMA. I soon upgraded to
Tech-Plus and was impressed with the possibilities of Ten meters and
the CW portion of the Low Bands. I practiced hard and passed my general
in October of 1996. After much studying I passed my Adv I enjoy all
aspects of the hobby, and I look forward to trying different bands and
modes as time goes on. The greatness of our hobby is that there is
always something new to try...always some new mode or band or project.
My favorite bands are 10 and 6, and I also enjoy 2 meters.  I enjoy
mobile and portable work, and especially enjoy combining my other
favorite passtime, Boating, with Ham Radio. I like to build antennas
and am interested in learning as much about them as I can in the
future. I also enjoy reading, music and movies and I try to do an equal
amount of everything I enjoy and not spend too much time on one thing.
Sometimes I won't even turn on a rig for weeks! But I always come back
to this great service known as Amateur Radio.  Thanks for reading my
little Bio and I hope to catch you on the bands! 73 de W2TMA

June, 1998

I was first licensed in 1960 as WV2KBU in Brooklyn NY at the age of 14.
Operating from my small room in a Brooklyn tenement and using a 40M
dipole, I was able to work many states both on 40 and 15 meter CW. The
same year, after many contacts on CW and bringing my code speed up, I
passed my General Class test. I was now able to use 'phone' and was
elated at the SSB contacts I made throughout the world. After entering
the work force in mid 1960's I landed a job with NY Telephone Co. as an
Installer/Repairman in Manhattan. Somewhat later I joined the US Marine
Corps and, upon completion of my tour of duty, I rejoined the telephone
company. My sweetheart, Sallie, and I were married in 1967 and moved to
Suffolk County NY in 1968. I was fortunate to continue my education and
attend the local university and at this time I was able to to
reconstruct my ham station. While I was involved attending school, I
was offered a position from Xerox Corp. as a copier technician. Working
for Xerox and attending class kept me bu

The year 1970 brought two wonderful surprises for Sallie and me. Our
first child Elisa was born in January and then our second, Robert, was
born in November. With two little ones running around there wasn't much
time for hamming although I was able to finally build some new gear
(Heathhkit twins)and install my first tower with a triband beam and
upgrade my ticket to Advanced. 1975 brought our third child Jeanne and
even less time for hamming as money was tight and overtime was plenty.

In 1979 I was promoted to trainer and transferred to the Xerox Training
Center in Leesburg, VA. We took up residence in nearby Charles Town, WV
and went on with the Godly process of raising our three children. The
year 1980 saw me and my family dedicate our lives to Jesus Christ, our
Lord and Savior. This marked a profound change in our lives and
continues to this day. Since God, family and church took center stage
in our lives, the only hamming I was able to do was operate on 2
meters.

Since then the children have grown, left the nest and have lives of
their own. Sallie and I still dedicate time to our church and our
commitment to the Lord but now have a bit more time on our hands. We
have and continue to travel internationally as well as do some green
thumbing and pursue other hobbies. I'm now able to spend a bit more
time with "King" of hobbies and have recently started construction of a
new HF and VHF station in Summit Point, WV and have upgraded my ticket
to Extra.

Well that's about it, hope to meet you one day, 'down the log'.

I was first licensed on 7-10-97 as N3ZSN Technician.  I continued to
take my theory exams thru advanced class.  On 2-14-98, I passed my 13
wpm code exam and earned my advanced class ticket.  My advanced call
was KF3AZ. I then studied and passed my extra class theory.  On 4-4-98
I took my 20wpm code test and passed thus earning my extra class
ticket.  Due to an error my  call was then changed to KF3BM.  I then
submitted a new 610 and received my current call sign of AA3RC.

My station is a Kenwood TS-870-S into a GAP Titan DX vertical up 12
feet.  I also use a double bazooka for 40 Meters this antenna is up
approx. 25 Feet.  I also enjoy 2 Meters on my Kenwood TM-7VA dual band
tranceiver.  I use this as a base station into a Ringo deluxe up 20
feet.  I enjoy CW and usually am on 40M and 20M bands.

My other interests include: Flower gardening, Vegetable gardening, salt
water reef aquarium keeping and reading.

I am married with two daughters, one step daughter, and two step sons.

Yes, I finally upgraded my Novice License after 22 years! Formerly
WB3BBT (and KB3CFZ for a short time) I am a QRPer at heart and a lover
of old tube gear. I use a National NC-190 with my DX-60B and DX-40 for
nostalgia, and an FT-101E as a backup to my TS-440S.

I also re-installed my HR-2600 in the car, now that 10m is opening up
again. It looked like new under all that dust! For QRP I use my trusty
HW-9 and my battery of beloved Milliwatters.

I ran a small business for a few years marketing my favorite creation,
the MILLIWATTER, a three-watt QRP transmitter kit.

I have just joined the Mid-Atlantic ARC, so look for me on the 147.06
or 145.13 repeaters when you're in town. If you like old radios, or are
a QRPer, it would be nice to hear from you on the air, or via email.

K3AA is the club station of the National Institute of Standards and
Technology, formally  The National Bureau of Standards. The club,
NIST-BRASS (Bureau Radio Amateur Signal Society), was formed in Feb.
1981. Karl Tseigg SK was the original holder of K3AA and a charter
member of the club. The present station was dedicated in Nov. 1983. In
attendance were Dr. Ernest Ambler director of NBS, Victor Clark W4KFC
President ARRL and Hugh Turnbull W3ABC Director Atlantic Division ARRL
among others. The club is an active contest and special event station.
The President WD3A may be reached at thomas.buckley@nist.gov,
Sec/Treasurer W8ZA at robert.biss@nist.gov and the Trustee K4CGY at
james.owen@nist.gov. All QSL's should go to the Trustee K4CGY.
Currently the antenna site consists of two Rohn 25 towers, one at 80
feet with a Hygain TH6-DXX, the other at 60 feet with a KLM 3 Ele 40
meter beam.  There are numerous wire antennas that are used on other
bands. Elevation is about 420 feet ASL.

Russ' first license was issued by the FCC in July, 1937; the call sign
at that time was W3HAC and the QTH was Pottstown, Pa.

After active duty in the U. S. Navy (from the USNR) from April, 1941 to
November, 1945, Russ enlisted again in the USNR in 1946.  During a
second call-up to active duty, Russ modified his license to KG6HU and
operated on Guam for about 8 months in 1950-51.  Being DX instead of
chasing DX is a rewarding experience!

Upon expiration of this license and a short lapse of time Russ
re-examined and was issued his present call with Extra Class
endorsement in June, 1957.

Russ aspires to 5-band DXCC; he needs 12 more cards to do this.

After 61 years ham radio is still a great hobby!

Communications & Electronics working with system Design, product
improvement, and customer relations for the past 25 years.

In 1973 I helped Motorola implement the worlds first Mobile 2-way Data

communications was the culmination of my love of electronics expressed
by the marriage of radio and computers. Were still doing that! My
computers look similar to my radios in that they seldom have a case on
them. That would be like trying to work on a car with the hood down.

I am active on VHF, UHF, HF (SSB) mobile and fixed. My interests

Bio:
At the age of fourteen, I was first licensed as WN3JGY and have been an
active amateur radio amateur ever since.  After upgrading to WA3JGY, I
held that call until the first "vanity" callsign program of the FCC in
1976 when I upgraded to Extra class and became K3JT. My interests have
always been CW operating, chasing DX and contesting.  Along with that
comes an interest in homebrew antennas and fixing old radios (a
necessity for me to stay on the air it seems!).

More recently, I have developed a fascination with operating DX on the
160 Meter Band. The thrill of making long distance contacts on
frequencies below the AM broadcast band continues to fascinate me. I
have 73 countries confirmed on 160 now and hope to make more progress
towards 160 DXCC.

My station is modest (outdated!). I have an old FT902DM transceiver,
with an even older FT101B that was my main rig until 1991.  At a
hamfest in Augusta, GA a few years ago, I picked up a Dentron
Clipperton L amplifier (using four 572B tubes) that I am still in the
process of rebuilding and upgrading.  I also have a very old Heathkit
HA-10, Warrior Amplifier that uses four 811A tubes. I picked up a
Collins 75A4 receiver with all the mechanical filters that I love. For
VHF, I have a transverter for use with the FT902DM that covers 6
meters, 2 meters and 432 Mhz bands on CW and SSB.  I'm also on 2 meter
FM with a HT and mobile rig.

The antenna situation is constantly changing.  I am now working on a
Quad that will cover 5 bands from 20 meters to 10 meters (including the
17 and 12 meter WARC bands). There will be 3 elements on 20, 15 and 17
meters and 4 or maybe even 5 elements on the 12 and 10 meter bands when
it is finished. On 40 meters I have a full wave loop antenna that seems
to work well. For 80 and 160 meters, I have a horizontal vee antenna
with each leg about 235 feet long, supported about 60 feet high by
trees. I use homebrew L networks for tuning this wire antenna and it
seems to perform well.

I have made many friends through amateur radio.  Wherever I have lived,
amateur radio has always provided an opportunity to meet people with a
common interest. I am very grateful to the hobby because of this and
try to return something to make it better.  I participate as a
volunteer examiner with the Monongalia Wireless Association in
administering FCC exams. I try to recruit new amateurs whenever the
opportunity presents itself. My son, W8TSW, is tech plus and I enjoy
talking to him on the air.  Please look for me on the air, mostly on
CW, but with some SSB operation, in contests or otherwise. I always
enjoy making contacts and talking with anyone interested in this great
hobby of ours. 73.

I worked a long time in the Installation Engineering field doing
Electrical Drafting/Design/Project Management for mostly steel mill

First licensed in 1963 as KN3YGU, I spent my novice year on 40m CW
working on WAS. I developed an interest in DXing and homebrewing early
on. During my first years as a general class op, K3YGU accumulated
about 150 DXCC countries. School and work kept my activity fairly low
for a while, but I did manage to stay active. I earned my extra class
ticket in 1977, choosing to keep my old call. From about 1979-83 I
enjoyed mobile CW DXing, adding a new country from time to time.

The move to my present QTH in 1986 made it possible to have some decent
antennas. I put up a 120 ft. tower in 87, probably the best money I
ever spent on myself. It has been a lot of fun! During the following
decade, I managed to earn 5BDXCC, 160DXCC, and Honor Roll.  I started
DXing on the WARC bands in 94. That has helped keep the hobby
interesting since I still need a lot of countries on 30, 17, and 12m. I
enjoy participating in the Toplist award, which tracks 9-band HF DX
statistics.

Because K3YGU has been a difficult call for DXing, I got my new call
K3KY under the vanity calls program in 96. It certainly makes life a
lot easier in day-to-day DXing. I work all bands 160-10m, CW and phone,
and will probably be getting on RTTY soon. I am a member of Potomac
Valley Radio Club (PVRC,) and get on during the major DX contests to
give the guys a few points and work a few new band- countries.

Bio:
I've been interested in electronics since a young lad. I was drawn to
radio at first through listening to the "big" sound of AM radio (New
York City's WNEW was a favorite).  I then began building simple radios
such as "crystal sets" and various bread boarded (on *real* bread
boards!) electronic circuits.

This building led me to my first shortwave encounter--a Knight Kit Star
Roamer.  After that construction experience and my father's
encouragement, I began tuning the bands.  I snail-mailed reports for
QSL cards and program guides; then the "ham radio bug" bit me!

I obtained my Novice Class license in 1968 and have recently upgraded
to Extra Class. I still enjoy "tuning the bands" be it AM broadcast,
shortwaves or "conventional" hamming.

Ham radio has presented a number of exciting opportunities for me as
well.  During the mid 1980's I became involved with my local area's
RACES (Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service).  At this time I lived in
New Jersey (hence my "vanity" call).  I advanced through the ranks to
become a "county" RACES Radio Officer, during which time I helped
coordinate the response efforts of ham radio operators during the
impact of Hurricane Gloria along the shore.

Ham radio has also helped me improve my technical skill in both the
operation and maintenance of radio-electronic equipment.  I am very
thankful for these experiences which have led to a successful career
for me in broadcast radio.

At this writing, I am a resident in the state of Maryland.  My wife
(XYL) became licensed a couple years ago (after 20 years of marriage I
guess she thought it better to "give in") and enjoys collecting Ten-Ten
numbers (besides talking to me).  Her callsign is KB3BPN.

We also have two college bound children, but unfortunately; have no
present interest in hamdom (well everyone *is* different).

Hello DXers and Contesters:

Where to start?  Well, I've been around radio for 30-some years.  I've
held a number of DX callsigns, most recently 7Z5OO and PJ5AA.  As of
this entry (8/98), I am now in the USA.  It's good to be back home!
Prior to this, I spent four years in Saudi Arabia (1994-1998) and
worked 114,129 contacts.  My QSL route for all operations is via N2AU.
I usually go down to PJ5AA once or twice a year for contests, to
upgrade the station or just to hang out with Dave Shaw--the real
PJ5AA.  I am in the education business and hold several Master's
degrees and a Doctorate from Harvard.  My field is international
education (schooling) but I have done a fair amount of educational
research and non-schooling educational work.  I spent 10 years living
and working in Venezuela.  I was 4M4A and 4M5V in contests in those
days.  I also headed up a group that carried out the first joint
operation with Russian hams (1990) operating as US1A.  I am the former
trustee of the Harvard Wireless Club (W1AF) and still retain my

I was born on May 24, 1945 and was first licensed as KN3WWP in April of
1963. I upgraded to General in the fall of 1963, and to Extra when
there was reason to do so when incentive licensing came along in 1968.
From 1963 to 1973 I spent most of my hamming in county hunting,
contesting, and rag chewing. In 1966 I co-founded the CW County Hunters
Net. The story of the creation of the net is in the county hunting
section of my web site.  I started work at WPIT in Pittsburgh in 1969,
and continued working there until 1993. That cut down on my hamming,
keeping me off the air entirely for several years.  I was able to get
in some hamming from 1981 to 1983. I continued my county hunting, rag
chewing, and contesting. It was then that the 30 meter band became
available to amateurs. It quickly became one of my favorites and
remains so today.  In the early part of 1993, WPIT was sold, and all
the employees were released. I decided to semi-retire. About that time,
my friend Eric (who is now KB3BFQ) wanted to know all about ham radio,
and we put my station back together and I got on the air again. I have
been very active since then, concentrating on contests, awards, rag
chewing, and DXing. I've now had at least one QRP QSO each day for over
1400 consecutive days. I've had nearly 20,000 QSO's (all CW with 'pure'
QRP) since I returned to the air in 1993, making a total of almost
40,000 QSO's (all but about 5 on CW) since 1963.  I belong to the
following amateur radio organizations: A-1 OP, ARS, AK QRP, ARRL, AWA,
FISTS, NJ QRP, NorCal QRP, OTC, QRP ARCI, RCC, 10-10. I hold the
following awards and endorsements: WAS (QRP CW 40M), WAC (QRP CW), DXCC
(CW), USA-CA 1500 (CW), WPX (CW 160M 80M 40M NA HONOR-ROLL). I hold the
following code proficiency certificates: ARRL CP-35, SOWP-40 WPM.  In
addition to hamming, I like fishing, watching Winston Cup auto racing,
computing, astronomy, meteorology, and hiking.  I hope you'll visit my
web site and learn more about CW and QRP operation on the bands.

Hello guys! What's up? Hi,Hi.  Well let me tell you a little about my
self.  I've been a ham for 4 1/2 years now and I upgraded to an Extra
with in two years.Just taking my time.I started at five words per
minute on my first test and passed it the second time around.I then
started to study for my Tech-plus,witch I pass with flying colors.I
still wanted more,listing up on the HF bands like 40,75,160 and hearing
all the hams around the world was great, and I knew I had to upgrade
even more if I wanted to talk to these hams across america on phone.So
fare as a tech-plus I enjoyed the cw-mode of 15,40,80,10 meters.  I
have made alot of friends there.I even got involed in the MSM
Maryland-slow-net for novices and cw operators of all class.I finish my
MSN and now I new how to send telegraph messages.I really felt good,so
good the my speed on cw move up to a faster speed.So I went to take my
13 words a minute and passed if on the first try.So I study for my
general written,I passed it also.Now I had phone.I would listen to the
ham and have a great time talking and finding new ways to make better
antenna an radios.Still I had to upgrade even more I passed my
Advance,then the Extra code then the Extra written.  Know I was at the
top.I could go any where on the ham bands an chat too evey one.I have
learn so much just talking to other hams with reading about books on
building antenna,tower,mods,modes
computers,coax,feedline,connectors,and much,much more.I love the hobby
and the people involed.I would like to see alot more people getting
involed in the hobby!I hope that this help you out in understanding me
little better.I also just started the first Amateur Radio Club in Shady
Side,MD "KB3CVE" and we are looking for members.  I'm the trustee and
have over 20-members so fare.If you like you can look it up in QRZ.COM
CD-callbook.This is so cool!I forgot to tell you about the packet radio
I learned and worm-holes threw the internet threw ham radio,RTTY,SLOW
SCANE T.V ,Satelite,exc...  I could remember the times I was listing
inn on the Extra class frequncies and could'nt talk because I was just
an advance then and I was the only one there listing to rare DX For a
couple of minutes way before any one else show up to work'em.Man that
was so exciting too hear that an be the only one there before any one
else heard him.This is another reason I upgraded to Amateur Extra
Class.20 meter is a real nice band also and I found this to be even
better to 10-meters.Working the DX on 20 was great and I got into
contesting and won a couple all bye my self.Well God Bless es 73 Ed

My name is listed with FCC as James R. but I don't go by Jim. Rather, I
go by my middle name, Richard or Dick. I was born in 1937 and have been
an amateur since 1978. My home QTH is just a few miles from the
Chesapeake Bay, where my 25 year old son and I spend every available
moment, searching for that record Stripped Bass. Our largest so far
this year has been my son's catch at 42". My YL, Judy and I also enjoy
gardening and the flowers which we take care of both at home and at our
church. We have been married 35 years this coming 9/28/98 and have
another son, Michael who is 24.

Our only daughter, Amy is married to Ken Schisler, a member of the
Maryland General Assembly and living with them is the greatest grand
daughter in the world, Rebecca.... Amy and Ken are expecting to present
Rebecca with a playmate in March of '99, but don't know yet if it will
be a boy or girl.

My rig is a Kenwood with a Mosley TA33 about 55 feet. I spend most of
my time on the YL System on 14.332 where I am a daily control and the
PR Rep for the System. My control duties are usually in the evenings
and I invite you to check in with me sometime. When not on the rig, I
am working at a local ACE Home Center, where I have been the Lawn and
Garden Manager since retiring in 1992.

I learned CW in the 50's in the USAF and spent 2 1/2 years at Misawa
AFB in Northern Japan where we had two seasons, winter and August. It
seemed like it snowed "horizontally" every day. Constant snow and
constant winds. I was assigned to the 6989th Radio Squadron Mobile, and
6921st Radio Group Mobile. Our site was often referred to as "1st
Radio." I would like very much to talk with other hams who were
stationed there.

As mentioned previously, I am very active on the YL System which has
nearly 16,000 members in nearly 200 countries. Information about the YL
System can be found on the internet at:

My radio background goes back to the late 50's when I spent a great
deal of time listening to Short Wave Broadcast stations. Following High
School I enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard in 1962 and enjoyed ten years
as a radioman in such places as South Florida, Washington, D.C. and
Honolulu, Hawaii. I suppose I missed working CW so much that I finally
got my Novice ticket in the fall of 1989. My very first contact was a
DX station and I've been hunting DX ever since. Since up-grading to
General I have added island hunting as one of my major interests.

My equipment is rather modest; a Kenwood TS-850/AT barefoot to an
indoor trap-dipole antenna up in my attic. Yes, I am a victim of
antenna restrictions but have managed to do rather well over the years,
amassing over 250 DXCC countries, 370 IOTA islands and 500
U.S.islands.  I also do quite a bit of island activating here on the
East Coast for both IOTA and US-I. For my island trips, I take along my
Kenwood TS-50S/AT and Hustler antenna system. This arrangement works
very well as a mobile set-up, allowing me to make island contacts from
as far away as Australia, South Africa and parts of Asia. To date, I
have activated over 35 islands ranging from Massachusetts to Virginia.

I am also an avid Sprint Car racing fan, frequenting several Central
Pennsylvania dirt tracks during the summer season. A Rhode Island
native, I now reside in Maryland, just west of the capital city of
Annapolis. I am employed with Lockheed-Martin at the Goddard Space

I have been married to John, "K3NJ" (formerly WA2GIE) for over 24
years.  During the first few years of marriage I found out what "ham
radio" was all about--antennas were strung across the walls of our
first "home"--a garden apartment.  I also awoke many early mornings to
the familar sound of my husband's voice calling "CQ, CQ, CQ . . . "

When asked the question that every married ham asks--"When are you
getting your amateur radio license?"--I would respond that I'd never be
able to learn all that technical stuff, worst of all; those dits and
dahs!

Years went by and a few hamfests were attended.  One day John caught
sight of a deal he could not refuse.  He bought two dual-band mobile
radios (VHF/UHF).  That question was asked again--when would I "get" my
ham license?

That did it!  I thought maybe I ought to learn; especially with the
prospect of my car becoming equipped with a ham radio.  Maybe I should
know how to use it.

Within a few days I was reading Gordon West's Novice Study Guide.  To
my own amazement the material was not really that difficult.  A lot of
it seemed to be common sense for me.  To think that I had waited all
those years!  Learning the Morse Code was certainly not the easiest
part though.

After many weeks of practice using prepared tapes, I was still finding
it difficult.  I started listening to W1AW code practice on 80 meters.
John had also come across a computer generated code practice called
"Super Morse" he was using to improve his code speed for the Extra he
was working toward.  This helped me a great deal too.  By the end of
the week John suggested I take an exam with a local Volunteer Exam
group, at least "for the experience."  I felt a slim chance at passing
the code, but was surprised to have actually passed!

After that, there was no stopping me.  In a short time I upgraded to
Tech-Plus and recently General Class.  I'm studying for my Advanced
now.

Its my hope that some of the "ham" wives will read of my adventure here
and perhaps will also give ham radio a try.  I've had so much fun and
enjoyed the radio hobby very much the last few years.

My favorite band is still ten meters.  I am an active Ten-Ten member
and chase fish and boats with the Chesapeake Bay group.  I am also
active with the Springbok and White House groups.

Greetings fellow amateur radio ensthusiasts, my name is Robert "J.R."
Smullen.  I have been interested in radio and electronics for ages, but
only recently became a licensed ham radio operator.  When I was only 13
years old, I developed a keen interest in radio and was heavily into
unlicensed CB (less than 100 mw) and SWL.  I built an old Hallicrafters
coil receiver with some help from an equally interested uncle.  I
upgraded sometime later to a beautiful used National receiver.  I don't
remember the model number, but I remember it being absolutely massive
in both size and weight.  I would climb up into our unheated/uncooled
attic and listen to far away lands for hours and hours on end.
Wouldn't I love to have that National today.

Those early days no doubt formed the basis for rest of my life.  After
high school I went to work for the Navy as a civilian in an electrical
engineering work-study program in 1967.  Five years later I graduated
from the University of Maryland with a BSEE.  A few years later I went
back and earned an MSEE, specializing in computers and simulation
technology.

Today I lead a team of wonderful engineers and scientists at one of the
Navy's premier simulation facilities.  We build and operate
state-of-the-art aircraft simulators to support the research,
development, test and evaluation of Navy aircraft and weapons systems.
As some of my friends like to say, its amazing that they actually pay
us to do this stuff.  Five hundred million dollars worth of the neatest
adult toys in the world today.

Six or so years away from retirement, life is coming full circle.  My
new-found ham licence and radio toys once again keep me up at all
hours, only this time "talking" to far away lands.  I couldn't have
created a better hobby, if I had tried.

I musn't forget to say some good words about my better-half here also.
Peggy and I have been married for over 13 years now.  She is a very
tolerant soul and gives me much more lattitude with my toys than I
deserve.  Not many women would stand for some of the antennas I have
over the roof of our home.  But I do know a good thing when I see one
and try very hard to not over do it :))

Well it's time to go.  If you feel the need, give me a yell on e-mail.
I check it regularly.  If you hear me on the bands... don't hesitate to
drop in.  I've got a lot of years of missed radio opportunities to make
up for here.  Give me a hand...

Cheers & 73s J.R. Smullen

Hello, everyone.  My name is Scott.  I was born in 1979, and currently
live in Overlea, Maryland.  How I got into ham radio is an interesting
story.  I remember watching a Mr. Wizard show when I was about 11 or
so.  One of the 30 second information spots was about ham radio.  It
was about a kid who was maybe 13 who held an extra class license.  He
went into what amateur radio is all about, the different license
classes, and how much fun it really is.  After I saw that spot, I
forgot about it.  That is, until my neighbor right across the street,
Frank (KB3AHE) got his ticket in '92.  He had a 220 HT and I spent a
few nights sitting on his front porch listening to a few hams
rag-chewing on a local repeater.  I was amazed.  Then I started going
to middle school, and I was immediately more concerned with making it
home in one piece and turning in some semblance of homework for the
next day.  I forgot about Frank and amateur radio until the summer of
1997.

I graduated high school in May of 1997.  I decided in November of that
year that I really wanted to get into amateur radio.  I was working for
RadioShack at the time, and my store manager knew another manager who
had a ham ticket.  That's Jerry, N3VBJ.  So I went over to Jerry's
store one day, and he helped me to set up my testing date and time.  I
passed the tests on one brisk January 17th.  I wasn't exactly thrilled
with the scores...  91 percent on the novice portion, and 90 percent on
the technican. I was really aiming for 100 percent on both, but I'll
take what I can get *grin*.  At any rate, since then I have been
talking to Frank, my knowledge of radios, technology, and electronics
has grown almost exponentially since January.

To all of the members of the First Amendment Radio Transmitting
Society, I thank you.

You can find N3BNA in most any HF contest, and as part of various other
contest groups.  When not on a dxpedition, or as part of any number of
group operations, I can usually be found operating in the multi-op
category, in order to encourage other future contesters. So if my voice
sounds young and squeaky, or the code a bit uncertain, please have
patience (it could be me and I need the help).

I love travel and DX, and have been fortunate to operate from many
countries, leaving behind both friends and morse code key or paddles.
This past November I operated as both ZP0Z and ZP5/N3BNA and also as
LU/N3BNA from "el fin del mundo" in Tierra del Fuego. I had a very
special time in Asuncion, and the boys at Radio Club Ushuaia were among
the friendliest that I have ever met.  The previous November I had the
opportunity to return to Africa (I lived in 9Q5-land for 5 years) and
operate from the home of Paul/5X4F, one of the nicest and most patient
men on earth. We operated from the NW corner of Uganda on the border of
Zaire and Southern Sudan. At that time Kavimba's armies were very
active in the area, and many foreignors had to leave. It was a
memorable trip.

I have also operated as XE1ISE and later XE1SLE, HH2ld,9Q5/N3BNA,
LZ/N3BNA (one of my favorite trips) and of course from V26B where I was
one of the "founding fathers", and still return when not further
afield. I operate outside the contest (when not climbing the wonderful
set of towers) as V26A. Hope to find you in one of my future logs!

73 and DX,

Pat Freeman first explored the world of Amateur Radio at 14 years old.
Working CW on 40 and 80 meters, he enjoyed taking his time, tapping out
every character.  He enjoyed working DX on 10 meter USB, when cycle 22
was still alive and well.  But, this was only the beginning.

Pat traded that Novice class license in, and worked his way up to Extra
Class in 2 years.  With Extra privileges under his belt, he enjoyed
pounding out the CW with the best of them in the Extra sub bands.  He
traded his old Heathkit SB-102 in for a Kenwood TS-140, which nicely
fit between the seats of his little Chevette, his first car.  With a
3-magnet-mount base attached to the top of the car, he could put any
size whip he wanted on that car and work the world.  Sending CW and
shifting was more challenging than he thought!

But, Pat didn't know that CW would get him far.  When he enlisted in
the US Army, straight out of high school, he came across a test proctor
who overheard Pat say that he knew Morse Code.  Pat was quickly scooped
up and sent for Morse 'training' at Ft. Devens, Mass.  The rest of his
tour was spent at Ft. Meade, MD, keeping an keen ear on the non-ham
bands.  But, Army barracks didn't allow antennas, so Pat sold all his
equipment and became inactive.  But, while listening to the code, he
increased his copy to 36 words per minute - copying by keyboard, of
course.

5 years later, Pat decides to come back around.  Buying a Kenwood
TS-520 at a hamfest, he quickly strung a long wire antenna from his
living room to his bedroom.  Working CW on 40 was not like it was back
in the late 80's - it's a lot more fun!

Pat hopes to hear your CQ soon!

My primary reason for becoming an amateur radio operator was to be able
to have a way to communicate from a bicycle.  Within two days of
becoming licensed that became my secondary reason, when I became aware
of the many opportunities to be of service at events such as the
Pittsburgh Marathon (I am bicycle mobile as wheelchair racer sweep),
the Thrift Drug Classic (a defunct professional bicycle race), and
other events.

The next major event in my life will be a world bicycle tour.  You can
read about it at the website my son made for me linked to his website
with this URL:  http://www.porterfield.net/habitat which will have to
be changed in January 1999 because fees for the trip are due then.  The
local Habitat for Humanity chapter has agreed to set aside for my trip
fee a reasonable administrative expense for the money I collect for
them.  You can help!

I'm a slow but steady cyclist.  In the 1998 MS 150 ride I finished in
the last dozen or so riders, partly because I had stopped so many times
to radio for a sag to pick up tired riders and some with mechanical
problems.  Even though I was the oldest rider, I pedaled up every hill,
passing lots of riders who were walking.  Usually on a long ride I'm
among the last cyclists.  That's OK with me, because my goal is to
finish the ride.

I'm not going to bore anybody with my life story or my educational
background.  Suffice it to say that I've had a lot of jobs, have no
retirement funds from any of them except my Social Security equity, and
still work part time as a school bus driver.  Life has been good to me
most of the time, and I hope to stay healthy enough to be riding a
bicycle for the next 20 years.

Hello , I grew up in Collingdale, Pennsylvania . I was born in 1953.
My wife Mickey and I still live in Pennsylvania . We have two children
Kate & Ed . Both are now adults. We were married in 1972 .

My main hobbies include riding dirt bikes, restoring vintage dirt bikes
and of course ham radio. I also enjoy my sons hobby which is building
street rods.

I am an advid motorcycle fan and have been riding/racing since I was 16
years old. My racing is confined to the dirt aspect, enduros and hare
scrambles.

On some of our free time my wife and I enjoy going to ham fest and
collecting various stuff that we find. I like to call it renting other
people's junk.

Some of my equipment that I use , Yeasu ft-990, Tempo-1, Swan 500c ,
Swan 250 and in my truck i use a Kenwood ts-120. the Swan 250 is my
favorite. I really enjoy operating on 6 meters.

Some of the radio groups i am a member of are //

Costal Carolina Emergency Net:  Mid- Atlantic Amateur Radio Club:
American Radio Relay League:  The Sand Crab Club #0019 on ten meters:

Also W5YI and No Code International My NCI # is 1598. I Love operating
with morse code,90% of my  operating time is using morse code, but do
not belive it needs to  be a requirement for licensing. I hope that the
FCC will drop it as a requirement.

Richard Lee Pursley (Dick)

My first license was obtained in 1978 (KA3CNX).  I have averaged 4
contacts per day since then.

I am mostly a CW operator but I do like to work ten meter phone when
the band is open.

I have three children.  Jessica was born in 1968.  Michael was born in
1982.  Marty was born in 1985.

My wife, Julie was born.

My hobbies are tennis, photography, collecting old baseball cards,
computers, and, of course, ham radio.

My primary rig is a Yaesu FT 900.  I use an old Wilson System 36 for
10, 15, and 20 meters.  For the Warc bands I use a Cushcraft AS3W.  I
also use a Carolina Windom for 40 and 80 meters.

I am a retired high school teacher.  I taught Accounting, Math, Typing,
and Computers for 26 years.  My wife still teaches English.


Operating Frequencies that I try to use:  28.467* 21.010* 18.081*
14.010* 10.110

I also love QRP.  I use a HW-9.  My biggest QRP thrill was working
several European stations on 28.060 with a little rig called a
Fireball.  The output was 10 m.watts.  I also have received s9 reports
with 10 m.watts from Texas and California

First licensed at 15 in 1984 as KA3NJI.  Went to the IBM ARC's Novice
license class, didn't make a single contact for over 18 months, and
then graduated from High School, at which point I had "summer on the
air."  I have been a frequent operator of W3EAX, the U of MD club
station, and I work only a few miles from campus and thus, even though
I got my BSEE in 1990, still operate from there occasionally.

I'm heavy into QRP and enjoy QRQ CW, although I fall apart at about 50
wpm (receiving).  I do most of my operating while mobile - yes, mobile
CW.  I'm just wired for it, and fortunately, so now is my car.

I've been an active Volunteer Examiner since 1987 and have tested well
over 1,500 people, including being the head VE at the U of MD testing
sessions for eight years, giving monthly examinations.

So anyway, I've got enough confirmed for DXCC phone and CW, plus WAS,
WAC, and a few others.  While I've worked literally a thousand Qs
mobile, all over the world, I'd really like to snag a VK6, VK0, 8Q,
4S7, YB or something equally DX, while QRP/CW/mobile, one of these
moons.  A good CW ragchew is also rarely turned down.

Greetings.  I have visited Mongolia,  Australia,  Africa, Central and
South America, and Europe.  I have been to Siberia in the winter and
Alaska in the summer. In fact all fifty states  many times  by two way
HF radio contacts.  Its been great.  You and  I belong to a
self-policed fraternity of an elite group privileged to transmit radio
signals to places with out regard to political or geographical
boundaries.  We as amateur radio operators should respect this
privilege.

First licensed as WB3JCW in Gibsonia, PA  I worked as a telephone
installer for the local phone company.  In the early 80s I moved to
Champaign, IL were I operated portable 9.  I was transferred to Cedar
Rapids, IA were I upgraded to Advanced class and was issued KE0GF.  For
the past decade plus, residing near Baltimore, MD Ive held KC3YP and
since 1988 been signing my call as NS3X.  My employment has always been
in the telecommunications field. Today I am employed by the Baltimore
Gas and Electric Company as a Telecommunications Analyst. Other
interests include honeybee beekeeping, woodcarving Santas, and a
certified Field Video Producer for Cable Television.  As an evening
student at the Villa Julie College, Stevenson, MD as a  Business
Information Systems Major,  my time management skills are in constant
use at work and in play.

My HF station consists of a Kenwood TS-520S, TS-530S, and a TS-450S.
My three element yagi antenna and an 80 meter horizontal loop antenna
populate my  acre lot.  I can be found using  SSB, FM (29.6 MHz),
MORSE, AMTOR, PACTOR,  PACKET or BAUDOT.  When I Use the ASCII mode,
hardly anyone ever answers me but it sounds really cool.

Being  licensed since August of 1977 (my senior year in high school),
I have enjoyed this hobby  as a Net Control Station for the National
Traffic System, ARRL VE, Dxer, rag chewer, contester , and  member of
the United States Army MARS program. Thanks to you, I have and will
continue to enjoy this hobby as together we keep our bands of
frequencies interference free to and courteous of others.

Hi there !!

I'm a Dutchman living in ISTANBUL, Turkey.  When I was still living in
Holland, I had a really nice shack (PA3BKL), with loads of antenna's
connected to it.  We were living on 3500 square meters of land, so that
was a great place to set up long-wires and inverted Vee's.

How different is my situation here in Istanbul:  Living in quite big
appartment, but on the SECOND floor (of a three storey building), so no
chance to put things on the roof easily.

So, apart from a couple of small VHF antenna's IN my shack, I have NO
shortwave antenna's up and running.

So, my beloved KENWOOD TS930-S is just collecting dust.  Last year I
bough a quite expensive BUTTERNUT antenna, but it's still sitting in a
box in the corner of my shack.

That the sad story from ISTANBUL.

My main interests in amateur radio are QRP, homebrewing, cw and key

with a bag full of old keys. The XYL asked me if I was going to use
them all at the same time. I didn't give it any thought till then so
made up the answer: "I'm collecting them now" which actually seems to
be the case since I can't stop buying, hi.  Also buying and restoring
old military radio's.  I have the full licence since 1994 and worked at
the lower bands most of the time.

County) 43-43-07N; 079-33-40W; 152 metres AMSL Active on: SSB,
80-40-20m ; 2m FM

I'm a baby boomer,born 1947 in St. Michael's Hospital,Toronto (to a
Home Economics major and a ex-Royal Canadian Navy turned commodities
broker) but whisked home to Stouffville,ON.

By the 60's I was a techno-geek in what's now Mississauga,repairing
antique radios and b&w televisions in Junior High.Several classmates
had 1-channel CBs;Uncle Ernie showed up at a family reunion operating
hf SSB mobile from his car, and my interest in Ham Radio was greatly
encouraged.A year of Electrical Engineering at U. of Waterloo, 15
months work in Toll Multiplex at Northern Electric, and a 3-year
Electrical Technology course at Ryerson Polytechnical in Toronto (now
Ryerson Polytechnic University) with mentoring by VE3DVF Norm , and
Chuck Barsony, VE3AEK,led to gainful employment in electronics.

Hobbies include HO & G-scale model railroading (circa 1914),
woodworking and ham radio. I gave up R/C gliders to pursue electric R/C
boats.

For the past 4 years, I've been working for INDUSTRY CANADA - Spectrum
Management as a (federal) Radio Inspector. This was the final impetus
to become a Ham ; since I had to learn Morse Code and pass all the
exams I would be administering , well , why not get a Station License
and call sign too ?

Thanks to intensive effort and mentoring by VE3MVN,Ken (licensed since
'81), I run Low Power (90 W max.SSB) to an 80M wire dipole at 15' or a
fanned 40-30-20-15-10M fanned dipole at 20'. I'm also active on several
Toronto-area 2m repeaters from the car.All this with borrowed
equipment;thanks very much Ken & Peter.

Current plans include QRP CW and low power SSB on 10m as the sunspot
cycle improves.

also have a few other hobby's I cut Gem's do a bit of Gold Casting,
make my own wallets out of leather, collect a few coins (penny's) and
play on my computer's.

One is used for Packet and other related things the other is for most
everything else.

I have a Icon 706 that I take just about everywere that I go. Vary
versitile radio. I use it in the house also with a R5 & G5RV it gets me

Hi my name is Minne Hovinga, I am a Canadian Amatuer Radio Operator I
became involved with radio using the 11 meter band years ago using a 4
channel Gonset 4 watt output Xtal controlled.  call sign XM 48-2878
using a 5/8 Mosley ground plane.  I lost interest once the hash
started. Bought a scanner and spent many enjoyable evening listening to
the Ham radio operators , I knew then that was the mode of operation I
wanted to follow.  I contacted our local Radio club and made
arrangments to study and write my exam so that I might be legally
licened.  I passed the basic exam allowing me to use 2 meter and from
here to upgrade my cw.  I own HTX202 for 2meter operation,using a 9
element beam.  For HF I use a KW2000B, using a Long Wire Antenna.  As
you can see my hobbies are Ham related,including music (I play Pipe
Organ and electronic at Church) .  Hoping to hear from you on radio
related bands or through e-mail.

Brien, VE3VAW, has been a licensed amateur radio operator since March
of 1994.  Long Canadian winter evenings convinced me that the time had
come to sit down with the study guides and SuperMorse and actually
accomplish what I had originally wanted to do back about 1972 - become
a radio amateur.

Despite my wife's misgivings about antennae, which I am proud to say
all came true - there are two wire antennas and a tribander now - I
have been very happy with the outcome.

I try to be active on CW HF as much as I can, and run both qrp on my
home brew qrp rigs (NorCal Sierra and NorCal 40), as well as lower
level qro. I don't want to 'excite' my urban neighbourhood with too
much RF.

If I work you, I would be happy to exchange QSL cards via the bureau,
or even directly via the postal system - and if I had to sign quickly
during our exchange to take care of the dog I really DID have to - with
three of them sometimes it gets interesting in the shack keeping track
of the timing and demands they all have and need answered.

G'day from Down Under,

The callsign of VK3EM has a long history. It has been issued three
times! In 1928 (or there-abouts) it was issued to H.W. Doudney (SK).
After the war is was re-issued to E.C. Manifold who became Silent Key
in 1992. In 1996 it was issued to the current holder, Luke F.
Enriquez.

E.C. Manifold had a rich history of involved with the Morrabin and
District Radio Club. He was also an avid home-brewer.

I (Luke Enriquez) am also an avid home brewer. I am currently
completing my final year of my electronic engineering degree at La
Trobe University in Melbourne. My favourite amateur passtimes are
building and using HF CW QRP rigs and foxhunting.  You can find out

I was born on the 14th December 1942 in a small village in the province
of North-Holland in the Netherlands and married to Maria for over 35
years.

I have been a career officer with the Royal Marechaussee (Royal
Military Police) in the Netherlands, before joining the Netherlands
Foreign Service. For the past thirty years we have been living and
working abroad.  Our life in the Foreign Service started in Washington
D.C. and from there we were posted in Rome, Accra (Ghana), New York,
Dar es Salaam (Tanzania), Lima (Peru) and Moscow. Since August 1996 I
have been appointed as Consul of the Netherlands in Melbourne,
Australia.  The present assignment consists mainly of Trade promotion,
Cultural affairs and general Consular affairs in the States of
Victoria, Tasmania, South- and West-Australia.

One of my hobbies is amateur radio. Living in different countries means
obtaining different licenses to operate. My valid call signs are
currently NM2R, PA3FLH and VK3FGO. Other call signs held in the past
are, among others, 5H3RB, OA4CEV and UA3A/PA3FLH. The three years
posting in Tanzania (5H3) from 1986 to 1989 was most exciting as far as
amateur radio is concerned. Over 30.000 QSO's resulted in thousands of
QSL-cards and quite a number a amateur radio awards. Although being a
"rare DX" was quite fascinating, my XYL considered herself a "Ham
widow" during those years.

Another hobby is music. I have been playing organ and piano since I was
six years old. I did play organ in many churches in the Netherlands and
in quite a few churches during our posting in Washington D.C.  In Rome
I had the opportunity to play a few times the beautiful concert organ
of Chiesa di Santa Susanna.  All sorts of music have my interest, but
classical music is still my favoured.

I am a major contester with a mega-station - NOT!

I was first licensed as WA2LSI and my licensed lapsed during my
military service. No stations in North Vietnam to operate, HIHI. I, as
were many, was unaware that I had a grace renewal period from date of
discharge.  So ham radio languished while I raised a family and pursued
a myriad of other interests. I really missed it so I relicensed as
KE6RJW a few years ago and when the opportunity to get my uncle's call
arose, I took it.

My modest station is perched on the fault-line of the 1989 Loma Prieta,
California earthquake. The shack is separate from the house and while
it has AC going to it, powering the lights for guests and the adjoining
office for my wife, it is on 12VDC. I have 1500Ah of battery capacity
which is charged by two 80W solar panels. I have an inverter for the
rotors and all else is 12VDC powered. That limits my TS-850S to 100W
output which I find more than adequate to drive my KT-34XA at 20M
height for HF work. I have a TS-690S for a second HF rig and on 6M that
drives a homebrew 6 el 6M beam above the KT-34XA. For VHF/UHF work, I
have an IC-820H into a pair of KLM 2m-14C and a M2 436CP30, both driven
by 150W bricks respectively.

I work for a major marine research facility and have far too much fun
at work. Check it out at ( http://www.mbari.org )

Thanks for reading this. I hope to work you on the air.

I was born in 1964 to Ken and Betty Custer of Somerset PA. My father,
W3WGX, was first licensed in 1934 as W8DMC and then in 1937 as W8WGX.
After World War II his callsign changed to W3WGX, as western PA was
changed over to the third call area. It is obvious that I have been
around radio all of my life. When I was five, my father and I would go
to the local radio station (WVSC) to do repair work as my father also
has his First Class Radiotelephone licence. Because of my small
physical size at age 5 my Dad and the other engineer would get me to
change the bypass caps. in the 5 KW. FM transmitter. My arms and
fingers would fit where their's wouldn't, and so I was then learning
about radio. I have been doing technical work for them and at the other
local stations ever since.

I was first licensed in 1984 a novice with the callsign KA3MZF.  I
up-graded twice to my current advanced class. My real interest in ham
radio came with repeaters. I now have many, along with a website to
help others with technical repeater questions.  You can visit my site
at  http://www.kuggie.com/ Along with the elmering of my father Ken, I
also went to the local Vocational-Technical School, for electronics, of
course. I took the test for First Class radiotelephone when I was 16
but  I failed, however I did pass the Second Class test the same day.

I married my high-school sweetheart Julie Schnatterly in 1993, years
after we were out of high-school. She was never really interested in
ham radio until the no-code incentive.  She is now licenced as N3SQK.
She and I have two children, Fred and Mia. I am employed as an engineer
at Masters Communications Inc.  a technical CATV company. I am also
involved in racing. The weekend warrior stuff. There is a link to the
racing website from my site.  My nickname is Kuggie, hence the
reference to all of my web and e-mail stuff. Stop by my website and say

W3PP, first licensed as a Novice, KN3WUW in 1963 and passed the General
exam later that year.  K3WUW became an Extra in 1965.  I always felt
that my call was like my name, and resisted the early incentive
licensing opportunities.  After five years overseas, and not using the
call, I decided it was time to get rid of the old tongue twister.  Thus
in 1996 I bought one of those spiffy vanity calls.  Now retired in
rural Delaware, I have put together a modest contesting station.  I
operate single op in the Sweepstakes, and run a Multi op Multi

Steve Scheinberg, W3SY.  Jarrettsville, MD

Steve was first licensed in November, 1970 at the age of 13 as WN3PQM.
In April of 1971, he upgraded straight to Advanced and became WA3PQM.
In 1977, he upgraded to Extra Class and was assigned the present
callsign of W3SY.

Steve is employed as a network engineer, supporting large Novell and
Windows NT networks. He also works as a professional singer, having
appeared with the Baltimore Opera Company, Baltimore Choral Arts
Society, Peabody Opera Theatre, and as a "freelance" soloist.

When not hamming (either with a radio, or onstage), W3SY is probably
playing baseball or softball. An avid ballplayer (when not injured!),
Steve enjoys playing center field. While attending the Baltimore
Orioles Fantasy Camp in Florida in Febrary 1998, he also discovered he
could pitch. Armed with a "blazing" 70 mph fastball, a wicked slider,
and a baffling sinker, Steve managed to keep other aging  weekend
warrior batters at bay. Pretty much.

Steve is married to Wendy (who he hopes one day will get a ham ticket
and the call sign W3NDY) and has two young daughters. The W3SY family
lives in Jarrettsville, MD, a rural community about 25 miles northeast
of Baltimore, MD.

The Capitol Hill Amateur Radio Society (CHARS) is a NONPARTISAN
organization of Capitol Hill employees who have been licensed by the
Federal Communications Commission after successfully completing an
examination on their proficiency in radio communications knowledge and
skills. The association began in 1968 when an aide to then-Senator
Sparkman placed a note in the Capitol Hill newspaper ROLL CALL
requesting that other radio Amateurs working on the Hill contact him. A
number of radio Amateurs from various offices did so, and formed an
informal luncheon group. Senator Goldwater joined the group when he
returned to the Senate in 1969.


CHARS was formally established in 1969 when its charter was signed and
organizational bylaws adopted.  At those early meetings, Senator
Goldwater, who at that time maintained, at his home in Arizona, one of
the largest military-affiliated Amateur Radio stations in the world,
proposed that a station be established in one of the Senate office
buildings. It would be "established, operated, and maintained by Club
members, on a purely voluntary basis, without use of any government
funds," to ensure that there would be the equipment and operators, or
persons with direct access through connections with the radio Amateur
community at large.

I was born on a farm in Lilian, Virginia on September 20, 1934. Our
family moved to Baltimore, Maryland in 1941 after my dad accepted a job
with the Glenn L. Martin Company (airplane manufacturer). Many farmers
moved to the cities to work in defense plants during World War II. I
graduated from the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute in 1953 and went to
work as an electronics draftsman on missile ground control systems for
the Glenn L. Martin Company. In 1963, I started a career with the
Federal Government. I retired in November, 1991 from the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration, Goddard Space Flight Center in
Greenbelt, Maryland. My last position was the Administrator of Minor
Construction in the Facilities Engineering Division. During my Goddard
career, I traveled to many of the worldwide Manned Space and Satellite
Tracking Stations. I also owned and operated a refrigeration service
business from 1973 until 1995.

I served in the Army from 1960 through 1962 as an Intermediate Speed
Radio Operator and the Commanding Officer's driver. I was stationed at
Panzer Kaserne in Boeblingen, Germany with the 7th Army's 1st Signal
Battalion, Company A. After completing basic training at Ft.  Jackson,
South Carolina, I was made an Assistant Instructor in Radio School
after I showed the instructor my ham radio license and passed the Morse
Code test on the first day. Ham radio does have other benefits besides
being an enjoyable hobby!

I am a member of the Masons, York and Scottish Rites, Shriners and the
American Legion.

I was first licensed as a Novice (WN3VQY) in 1953 while a member of my
high school radio club. Within a year, I upgraded to Technician.  In
those days the Novice class was only good for 1 year and wasn't
renewal. After upgrading, we dropped the "N" from our callsign. I am
presently a member of ARRL, FISTS, QCWA, 10-10 International, ARES, the
Maryland Mobileers Amateur Radio Club and the Anne Arundel Radio Club.

I enjoy operating on 10 and 2 meters. My radios include ICOM's IC-736,
IC-2000 (2 meter) and IC-2GXAT (2 meter handheld). My antennas consist
of Cushcraft's R-7 vertical up 20 feet (10-40 meters), TEN-3 beam up 28
feet (10 meter) and a Ringo-Ranger up 30 feet (2 meter).

My other hobbies include computing, listening to country, bluegrass and
gospel music, vegetable gardening and collecting "ERTL" cast metal
Texaco promotional truck and airplane banks.

Hi there!!  Got my first license (WN2FAQ) in 1976 and upgraded to
General class about 1 year later (WB2FAQ).  Took my General class as
Varick St. in New York when the FCC was still administering the exams!
What memories :-)  Moved back home to Pennsylvania, where I became
KA3AQV.  Now I sport my Elmer's call, W3ZF.

As you can see from my picture, I have an affinity for Heathkits.  I am
currently running the SS-9000 - the crown jewel of Heath's HF rigs.  My
webpage (www.zdial.com/~heathkit) shows off more of my station.  Check

My interests are: CW, SSB, RTTY (still have my working Model 28ASR) and
packet.  I belong to the Delaware-Lehigh Amateur Radio Club (W3OK).

My wife and I are High School sweethearts (married: 1973) and we have
two (grown) kids: Ann (b. 1975) and Jeff (b. 1976).  I graduated from

I was born in Pennsylvania in 1916 and graduated from high school in
1933 at the depth of the great depression.  During those years we lived
on a farm in western PA, so we had adequate food, but very little
cash.  I used the proceeds of a trap line (muskrats, possums, skunks,
etc.) to buy parts to build my first regenerative receiver along about
1934. I was first licensed in 1937 with the callsign W8RBC.  I operated
40 meter CW exclusively until leaving for the Navy just before we got
into WW II.

I was called to active duty in the US Naval Reserve  in April 1941.  I
spent several years at Naval Transmitting Stations, then, after a tour
through the Navy Electronic School, stayed on as an instructor at the
school at the Naval Research Labs.  My final assignment was the USS
Pocono, a Communications Vessel.  I was discharged in September 1945 as
a Chief Electronics Technician.

After the war, I received bachelor's and master's degrees in EE from
Carnegie Tech.  My engineering career was spent in three different
companies on electronic warfare equipment development.  I was part of a
team developing Infrared Reconaissance Equipment, and one of our
"firsts" was a strip map of Manhattan taken in the 2 to 5 micron band.
That map appeared on the cover of The Proceedings of the Institute of
Radio and Electronics Engineers.  I retired in 1981 and have been
"hamming it up" since then.  My favorite activity is a sked with some
of my Navy acquaintances from WW II.  Some of us are still alive, HI.

I am a member of RACES, ARES, ARRL, and QCWA.  Several times each year
I serve as net control of the Central PA RACES Net for our weekly

Originally from Warrington, PA. Living is Philadelphia the past 13
years. Due to living in a row house, I wasn't able to operate the low
bands due to interference to the neighbors tv's. Unfortunately there
were alot of tv's with the old Rabbit Ears antennas. I am moving to a
new home in Warminster, PA on 9/30/98. Once there, I will be
re-activating my station. I can be reached at jseibel@voicenet.com or

I have been licensed since 1976 and currently hold an advanced class.
The license came about after I decided if I couldn't beat him I may as
well join him...in reference to my OM Tom W3BZN. He was licensed at the
age of 14 and for the first 15 years of our marriage I "just couldn't
understand all the time he spent in the radio room."

Once licensed I was hooked and we enjoy DX chasing together...of course
the YL voice sometimes has the advantage!!!. My time has been limited
by my work as a Registered Nurse and Nursing Home Administrator but we
have made wonderful friends the world over through the hobby. We have
visited "hams" in Australia and New Zealand and have had them visit us
here in Altoona, PA.

I have been a member of YLRL for 20 years and currently serve as the
supplies chairman for this organization.

We both enjoy camping in our RV and meeting hams across the country,
naturally traveling is a favorite hobby and I enjoy all trypes of
crafts. Our shack has the radio station on one side of the room and the
computer station on the other. With retirement in the near future we
will be spending lots of time on the hobbies we enjoy.

I'm a  unique ham in that I believe I  may be the only ex-Marine
Kindergarten teacher in the country; at least the only one I've ever
heard about. Being a teacher means summer vaction; summer vacation
means ham radio!  I like visiting with people in places I will probably
never see. By learning about other cultures I believe I do a better job
of introducing geographical and cultural concepts to my little guys. My
wife is patient and understanding about my wacky summertime hours(late
night dx on 20 is great these days).  We have two at home, a 16 year
old and an 8 year old. They are my fulltime job in the summer.  I
operate a Kenwood 850, AL 811 amp and an R5vertical/G5RV on low bands,
ants. My interest is mainly hf but I do  have 2m/440 ht and mobile.  I
especially love 10 m when it's open but am most often on 20. I enjoy
all the other bands and am hoping to activate on 160 this coming
winter.  73 & Good DX Brian

"Hola",

Just a few lines explaining my QSL card etc.... This picture was taken
during filming of the movie "Contact", of which I had a lot of fun
helping out.  It shows the "platform" suspended 500 feet in the air
from three towers above 1000 feet of spherical aluminum dish below. The
rotating "azimuth arm" houses two antenna systems that move in
elevation (20 degrees from vertical) along a track on it's underside.
This in turn rotates (720 degrees) around the circular track on the
"triangle".

I do work at the Radio-Telescope and have been since 1977. I'm
currently a computer programmer, but had more fun when I used to be
part of the telescope operations group (15 years). What a great place
to work if you're a ham.

If you're in Puerto Rico please look us up. There are quite a few hams
at the site and if you like golf maybe we can play a round or two!

Hope to work you on the bands or in an upcoming contest!

Bio:
I became interested in amateur radio as a teenager in the sixties.  I
finally became a novice, WN4YDT, during college, but I got interested
in computers and let my radio interests slide.  Fast forward to 1991
when I received my novice call, KD4FOI, on my 40th birthday.  I had
already passed the technician license by the time the license came.  I
planned to use my VHF privileges and try HF at a later day.  But N3PB
pushed me to get on HF sooner rather than later because we were
approaching the end of the sunspot cycle and poorer conditions.  So, at
the beginning of 1992, I purchased a used Ten-Tec Omni C.  With the new
rig and long wire antenna, I became active on the HF bands.  I found
that although my early interest in the hobby was designing and building
radios, I really like operating and chasing DX.  My code speed improved
on the air and I upgraded to General and then Extra, becoming AC4XO in
the Fall of 1992.

I'm a systems analyst for Virginia Tech, I'm married to KD4LQO, and I
live in the country on a small farm.

My current ham-related interests are extending my DXCC totals, building
QRP rigs, and occasionally ragchewing on phone or CW.  My favorite
bands or 12M, 17M, 30M, and 15M.

I was born in 1952 in Kansas, but spent most of my years in Minnesota
until I moved to North Dakota and North Carolina to go to school.  I
have lived in Charlotte, North Carolina with my wonderful husband since
our marriage in 1987.

Since receiving my Ph.D in Sociology in 1984 I have taught at Wake
Forest University and have worked for the Labor Market Unit of the
Department of Agriculture in Washington, DC.  In 1987 I opened a
business in Charlotte, NC that provided services for small businesses.
In 1995 I sold the business and in 1996 my husband retired, and we
traveled for two years, going around the world and then spending time
out west and in Canada.

My husband, Ken Cannaday (currently W4NZC - originally licensed as
W4NIT in 1960) had let his license lapse and decided in 1991 to get
back into Ham Radio.  I didn't want to miss out on anything so I began
studying and received my tech plus license in 1991 (KD4HFD), and
eventually my Extra in 1995.  I can never thank him enough for
introducing me to this fun and very interesting hobby and for his
support and help.

Now that we are back in our house and settled I enjoy CW and am always
trying to get that speed up.  I enjoy the available nets and
particularly a schedule I have with some special education children and
their ham communications teacher.  Along with ham radio, we are
enjoying our time now straightening up things from being gone for so
long, catching up with friends, reading, running and working out, and
hopefully doing some more travelling.

Formerly: KN8GTX, N4BJU, KE4JCT

I was born in Detroit Michigan in 1940 and attended Macomb Elementary,
Denby High School, and Wayne State University. I became KN8GTX, a
Novice,  in 1957 while in high school.

I married Melody in April of 1963 and moved to Fort Myers, Florida, in
the fall of that year. I got the opportunity to start with a new
department called the computer dept. in 1966 with FP&L.  We moved to
Miami, Florida that same year. I have four children, Kandy, Kent, Keith
and Karen who all turned out to be excellent. In June 1976, I received
my Masters from Florida International University.

In 1979, I became N4BJU, a Technician by going to the Miami FCC office
and passing their tests. In 1982, I had the opportunity to attend the
University of Virginia in Charlottesville, VA. After that, I became the
Conversion Manager at FP&L to convert all 2000 RCA programs to run on
the IBM machines.

In 1993 I was downsized and retired at 53 in Sebring, Florida. In 1994,
I became KE4JCT a Technician Plus and became active in the Highlands
County Amateur Radio Club. In 1996 I became Vice-President and then
President in 1997. The club started its first web page
http://www.strato.net/~hamradio  which I administer.

In Januuary, 1998, I became AF4HV, Extra Class, and a CAVEC VE tester
for our area.

Dear OM:  How are you? My name is Shi-Sho Tsai, living in Taiwan.
Hooked on playing radio while I was a little child, I usually picked up
used batteries and worn tubes to make my radio operated. As a student
of junior high school, I finally had money to buy some electronic
tubes, capacity, and resistant to create some electric circuit, such as
ore radio. During the period of the compulsory military service in my
country, I also learned some electric theories. Gradually, I have great
interest in radio and electric machines.  In 1967, I entered into
Taiwan Television Company as an electronic engineer in transmit
station. I got second-class license of Amateur Radio License in 1991.
On the network of Ham Radio, the happiest thing is to make friend, and
I also did. In 1992, I have been to Tianjin City (China), visiting the
members of BY3AA, BY3AB, BY3AC, and BY3AD. Moreover, I also visited the
biggest Amateur Radio Station --- BY1PK -in Mainland China. The most
impressive thing for me is that I made the QSO from BY1PK to Taiwan.
This is the first QSO contact between the Taiwan Strait.  Talking to
making new friends of Ham Radio, N4VA(USA), VK4QN (Australia), JA3YTE
and his wife, JK1YYA and his husband (Japan) had ever visited to my
QTH.  The picture of my QSO card in my XYL and me when we visit

Born in 1948 (Sassuolo,(Modena),North Italy) I have been licensed in
1976.  Never interested in "chat-by-radio" until 1995 I work only HF by
CW and RTTY. Proudly my power was never over 100Watts.  My first
station was a surplus COLLINS URR-392 and an home brew x-tal 50Watts CW
tx running an 807 tube (lately I got a 6146...)

Always feeling Ham-radio as a scientific and technical hobby, three
years ago I start working Amateur Satellites, either the "digital" or
the "analog" (and these are my first QSOs by voice...).  By far,
satellites, and generally speaking, human space activities, are now my
great interest, either as a matter of study, either as ham activity.
Working sats and tring to prepare for P3-D had the side effect to
build-up a growing interest in micro-waves technology.

My station actually consists of a Kenwood TS-940 (in about a quiescent
state), Kenwood TR751 (VHF) and TR851 (UHF) 25Watts all-mode RTX, that
support about all the traffics via sats and terrestrial packet. For
digital activity I have a PK-232 and two home-brew modems: a 9600 bps
G3RUH and a 1200 bps PSK.  I'm just now building (hope well) a
converter for 2.4 GHz (by KH6CP,Zack Lau) toghether with some other
stuff working over the GHz.

I'm AMSAT-I #211 and AMSAT-NA #29443 member.

As you can suppose by the photo I suffer a "fatal attraction" from old
HP instrument.

Last but not least I need to get a better English :-)

while living in Tullahoma, TN.  He progressed up through the ham ranks
and received his Extra Class License in March 1994.  Madell and his
wife, Naomi are both native Tennesseans.  Their parents were dirt
farmers in the hills of TN.  After graduating from Tennessee
Technological University in 1952 with a BS Degree in Mathematics,
Madell entered the USAF.  After leaving active duty in the AF in 1955,
he entered the scientific and engineering computer programming field
and continued in aerospace related work until he retired in 1993.  He
worked as a contractor at the Arnold Engineering Development Center at
Tullahoma, TN, Marshall Space Flight Center at Huntsville, AL, and the
Langley Research Center at Hampton, VA.   He retired from Computer
Sciences Corp., with almost 27 years service.  Madell has worked on
several large-scale mainframe computers but the most interesting was
programming the UNIVAC 1102 at AEDC.  There were no assemblers or
compilers then, and the 1102 was programmed using binary and octal.
After leaving active duty, he continued participating in the Reserve
and retired from the AF Reserve as a Colonel.  Other members of the

I was born in West Tennessee in 1934. My family moved to Oak Ridge, Tn
in 1944. I finished high school at Oak Ridge in 1952. I married in 1956
and have three children by that marriage. They are Myra Scott, Becky
Eddy and Steven Finch. I married a second time in 1981 to Gail Price.
Now Gail Price Finch.

I was in the army, then the national guard from 1957 till 1963. I
trained in anti aircraft artillery and M-48 Patton tanks. I was a tank
commander when I left the guards.

I worked in a service station during my junior and senior years in high
school then hired in with Union Carbide Oct. 1, 1952. I was first a
cascade operator then worked with large mainframe computer systems till
I retired in 1993.

I have played piano and keyboard instruments since I was about 14 years
old. I played with several small bands and combos from 1950-1978.
Popular and country music was my thing. I'm rusty but still play a
little every few days.

My first radio amateur license was issued in the spring of 1959. A
friend (K4SXJ) administered the Novice exam and my call was KN4ESW. Six
months later I took the FCC exam for the General class license in
Atlanta and my call became K4ESW. I was very active on the bands until
the mid 1960's but then other priorities caused me to gradually become
totally inactive. In the old days you had to have a few hours, I don't
remember how many, of operating time logged in the quarter prior to
renewing the license. I would borrow a rig long enough to log the time
so I could keep my call. I retired after working for the same company
41 years when I was 59 years old and didn't have enough to do so I got
back on the air. This was largely due to a friend of mine, Charlie
Glass (WA4AED), who loaned me a Collins KWM2 long enough to renew my
interest and get my code speed up a little. I purchased a used Kenwood
TS440 so I'm back on the air. I am presently on 80,40,20,15 and 10
meters. I prefer CW and always have so I guess you may hear me
"pounding the brass." Amateur radio must be one of the most satisfying
hobbies in the world. At least I think so.

Bio:
First licensed in August 1952 as WN8LEN (novice), then upgraded to
General one year later and dropped the "N" from the call becoming
W8LEN. I moved back and forth between Grand Rapids, Michigan and
Woodstock, Illinois 2 times over the next 3 years, changing my call to
W9GEX, then back to W8LEN, and finally back to W9GEX again.  I upgraded
to Advanced in 1968 (no call change) and in 1972 after moving to
Florida, I received the call K4IWL which I still hold today.  I have
not advanced to EXTRA by choice or procrastination even though I love
CW and still operate whenever I can. I am now getting back to "the
basics" by planning a lot of CW activity very soon.  I have
"rediscovered" QRP and have just finished building Wilderness Radio's
Sierra QRP CW xceiver and plan several QRP-xpeditions each year for the
foresseable future.

I do operate 2M & 70cm from the mobile and have been on packet since
1985 although for the past 4 years, I haven't been very active on the
digital mode.

My ham radio nickname is "LEN" derived from my first call and given to
me by fellow hams at the Grand Rapids Amateur Radio Association (GRARA)
who couldn't remember or pronounce my given name. It stuck and when I
went into the Navy several years later, I had to declare it as a legal
alias for my Top Secret security clearance.  By the way, "LEN" is much
like FABIAN, there is no other name associated with it.  Sometimes, I
get mail to Len Carlson but in reality, it's simply "LEN."  "And there
shall only be one."

Bio:
I was raised in Woburn, Massachusetts on July 29, 1954 and lived there
for 29 years. My family never travelled so I spent most summer
vacations getting into the usual mischief common during the '60s.  I
got interested in rock music, enjoyed Boy Scouting, the brotherhood of
the Order of DeMolay and serving as a Greek Orthodox Altar boy.

At an early age, I got interested in anything mechanical or electrical.
After graduating high school I attended the College of Engineering at
Northeastern University, Boston.  The cooperative education plan
allowed me to gain experience while studying.  I took some time off
about a third of the way through to get work experience and have the
usual fun of a single guy in his 20s including drinking and alpine
skiing in New England.

Not long after my 21st birthday, I was raised to the sublime degree of
Master Mason and started working my way up the chairs.  At 28 years
old, I became the youngest Worshipful Master of my Masonic Lodge, Mount
Horeb.  While still young, I completed all the degrees of the York Rite
and joined Aleppo Temple, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine.  I was
"priviledged" to be a "working" candidate.

While still living at home, I was first licensed in November 1978 as a
coded Technician with the call KA1BMJ and upgraded to Extra in May 1980
and got the shorter AJ1R.  I enjoyed CW ragchews, NTS traffic handling
and VHF repeaters.

In June 1980, I decided to quit playing around and finish my
education.   Two years later, I received the Bachelor of Science degree
and started my engineering career at Raytheon working on shipboard
radar.  One year later I moved to St. Petersburg, Florida and began
working at E-Systems on military communications systems.  I've been
here ever since.

I am currently a registered Boy Scout Leader and have served as
Assistant Scoutmaster and Scoutmaster where my duties got me selected
as a member of Timuquan Lodge, Order of the Arrow and elevated to the
Vigil Honor.   My current interests include Native American music and
dance, amateur radio, home brewing and home theatre.  In ham radio, I
still enjoy CW and with my friend Jim's help, have built an extensive
linked repeater system covering 5 bands and includes remote bases and
internet links.  Visit our home page at http://home1.gte.net/k4lk.  I
currently serve as Coordinator, Database Manager and Webmaster for the
Florida Repeater Council.  In my home theatre, I enjoy favorite films
and music on various delivery methods including satellite, laserdiscs,
CD and DVD with Dolby Digital and DTS sound.

I was first licensed in 1977 in MO as WD0FOT.  I upgraded to General &
Advanced within a year and received N0ARN.  I operated mainly 75 & 10
phone in those days.  Got my first taste of contesting (my radio love
now) during a CQ WorldWide SSB test in 1978.  Went to University of
Missouri - Rolla and operated some from the club station, W0EEE.
Drifted away from Ham radio during college and became inactive.

Moved to NC after college and applied for a 4-land call and received
KI4HN.  During 1992 got re-interested in Ham radio by two co-workers
who were Hams.  I upgraded to Extra in 1994 and kept KI4HN.  Received
K4MA during the first day of Gate 2 Vanity Call issues in 1996.

Rediscovered contesting during the 1992 CA QSO Party, and the
contesting bug bit big-time.  Since that time I have made about 26000
QSOs using my call, approximately 17500 QSOs operating on contesting
DXpeditions to the Carribean, and approximately another 7500 QSOs as
part of multi-ops or using someone else's call.  That is about 51000
QSOs in less than 6 years!

I have operated using the following DX calls: PJ7/KI4HN & PJ8Z (94),
VP2E/KI4HN & VP2EN (96), 8P9JA (97), KP2/K4MA & WP2Z (97), VP5/K4MA &
VP5NC (98).  I will return to 8P9JA for the 1999 ARRL DX CW.  I handle
QSLs for the following PJ7/KI4HN, VP2E/KI4HN, VP2EN, 8P9JA, KP2/K4MA, &
VP5/K4MA.

Licensed as K4WJZ in 1960 at the age of 15 I tried unsucessfully to
break away from electronics in college.  In high school I could have
easily been president of "Future Geeks of America" with a pocket
protector, slide rule, and a penchant for running the projector during
school activities.  With my ham radio license I was a complete "geek".
My four years at Middle Tennessee State University netted me a
Political Science degree and an Army commission in 1967.  My
specialties in the Army ranged from Tank Platoon Leader to Tugboat
company commander with the US Army Harborcraft Company (provisional) in
Newport Viet Nam.  Upon return to the civilian world in 1971 and an
untimely rescession I spent a year trying to get a job I considered
befitting a college graduate and former Army officer.  With 10 percent
nationwide unemployment at that time and a family to feed, it seemed
best I let my hobby, electronics, provide my living temporarily.
Twenty-six years later I'm still in the two-way radio business as
President and part owner of Middle Tennessee Two-way Inc, a full
service two-way radio sales ans service organization.  Having
discovered two-way radio in 1972 and the best teacher ever, Bill
Kincaid (WA4YND)I'd truly found my calling.  For many years I felt I
would have "paid someone to let me do this" and as a typical business
owner I'm sure I often do just that.

Amateur Radio. His father, John Crosby, originally K4GBL, taught Graham
well the "ins and outs" of CW, theory, proper operating procedure and
what it ment to be a ham. When the FCC gave Extra class hams the option
to get a 1X2 call, John changed his call to K4XA for CW operation.
After his fathers death in 1994, Graham upgraded from Advanced to Extra
class and acquired K4XA for his own call to honor his father. Graham
also applied for and received a club license and got K4GBL (John's

Born June 6, 1955 in Columbus Ohio, moved to Florida in 1963 to a town
called Titusville near the Kennedy Space Center (where I have lived

I am a Space Shuttle Mechanic working in the VAB and at the Pads as a
Forward Mechanic in the Crew Module, I have been doing that since April
of 1979, not  much longer for retirement, hopefully.

Spent 6 years in the Army (June 1972 to Sep 1977) mainly with the 101st
Airborne Division, yes and jumped out of good flying airplanes. Spent
one tour in Korea and a number of other bases in the U.S. Left the Army
as a SGT E-5

Obtained  my first Ham ticket as a Tech. in July 1997 and have worked
very hard to make my way to Advanced.....still working on that code to
get my extra. Built me a real nice Ham shack out behind my house with
nice computer so i can work online also, real happy with my set up, my
little home away from home. Small 35 foot tower with small rotar so
only have 22 elemet for my 2 meters and a vertical for my 10 meters,
running G5RV for the rest of the bands, works very well.  Am able to
work all bands 2 thru 160 as i just bought a new 706 MKII.  Will always
keep that Kenwood 520SE for the back up thou. Still need that big
kicker for working the good DX but don't do to bad when the bands are
open,  have learned how to work that G5RV to get the maximun out of
it.

If you have gotten this far on reading what i have typed about myself
thanks for reading it and drop me a line.  You can usualy catch me on
3.782 in the evenings as there are a few of us that meet every night, a
real friendly group, mostly from Fl and other southern states sence we

I've been interested in two-way radio since I was 14. In high school,
I'd asked my electronics teacher about becoming a ham. He said the
first requirement was morse code. That put an end to my interest in ham
radio. Then, as time passed, I'd been working radio systems for the US
Air Force, when the no-code license was introduced. That was all I
needed to get my interest back into amateur radio. I have been active
in the local club, providing technical support. I maintain the club
packet BBS and voice repeaters. At this pont, I still have no desire to
operate morse code, an out moded means of communication, in my
opinion.  Soon, the world will realize that morse code does not make an
operator.  When that happens, and the requirement to test for morse
code is dropped, then I will advance into the class of license in which
I am quite electronically qualified for, Extra!

I got interested in radios when I was 14 years old. I started off with
scanners and just happend to scan across ham radio. I was amazed but
had no idea how to get involved. Then I meet a freind and later found
out that he was a ham. I really wanted to get my license but the code
held me back. Then I was told the good news. Code was no longer needed
to become a ham, so I bought the books and read them over and over. On
2/22/92 I took the test and passed and waited five weeks to get my
ticket in the mail. I wish they had the instant internet update then
like they do now! Now when you pass the test you can find out your call
in about 24 hours.

Hi, I'm Chris...  Moved from Talladega, Alabama in about 1995 sometime,
after I had got out of our wonderful hobby. Looking to get back into it
soon, as soon as I can get all the terms and calls back in the ole
head.

I'm 30 years old, reside in Douglasville, Georgia, now, and plan on
getting back into Ten meters and two meters, at least.

One of these days, I'm gonna get that general  :)

My favorite events when I was active :

-Mock emergency situations (moulage' or whatever you call em).

-Contests contests contests...

-Calling CQ, all hours of the day.  I loved the DX contacts on the 10
meter band, and it was about the time the sun cycle started back down
that I got out of it  :(


Hope to be up and running, and to hear from you soon !

I've been into Amateur Radio for about 5 years and hold an Extra class
license.  The East River ARC in Bluefield, WV is the club that I spend
most of my time with, having been elected President once, chairing
Field Day activities three times, and participating in all club
activities possible. There are really nice and friendly people in the
ERARC and they together have taught me many things.  I am also a member
of the Giles Amateur Radio Association which is located in Giles County
VA.  (Search for "East River Amateur Radio Club" to find several of the
greatest web pages that you've ever seen,,, there are links to the GARA
there also).

I have been a member of the Bliefield, VA Fire Department since 1978
and really enjoy this kind of work. I have been employed at Bluefield
Regional Medical Center since 1981, working as a Registered Respiratory
Therapist, being licensed in West Virginia since licensure was required
two years ago.  My line of work is enjoyable and fascinating.

My full time job is raising a family.  My lovely wife of 15 years is
Ginny, kf4ybu, and the oldest son Jody, kf4pcc, is 14 and seems to grow
more mouth cells than any other body part(s).  The youngest at 12 is
Aaron,,,, a ham-don't-wanna=be (as of yet). The boys are in the Boy
Scouts, play baseball, CDs, golf. bowling, and their parents for all

Studied for the Novice and passed on the second try. Tried for
Technician, but just wasn't getting the hang of it, so when everyone
else was getting the hang of it, I decided to study the code. Every
night I would practice code, and study the tech. I even combined the
two by taking the tech test samples via code! I had counted on getting
A license, by at least passing element 2B or 3. When I finished the
tech test, I immediately proceeded to the Novice code exam. When I
finished, and got the good news that I had passed the code, I also got
news that I had also passed the technician test too. I have been very
busy with scouts and school ever since...

... Graduated High School in May 1998, and got Eagle scout in January. Now I am working. It just seems like it gets harder and harder to be a ham operator anymore! Especially since my last good rig was hit by lightning! Oh well!  :o)

I always had an interest in radio, but didn't get my callsign until the
1993 National Boy Scout Jamboree at Ft. A.P. Hill, VA.  I see a great
importance in the presence of H.A.M. radio in the world, not only for
emergency purposes, but for fraternal purposes also.  When you contact
someone from another part of the world, all you want to do is to talk.
The superficial issues of race, origin, or religion fade away as
brotherhood sets in.  I will continue learning with the intent to serve
this institution.  I am a student at Brigham Young University majoring
in chemical engineering.  I hope to develop better batteries for our
beloved HTs.  I am also a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-Day Saints and served a 2-year full-time mission voluntarily in
Argentina, so now I can understand all those S.A. stations that before
