G0UOY is one of the amateur radio callsigns held by the Department of
Electronics at the University of York.


A Brief Overview

The University of York was founded in 1963 with 200 students in two
city-centre locations and at Heslington Hall(now the central
administrative building). It has now expanded to over 7,000 students
and has over 30 academic departments and associated research centres.


The Departments

From its inception, the University has concentrated on strong viable
departments and teaching and research of the highest quality. In spite
of its small size, it is rated as one of the top ten universities in
the United

Kingdom. In the research rating exercise carried out in 1996, research
in British universities was rated from 1 to 5*. Out of 21 assessed
departments, 18 achieved scores of 4, 5 or 5*.


About 20m worth of research grants and contracts are awarded to the
University each year, and the Universitys growth in research income has
exceeded that of any other UK university in the last three years.


The Collegiate System

The University has a collegiate system in which most staff and all
students are members of colleges. All first year undergraduates and
some other students live in one of the seven colleges. All departments,
except for the science departments, which have their own buildings and
laboratories, are located in specific colleges.

In addition, there are a number of houses on the campus which are lived
in by graduate students and short-term research staff, particularly
those who have families.


The Campus

The main campus at Heslington is a 200-acre landscaped park, well-known
for its lake and wildfowl. Here the colleges and academic buildings are
on a level site within walking distance of each other. Proximity to the
historic city of York makes the University a popular choice and provide
a pleasant working and residential environment.


The Chancellor

The Chancellor of the University is Dame Janet Baker, an
internationally famous opera and concert singer. She is the Universitys
fourth Chancellor and has held this position since November 1991.


The Vice-Chancellor

The Vice-Chancellor of the University is Professor Ron Cooke. Yorks
fourth Vice-Chancellor, he joined the University in 1993.

I do have Amtor and Pactor, but only really use these for a bit of
fun!  My main interest is on 20 metres RTTY, but I do venture on to 40m
and 15m during contests, with brief forays on 10m.

Due to the fact that I only have a half-size G5RV, my activities are a
bit limited on some bands.


My shack consists of a Yaesu FT757GX, with an MFJ948 ATU. For RTTY, I
use either the BMKMultyterm with software by G4BMK on an old 386SX PC
with 40MB HDD, or for contesting, I run WF1B software through an old
ST5MC TU from a DEC 325 SLC Laptop.

Francesco Basta, I0VFB

I was born a few years ago...  to be precise, about six years after the
bipolar transistor was patented.

After a lot of time spent in tinkering with the home radio (then OM
were transmitting in AM, so even a modest household receiver was able
to pick up QSOs on the 7 MHz band), I finally got my HAM license in
1974.

Since then I did not so many QSOs (only about 5000 so far), but had a
lot of fun with CW and more recently VHF. I worked about 140 DXCC
countries and all the US States (even though I do not hold the DXCC or
the WAS awards), mainly CW.

I also studieded as an engineer, and graduated in electronic
engineering at the University of Pisa (Italy). I started my
professional career as a designer, becoming then a device analyst in
one of the top semiconductor producers companies,  and subsequently a
quality engineer in the telecom field.

Due to antenna restrictions, I am currently only active in VHF (144
MHz) SSB & CW.

Best 73's to all, and hpe cu sn,

The radio passion began to 1988 suddenly. A cousin of my wife,
introduce me to the "Radio's wonderful world"!  My first experiences
was in the CB (Citizen Band). But my hamradio life changed when I
connected with only 5 watts and a vertical antenna a Chilean
correspondent.  Enriched of that experience, I prepare myself for the
relative hamradio examination. In 1991 I was on the air as IK0SDQ.
Today, after about 3000 QSO, I have achieved and subdued to approval
the following awards: WAC Phone, WAC 5 Bands, WAC RTTY, DXCC Phone, and
after 3 next confirmation I will send to the approval also the WAZ
award.  I have also realized a software program, GECO, for VHF contest
management. It receives a lot of consensus in the Italian hamradio
people.  That's all. All the best de IK0SDQ - Davide

This callsign is a vanity call issued 2/28/98.  Although the club has
been in existence for many years, this is the first callsign issued to
the club. It replaced the original call of KC0CMD, which was never
used. The call K0GQ is on the club's repeater on 145.17 MHZ, and is

In the summer of '65 when I was 13 years old my family went on a trip
to Chicago.  We went to the Allied Radio store and purchased a Knight-
Kit Span Master shortwave receiver for me to build.  I studied for my
novice license and received my WN0OCW license in January 1966.  The
only station outside of North America that I worked as a novice was a
HA in Hungary.  A year later I passed the general test (WA0OCW).  In
1970 I passed my First Class Commercial Radio-telephone license and
went to work for KLMS-AM as a broadcast engineer while I was a senior
in high school.  They had a 5 tower phased array then which influenced
my later ham antenna choices.  Later, I designed a directional array
for them which showed how their power could be increased during the
daylight hours (that followed).  I continued working in broadcast radio
as an engineer until 1990.  I designed and led construction of KFOR and
KFRX's current studio site in 1988.  In 1977 I passed the extra exam
and in 1978 changed to K0HA.  While living in Waverly, NE my low band
antennas evolved into a six element parasitic vertical array primarily
designed for 40 and 80 meters--it was later made to perform on 160 as
well (used when winning the 1987 USA plaque for the CQ 160 Meter Phone
Contest [my last contest seriously entered]).  In 1990 I purchased an
existing commercial two-way radio store (Deremer Radio) from a retiring
owner in Seward, NE.  In 1993 I added the RadioShack franchise to it to
better diversify things.  In 1991 I finally moved to a home near
Seward.  With my 10 acres found (7 still farmed), I planned with the
low bands still as my chief desire.  I decided to build a directional
antenna specifically for 160 meters for the first time.  It has slowly
evolved to a 4 element parasitic vertical array (3 elements are in-line
towards Europe/South Pacific).  Last winter 6 elements were in-line
toward Europe on 80/40M (4 active on 80, all 6 on 40).  That driven
element also works on 30M.  I also have a TH-5 at 88 feet high and a
homebrew six element 17/12 meter Yagi at 56'.  Last winter I had 8 low
band Beverage antennas with azimuths at 8, 30, 43, 86, 140, 261, 323,
and 352 degrees.  My current HF equipment includes:  Kenwood TS-870 and
TS-830S, Ten-Tec Titan amplifier, a homebrew amplifier (w/3 813's),
MFJ-1026 noise filter, Beverage preamp, and many homebrew accessories
such as a 12 position Beverage selection box.  I also have a 17'
collinear 146/445 MHz antenna with its base 90' above ground, a HTX-212
on 2 meters, a Johnson 40 watt commerical UHF radio on 440, a MFJ-1270C
TNC, and 3 computers...

I go by the name Mike and currently live in Norco, CA. I was getting
all set to move to Missouri, so changed my call sign and address, so am
left signing portable 6 until I do move.The significance of the KJM
suffix is the Navy ship I was on had a call of NKJM and I always liked
that call, so it was a natural for me to choose it. I am quite active
in  my ships reunion committee also so the call was chosen because of
that.I hope to be moved by late 1998.  I am a cw operator mostly,
having picked up the hobby from my Navy days as a radio (cw) operator.
Enjoy it immensly, I use an MFJ keyer and it takes an AT keyboard which
will send code for me. I never was a real good sender so have used
keyboards for quite some time. I have no problem copying code. My usual
operting speed runs between 15-25 WPM. I can operate probably as fast
as anyone else who copies by hand, but would prefer to talk to everyone
so hence the slow speeds.  I started hamming in 1961 at station KH6SP
and obtained my novice ticket in 1962 as WN6BCF. I enjoy ham radio
immensly and currently the HF station is a Yaesu FT-990 to a Mosley
TA33 beam on 10-15-20 and a Dipole on 40-80. I am an avid packet user
and have a noded system that gives me acces to San Francisco. I have
many friends in Bakerksfield,CA. which is about 150 miles away, so this
enables me to keep in touch with them.  I have 2 web pages on the

Hello, My name is Paul Allen Schlipp. I was born in St. Louis, Missouri
way back in 1941. I live by myself and operate a two-way radio service
business. I started into ham radio at the age of 16. I became a general
class operator in 1966, obtained the Advanced class license in 1975,
and a First Class Radiotelephone license in 1970.

I was in the Army between 1958 and 1965 working as a nuclear weapons
specialists. When I got out, I went to work in the commercial two-way
radio business, and in 1973 I opened my own sales and service shop.

I went to school, in the fifties, at Normandy, Missouri and in the late
sixties I managed to squeeze in 3 years at the University of Missouri.

In 1970 I organized and started the St. Louis Six Meter Repeater Club.
In 1988 I organized and started the St. Louis Pilots Radio Club. The
general interest in the Six Meter club decayed in the eighties and the
new pilots club never amounted to much.

I am presently active on all bands up to 440 mhz, all modes. I have a
weekly sked every Tuesday morning, at 0730 CST, with K0PJG on 7083 CW.

I have also been interested in flying all my life. I started building
and flying models in 1954 and in 1987 purchased a CESSNA 150 N5913G
(shown in pic) and in 1987 obtained the private pilots license. I
became instrument rated in 1989. I no longer fly due to heart problems
but I had some of my most enjoyable years back in the late 1980's and
early 1990's with my airplane. I still do and enjoy flying RC models.

I have been a nerd for a long time.  I was first licensed as
WN9FCG/WA9FCG in Peoria, IL.  I got my license in 1962 while still in
high school.  I helped form the high school club, WA9HBX.  I kept my
Tech license til 1973 when I upgraded to Advanced class.  That same
year I became KA1BFK.  I opereated a lot of six meters from Central
Maine.  In 1980 I moved to Beale AFB, California and continued to
operate six meters.  From 1982 to 1984 I was HL9SM in Taegu, Korea. I
operated mostly 10 and 15 meters during that time.

In 1984 we returned to the US and I became KD0SU in Colorado Springs.
I mostly operated six and two meters SSB for the first few years here.
In 1981 I upgraded to Extra and started operating HF CW.  Like going
back to my Ham Radio roots I guess.  For the last couple of years it
has been mostly HF QRP work.  I still get on six meters, my favorite
band.  In 1997 vanity got the better of me and I got the call K0SU.
Kind of nice to have on the air, especially CW!

K0UX was first licensed in 1970 as WN0CHP. The original station
consisted of a Heathkit DX-20 crystal controlled CW only transmitter
and a Knightkit R-55A receiver. A 40 meter dipole was used on both 40
and 15 meters. Four crystals for 40 meters and three crystals for 15
meters controlled the seven total frequencies on which the station
could operate. However, all novices were restricted to crystal
controlled transmitters at that time. It was not unusual to have a QSO
with another station who was transmitting several kHz away from your
transmitting frequency. About one year after getting on the air, WN0CHP
upgraded to General Class with an automatic callsign change to WB0CHP.
A few years later, the Advanced Class was achieved. The call was
changed to KB0XX in the late 1970's. After two (or was it three)
unsuccessful attempts, the Extra Class test was finally passed in the
late 1980's. K0UX was obtained in 1996. Most frequent operation is on 2
meter FM, 10 meter SSB, and CW on 40, 20, & 15 meters

Originally licensed as KN0VXU in 1959 in Independence, MO, I have held
K0VXU for nearly 39 years.  As a young man I thoroughly enjoyed
contesting and DXing but, over the years, have tried my hand at several
other areas of amateur radio including rag chewing, handling written
traffic, 2 meter VHF repeater operation, beacon operation on 10 meters,
antenna experimentation, rig building, and packet radio.  My operation
is pretty much evenly divided between CW and SSB.  From April, 1969
through May 1970 I operated on Okinawa as KR6VX and participated in
ARRL and CQWW DX contests on 80-10 meters.  That was just exciting as
being guest op at HZ1AB 25 years later (pileups were tremendous).  I
have been a past member of the Kansas City DX Club, but allowed my
membership to elapse when the children were in high school.  I plan to
renew my affiliation with KCDXC this fall.

In 1971 I returned to the University of Missouri - Rolla to fininsh my
degree in Electrical Engineering where I received a BSEE. I am now
employed by Burns & McDonnell Engineering Co. as a consulting
Telecommunications Engineer.  I am a registered Professional Engineer
in Missouri and Texas and a member of IEEE and the Communications
Society.

In 1972 I was married to Vicki Cole and we now have three grown
children (a daughter graduated from Stephens College and two sons
attend college at K-State and Kansas University).  Vicki and I make our
home in Stilwell, Kansas, a community of about 5,000 people in the
rural surroundings of Kansas City.  When the children were in the Blue
Valley School District, Vicki and I were active in many organizations
such as Booster Club and Bandstand.  All three of our children were
members of the Blue Valley Marching Band.  I am President-Elect of the
Blue Valley Optimist Club of Stanley, Kansas and have served as
Secretary-Treasurer for two terms.

Aside from amateur radio I have caught the Internet bug and hang out on
the info super hi-way.  Bet you never would have guessed!

With the solar cycle on the upswing, the antennas are being refurbished
and shack straightened up in readiness for long hours at the rig during
the winter.  Hopefully, this won't be my last solar cycle.  See you on

Hello - I am K0XJ (formerly AA9DF, N9GQD, and KA9YBS).  I am a 65 yr.
Old retired MD (specialty of anesthesia).  I got into amateur radio ten
years ago with the help of my son-in-law, W3MC.  I have 4 grown
children (two are hams - N9IIC & N9HAO) and 7 grandchildren and one
wife (N9OAR).  We moved to Duluth 3yrs. ago from Ashland, WI which
isn't very far away.   Except that in Ashland I had a 50 ft. tower and
a beam antenna.  I'm now reduced to a Cushcraft R7000 vertical, ground
mounted up near the house (very near the house) so that my DX is
nonexistent, but radio is radio and I have just as much fun to talking
around the USA as overseas. (it's the challenge that counts) My current
rx/tx is a Kenwood 570D which was a great improvement over my Icom
735.  I plan to get a Kachina 505 since that will fit in with my
computer activities - yes, I spend a fair amount of time on the
internet.  I even have a few web pages:
http://members.tripod.com/~k0xj/index.html   and
http://www.qsl.net/k0xj/index.html    and
http://www.angelfire.com/mn/k0xj/index.html These presented quite a
challenge in themselves - a lot of trial and error.  I dare to sail on
Lake Superior and motorcycle about the countryside (Kawasaki 1500).  I
even dared to visit Hong Kong last fall ('97) at the insistence of my
wife.  So far I have limited myself to CW but now what with my internet
experience with voice on the Powwow program I think I will try some
voice on the ham bands.  My ICQ # is 9484768 - and you will see me in
the over 40 group in powwow as k0xj.  Well that's quite enough for
now.    73 & 76      Chuck/K0XJ

Now that you have come this far, you have probably talked to me on the

Thanks for the QSO. I'm not good about sending QSL Cards out first but
will ALWAYS return one. My enjoyment with this hobby is C.W. Don't work
any SSB....Don't care for it....But LOVE C.W. Enjoy working with the
new Hams or anyone who just likes to chat or needs a little practice.
I'll do my best to send at a speed that you can understand. But don't
ask me any Theory questions because I washed that all out of my head
years ago.(Hi) I'm 59 years old...Been a Ham 20 years...Retired Tool

Bio:
I am a native of Broken Arrow which is located in northeastern
Oklahoma.  Upon my entrance into amateur radio I viewed it as a service
and a way to give back to my community. My main objective in Amateur
Radio is enjoyment through public service.  I have been a member of
various organizations since being licensed in the late seventies.

I was originally licensed in 1978 as a novice while serving with the
U.S. Coast Guard and stationed in Keokuk, Iowa. I upgraded to General
Class prior to leaving Keokuk in 1979. I left the Coast Guard to attend
the University of Tulsa.  I was envolved with the Tulsa Repeater
Organization, Broken Arrow ARC, American Airline ARC, and the
University of Tulsa ARC from 1979 through 1984.  I graduated from the
University of Tulsa with a Bachelor of Science in Telecommunications
and re-entered the U.S. Coast Guard in 1984 in St. Louis, MO.  I became
a member of the Egyptian ARC in Granite City, IL and the St. Louis
ARC.  I was transferred to Key West, FL in 1987 where is was a member
of the South Florida FM Association, Key West ARC, and the Florida Keys
ARC. In 1990 I was once again transferred this time to Mobile, AL.  I
became a member of the Mobile ARC and was an officer of the club for
two years.  In 1994 I moved the San Leandro, CA where I was a member of
the San Leandro ARC, San Leandro ARES/RACES and Alamed

I currently reside in Moriches, Long Island, New York...

My amateur radio interests include HF/VHF/UHF operations.  I am
involved with Packet Radio, APRS, Fastscan ATV, and voice modes.

Currently living the urban 11th floor apartment life on Kansas City's
Country Club Plaza.

Active in the Kansas City Amateur Radio Club (kcarc.winning-edge.com)
and can be found on the 146.82 repeater.  Most of the time work 2m and
440, but occasionally fire up the ICOM-730 and run HF by loading up the
external aluminum window flashing under the apartment windows which
happily are about 32-33 feet long and about 100 ft above ground. Not
the best antenna in the world, but it works just enough to produce some
contacts. Use mag mount on a metal cookie sheet for 2meters from the
11th floor (that works like a charm).

Radios: IC-02AT, IC-730, IC-3AT and Kenwood V7A.

Currently work as speech writer/internal marketing coordinator GS-13
for the U.S. General Services Administration in the KC Regional
Office.  In 1996 won Vice President Gore's Hammer Award (for innovation

Have B.A. Degrees in Philosphy and Psychology, from the University of
Missouri 1988, hold an Amateur Extra Class license and spend a lot of
time as webmaster and on computer graphics.  Think annual Field Day is
one of the best Ham Radio experiences ever.

got my first taste for amateur radio as a Mars station operator on my
post. I seen this as a great way to communicate world wide and at an
fairly inexpensive rate. (FREE) The station Operator Rineold (Not sure
if spelt right) gave me all the chances to operate and be on the air.
I enjoyed this very much, and as you can see I am still at it. I got my
License as soon as I got back here to the states.  I am currently a
member of both St. Louis County and Douglas County WI.  Civil Emergency

Just who is Scott Van Aartsen? Well, I guess first, and most
importantly, I would like to live for Christ. Secondly, My family is a
big part of my life.  My parents, Bernie and Tillie Van Aartsen are one
of the biggest influences in my life. My brother Doug,
"pastordoug@acsnet.com" is one of my mentors, as is my sister Sandy,
"dltbgyd@mtcnet.net" Doug and his wife Sharon live in Ireton, Iowa,
serving as Pastor of the First Reformed Church; and Sandy and her
husband Lee Van Veldhuizen live in Sioux Center, Iowa, and own
Cooperative Credit Company. Both Ireton and Sioux Center are fairly
close to our home town, Rock Rapids, Iowa. My friends are also
important to me. My best friend is Jana De Yong.
("camaro-angel@juno.com") We grew up together here in Rock Rapids, so
we've known each other for a long time. Once and for all, we ARE NOT
DATING. =)

OK, enough with the philosophical level of who I am, how about my
hobbies. Well, that's pretty easy. My big love is for RADIO of all
types.  I have been a monitor of VHF/UHF and short-wave since high
school. (Central Lyon High, in Rock Rapids) My principal monitoring
targets have been police/public safety communications as well as
business communication. When I was going to school, I worked part-time
for a couple commercial radio stations in my area: K101/KQAD in
Luverne, MN; and KVDB/KTSB (now KSOU) in Sioux Center, IA. I did
everything from program the computer to answer phones, to disk jockey,
to write news. I'm into computers (as if you couldn't tell) and that
interest is what's got me my last job as a Technical Support
Professional at Gateway 2000's Sioux Falls facility, in Southeast South
Dakota.

I started working for K101/KQAD again in August, 1997, as their News
Director, and Webmaster! I love it!

Also, it is another one of my dreams to own my own personal
communication products store, selling cellphones, radios, etc.

About my education: I have a Bachelor's degree in Communications
Studies, and a "discipline concentration" in computer science from
Northwestern College in Orange City, Iowa.

Hello everyone, thanks for checking me out.  As you can tell from the
picture, I love airplanes.  The airplane above is a 1946 Taylorcraft
BC-12D.  It is a fun little airplane that I've owned with my father for
a few years now.  It sure is a change to come home and fly it after
being use to the higher performance models like the Pipers and
Beechcrafts I've flown.  This little joy requires the pilot to get out
and hand prop it to start.  It can be a bear to fly at times but I sure
had fun flying it to Oshkosh in 1997.  What an adventure!

Anyway, in case you're wondering I'm a college student who attends the
University of Dubuque in Dubuque Iowa.  I'm majoring in flight
operations and currently hold a flight instructors rating.  Recently
(summer of 98) I've gotten into flying lighted night signs and
banners.  It's a little risky but with proper precautions and training
it can be done safely.  I can't wait to tell my friends about it back
at school!

Well, I should throw out my interests before I end this.  I love
airplanes, radios, and computers.  I would have to say that aviation is
my first love but electronics definitely fascinate me.  I'm relatively
new to radio but I'm loving every minute of it.  Keep up with the hobby
and don't be afraid to try something new!  73's everyone......

The Prairie Hills Repeater Association is a small club that supports
Ham Radio Operations in North West North Dakota. The PHRA was founded
in the Spring of '89 by Jim Aho / KB0CIR, who was President/CEO of the
PHRA until '95, at which time he chose not to run again for President
and became PHRA Secretary/Treasurer. John Enander / K0GGH became the
second PHRA President. KB0CIR Has been the Club Station Trustee Since
the PHRA's founding.

In 1996 the PHRA was reorganized and New Elections were held. All of
the incumbants were reelected, with the exception of Treasurer. KB0CIR
chose not to run for that office again and a new Treasurer was
elected.

The offices are 4 Year Terms concurrent with US Presidential
Elections.

The PHRA currently has 14 Members over a 4 county area and currently
supports the 146.610- Repeater near Stanley. However, Plans are to have
a 2 Meter Repeater up in Burke County as well as a 440 Repeater at the
same site as the .61 Repeater, in the near Future.

The Anual PHRA Club Picnic is held the Second Sunday in June. Hams from
all over North Dakota, as well as Canada have attended in the past.

Each fall, the PHRA operates The KB0YGP Club Station on HF and VHF with
Local Scouts  for the JOTA.


The current PHRA Officers are:

President:       John Enander / K0GGH

Vice President:  Art Langved / K0CQQ

Secretary:       Jim Aho / KB0CIR

Treasurer:       Pat Aho / KB0FJM

I finally took the plunge into the wonderful world of amateur radio
after taking Skywarn certification in 1996.  My husband, WA0BOF, has
been a ham since he was 14, with time off for Vietnam.  He encouraged
me to be one, too, first by buying me a scanner one year for my
birthday, and then, when I decided I wanted to talk back to those I
heard, helped me study for my no-code tech. When I wanted to upgrade,
he reminded me of code practice, and hooked up a code practice
oscillator to insure my success. In return, I helped my husband with
building our antenna system. I also owe a certain debt to the guy I
went with all throughout college. I absorbed a good deal of knowledge
from just being around him (he taught me to solder), and it helped me
when I decided to get my radio licenses.

My main interest remains public service.  I have both basic and
advanced Skywarn certificates, and I hold RACES membership.  We are
equipped to deploy to the nearest hospital in case disaster strikes
with mobile setups in both the 4WD and my car. We are active in the
K9KE Magic Net group meeting in nearby Godfrey, IL.

I also help my husband stay organized with his 20-meter projects, and I
keep track of all of our QSL cards.  My next goals are to continue to
upgrade my licenses, and to work all states.  I'm currently on 10
meters when it's open, 28.345 or so. 73 to all.

Occupation:  college administrator at Morrison Institute of Technology
and part-time engineering consultant.

hobbies:  amateur radio (of course) - I run QPR mostly; reading,
especially non-fiction science related literature; I have had a few
technical pieces published so I can make a very tenuous claim to being
a writer of sorts; music, both listening and playing.

QTH:  Grid EN41; I live alongside the Mississippi River on the Iowa
side. If you look at a map of Iowa, on the right side is a bump that
sticks out.  I live where the bump sticks out the most.

Usual Bands:  CW on 15 meters, especially 21.120 to 21.150 Mhz where
the code is a little slower, and both CW and phone on 10 meters.  I
occassionally work CW on 6 meters, but its very quiet on the CW side of
6 meters.  It would be nice to have some more company there.  I haven't
set up for 40, 80 or 160 meters yet because I haven't yet figured out
how to fit the larger antennas into my attic.  I run 10 and 15 meter
dipoles in parallel so that the 10 meter acts as a director for the 15,
and the 15 acts as a reflector for the 10.  Sort of a poor man's two
element beam.

I am one of a vanishing breed, a native Coloradan. I was born Oct 8,
1941 in Springfield, CO and have lived most of my life in the southeast
corner of the state. My family moved to Lamar in 1954 and I have lived
here most of the time since then. I tried Pueblo and Denver but keep
coming back to the small town life style.

My hobbies include Amatuer Radio, computers, and guns. Not much of a
hunter but I enjoy punching holes in paper from long distances.  At
present I have .380 ACP, .45 ACP, .22, .22 Winmag,
.223, .270 Win and a 50 cal Hawkin in firing condition. I have
an 8X57 Turkish Mauser I am sportsterizing and a TC 54 cal Hawkin kit I
am building. I also enjoy reloading for the above.

My computers include a 300 Pentium II, 120 Pentium, 120 486 for packet
and a 40 meg 386 penbase sub-notebook for portable packet.  For radios
I like them all. I have HF, VHF, and UHF in dependable solid state
rigs. Then I have the really fun stuff that glows in the dark like
700CX, 500C, 350C Swans, a Drake TR-4, and a NC-300 with a Johnson
Viking Ranger.

To support all this fun stuff and my 14 year old son, Paul, I drive a
truck for a contract carrier hauling mail for the U.S.  Postal Service.
I drive the last leg of a relay run that starts in Memphis, TN and goes
to Denver. I run from Lamar, CO to Denver, CO and return each day. This
way I get to sleep in my own bed every night and have regular days off
so I don't have to neglect the hobbies.

I am retiring this year and my wife and I are planning to become
snowbirds.  My wife has lived in Alaska for forty years and I have
lived in Alaska for twenty-nine years.  The winters here in Fairbanks
are just to long and to dark for us.  I am interested in radio
controlled model building and flying.  As I just got my Technican
license,  I'm not sure where my Ham license will take me.  We plan to
travel outside (to the lower 48) this August and will return to Alaska
in March of 1999. I am also interested in computers and will be
traveling with a laptop in our 34 foot Allegro Bay Pusher.  We will
also tow our Jeep for short runs.

My transceiver consists of a 1977-vintage Kenwood 820S into a half wave
20 meter dipole up 3 meters.  It is so low that it acts as a vertical
and with this $3 antenna I've confirmed over 200 countries, though at
times it can be frustrating!

I was born in New York City in 1950 but later moved to the more
relaxing Midwest.  My wife is Lindsay Nauen from South Dakoa; we have
been together since in 1974 and our boys are Noah and Ben.  Lindsay is
a librarian-accountant; I'm primarily educated as a geographer, but now
teach math and science at a vocational-technical school.  I have
attended Wisconsin, Drexel, and Rutgers Universities.

My interests include flying (private pilot, airplane and glider),
electronics (A+ computer technician, and picked up all the FCC
commercial licenses), reading history and science-fiction, and travel.
I have made several overseas trips, including a year-long overland from
Europe to Nepal, and then on to Australia, and through all of Latin
America--but that was before I had a family and a career!

Thanks for your interest.  Good luck in your own activities.  I hope to
meet you on the air!

Hi, thanks for checking my biography.

My name is Dave ( the Henry bit was my parents' idea; not mine).

I have two callsigns - the one you've just found is my UK license m0bgr
and the other is my US licence kc2dgm. This is because I am working in
US and the Alien Recipricol permit rules don't let me do what I want
to, so I sat down and took the US General ticket.

I work QRP for both London and Nyack,NY. On 2m and 70 cm, FM,I use a
Yaesu FT-50 hand held and on HF an SGC sg-2020, usually CW and usually
at around 5W QRP. Both locations are 'challenging' from the antenna
point of view ( basically they are banned in both places).  Getting any
sort of signal out at all is difficult, so please be be patient when
you work me - QRP is tough with clandestine antenna !

A few words about N0NYO:

N0NYO, (aka Joe Brandt) has been involved with ham radio since 1972,
when some kind soul donated 40 years worth of QST magazines to my
school. The library didn't have the space to keep them, so they were
offered to the students for free. I ended up with about half of them. I
studied every word, every diagram. I was hooked.  Now I have my
electrical engineering degree, and employed at the National Radio
Astronomy Observatory.

I was first licensed as a Technician Plus, and quickly found that I

licensed as Amateur Extra Class in 1993.  My initial interest in radio
was sparked by my Father, who for over 40 years was an Electronic
Technician, but was never licensed due to a total loss of his hearing,
and a family acquaintance, Bill Peters, W0OLM (SK).  From November 1982
to September 1996, I served the community of Red Oak, Iowa as a Police
Officer, attaining the rank of Detective.  In September of 1996, I
began employment with the Des Moines, Iowa Police Department as an
Identification Technician, where I and other Technicians of the
Identification Section perform Crime Scene Investigations.  Prior to my
employment with the City of Red Oak, I served small communities as a
Police Officer.  These communities were very small one man
departments.  I am also currently serving the Iowa Division of the
International Association for Identification as President.  I have
recently completed a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice, and have
completed other extensive training courses in various areas of the
Forensic Sciences.  I currently live in the beautiful small city of

hopefully, will be burning up the air in the near future!

Ham radio is one of the worlds greatest hobbies. I have been in the

with a technician no code lisence and now have a general class
lisence.  My favorite thing mainly on ham radio is into the hf bands
and my favorite mode is cw. The equipment that I am currently using is
a Yaesu Ft-840 thru a G5RV. The main thing that got me going in the
hobby was when my grandmother let me borrow her scanner one day. I got
a list of local frequencies from one of my teacher at school the very
next day, programmed them all in. The list of frequencies had the
2-meter ham band on it and so I programmed that in and been hooked ever
since. Well the hobby has done one thing to me and that is it has given
me alot of self esteem, I would suggest this hobby to any young
person.

My name is Nico. I was born in 1939, and i am a licensed radio amateur
since 1968.

For hobby i am a designer and builder of HAM-radio equipment. I did a
lot of CW on the shortwave bands. At this moment i have no antennas for
them, but a nice kenwood TS570D is waiting to be used. I am a regular
foxhunter (the real sports-variant ARDF) in The Netherlands, Belgium
and Germany, using own designed antenna and receivers. As i have no car
anymore (jobless), i always go together with other hams to those
competitions.

Both repeaters in Rotterdam (The Netherlands) are modified and put in
service by me (they are "clubstations"). For the 2m repeater i designed
a cheap, easy build an tuned 2m-duplexfilter (see my home-site).

Furtheron i did a lot of photowork an dual and super 8 mm filming in
the old days. Thats why i like to make pictures and put them on my
Internet-site. At this moment my 10Mb at xs4all.nl are used completely,
HI. Recently i purchased a simple and very cheap 640x480 digital
camera. Allthough the resolution is resticted, and i like my
mirror-reflex camera more, the possibilities of the
enhancement-software, especially with respect to gamma and
hue-adjustments are far better then when using the "wet-method" for
devellopping photos in the old days.

When you are interested in (photos of) repeaters, radio-amateur
building projects, photos of amateur activities (ARDF), from Holland,
or in GARDENING (my sister+husband are a gardening-slaves with a
flowergarden of abt. 4000 m2), then visit my Internet-site: (

Hello all HAM friends!

I was born in Stockholm on January 1 1944, together with my twin
brother Leif, SM7EQX. Our interest in radio started at the age of 12
with listening for short wave BC stations and by using WW2 surplus
radios. I received my license in 1971 and was very active for 10 years,
mostly on VHF and UHF. Nowadays I am more of a listener because of my
modest radio setup (TS-50S, LW antenna and FT-51R). I am a board member
of SK0CC nearby my QTH in Jordbro, located 20 km SE of Stockholm City.
SK0CC is a very well equipped HAM club station with an impressing 17 el
log periodic antenna (6-30 MHz) on top of a 30 m tower.

My early interest in radio made my choice of profession easy, more than
30 years involvement with design and development of radio & TV
broadcast networks. Now actively involved in building the first Swedish
nationwide digital terrestrial broadcast networks (DAB and DVB-T).
Please visit http://www.teracom.se.

Among my other interests are bird watching, picking mushrooms in the
forests, digital photography and recently golf. The QSL card showing a
FIAT Barchetta sports car - with Teracoms Kaknas Tower in Stockholm in
the background - is borrowed by "permission" from my wife Annette.

See you down the log!

My name is Eric and my call is SM0JSM (formerly SM6JSM) and I am also
known as EA8TY (also ED8TY).

I was born October 20th, 1945, in Buenos Aires, Argentina.  In 1949 we
moved to Sweden where I stayed until 1967 when I went to Las Palmas,
Canary Islands, to work for a few months.  Well, those months were
eventually extended to seventeen years...  I worked in the ship repair
business. I got interested in radio already in 1957; learned the morse
code in the military service and was on my way to get a license when I
moved to the Canaries.

In the late seventies I got a Swedish and a Spanish license and could
finally start to work the HF bands. Was fairly active as EA8TY (some
15000 QSOs) but in 1982 we moved back to Sweden, where I am still
living. I have got two grown-up kids, a cat and an XYL, and we are
living in a house just 20 km northeast of Stockholm.  I am trying to
work all the major contests with my rig and R-7000.

I started my own accounting company in -84 and was happily working with
that until last year when I saw an ad in our ham magazine QTC.  SSA
looked for an office manager... I applied and got the job!

So here I am working all day with my hobby -and even get paid!  Truth
is, I have less time now for hamming, but love to talk to other hams
all the time and to help getting interested persons on the right track
to a license.

Hope to cu on HF - and if you pass Stockholm please call SSA
(08-6044005 or from a foreign country +46 8 6044005) or e-mail!

Other interests are DX-ing (BC bands) and travelling. I have been to
all 48 continental states by car and would love to do it all over
again!  See you in Dayton 1999 AND 2000!

radio horizon on the upper HF bands, and has a high angle of radiation
(to get over the mountains) on the lower bands.

an antique station using a DX 100 and a Hallicrafters SX110. This is
the station used on CW. I also use a Yaesu FT990 for sideband and my
digital operations. The 990 is also used each field day (2 years) for
40 cw. It has worked flawlessly for the last 2 contests.  I am on the

I've been licensed since November 11th, 1975 when I received my novice
ticket.  My dad (Tom - WA0UJZ - Silent Key) gave me all the support I
needed to pass the code and theory back then when I was 13 years old.
I worked CW using a Heathkit HW-8 QRP transceiver and a Heathkit
electronic keyer that I assembled.  I really enjoyed hooking my rig up
to some lantern batteries and throwing a 15 meter dipole up between two
trees in the park or at our cabin.  Back in the mid to late '70s, 15
meters was frequently very usable.

Even when I passed the General exam, I still favored CW, but am now
mostly on RTTY.  Today, using my dad's Kenwood TS-440S-AT and a 20/40
meter dipole, Blaster TeLetype software and my PC sound card, I enjoy
getting on 20 meter RTTY.  The last couple of nights, I've had QSOs
with stations in Hawaii, Brazil, France, Colombia and New Zealand using
only 40+ watts.

I am Manager of Telecommunications and Networking at a nearby insurance
company here in Omaha, Nebraska.  I'm married and have one
nine-year-old son.

I'm joining the amateur radio activities from 1984, and starting with a
new callsign, that is YD0FTD (beginner class),and at 1993 I was up-
graded my licence class to general class and had a new preffix (YC0).

After 5 years with YC0FTD, Now I'm changing it to a new suffix callsign
until May 27th 1998.  That is " Yankee Charlie Zero Alpha Zulu ( YC0AZ

I love amateur radio very much, and my favourite ham activities is

Also, I've a lot of hobbies like computer sciences, photographics,
stamps collecting and watching movies.

By the way, after graduated from National Institue of Science and

In the Ham World my name is "Boysan". The name Boy is usually use with
a second name to distinguish it from other Boys. SAN are my initials
and at the same time my callsign suffix. From this two names came my
radio name "Boysan".

I was licensed October 16, 1971 and had been on the Amateur Radio hobby
since then. I was involved in DXing and Contesting with my club station
DX1A and was able to set up a modest HF station only in the early 90s.
I got my station DU1SAN involved in some of the major contest starting
1994 and had been around up to this date.  Im active on SSB, RTTY and
SSTV only in 20 meters. I have yet to install my Mosley Pro 96 to get
into the other bands  and a yagi for 6 meters.

Sincerity, honesty and the willingness to help and assist  fellow
amateurs are the qualities of a good ham. The capacity to perform the
duties and responsibilies in the attainment of his goals and objectives
earns him the respect of the amateur community and the society to which
he belongs.

Amateur radio is a hobby which can bring enjoyment depending on the
scale you want to reach. Sharing our skill and experience can be a
great motivation for those who are beginning in this hobby.

To my fellow hams whom I had QSOs and QSLs with under my regular call
DU1SAN and special calls 4D63SAN (63rd Anniversary of the Philippine
Amateur Radio Association, Inc.) and presently DU100SAN (Philippine
Centennial, 100 Years of Philippine Independence), its a pleasure
working you and would be happy to have QSOs with you in the other bands
and perhaps to meet you personally. I say,  "MABUHAY" which means "Long
Live" and best of health to you and your family.

73, DU1SAN "Boysan"

 For QSLing please use my Postal Box address. Bureau is also okey but
takes time. QSLs via residence address is not realiable.  I don't use a

Hi, my name is Michael.

I was born in Nuernberg (Nuremberg), Germany, and I received my first
license in Germany in 1980, callsign DG1NAJ. In 1985, I graduated from
the Georg-Simon-Ohm School of Engineering with an advanced degree in
Communications Engineering (Diplom-Ingenieur Nachrichtentechnik). A few
years later, in 1988, I moved to the United States, where I got
married. We have two wonderful children.

Beverly, Massachusetts is located about 20 miles north of Boston, right
on the North Atlantic coast. I have been here since I moved to the
U.S., and this is truly my favorite place to live. I have lived in
several places in Germany, and traveled through many European countries
and more than half of the states, so I feel qualified to compare. One
of my family's favorite places is Lynch Park, which has two beaches
and, very important, two playgrounds and an ice cream stand.

For ham radio, I still find construction and experimenting most
satisfying. Any special modes, such as ATV (FSTV and SSTV), RTTY,
satellites, are of particular interest. Making a few points on a good
contest weekend, or catching a new DX country is a lot of fun, too.

Dennis and a friend were first introduced to ham radio by a local
newspaper article..."If you're interested in ham radio...call."  I
called the local telephone number and was told to meet at Nashua's
Spring Street Junior High.  I loved radio then and I love it even more
now.  I have been active on all bands with most modes.  The latest mode
of love is QRP and the New England QRP Club gave me the urge to build
again.  The "Excitemnt is building" is the pun-logo for the New England
QRPers.  Is there no end to this wonderful hobby?  72/73 from

Radio is Fun.... our first exposure to the magic of short wave radio
was through an old floor model Philco radio with a short wave band.
This was in the late '30s to early '40s.  We read about amateur radio
and learning the code in Popular Mechanics magazine. Studied and
learned the code before we found a ham to give us the Novice test,
issued WN1GDB in 1955. Biggest kick was working across the pond to "G"
land. It is still a kick.  Then as a guest of the US Government, into
the US Army, trained as a radio op, 18 WPM. This got the code speed up
to 18+ WPM...Upgraded to W1GDB while in the Army. When out of the Army
upgraded to Extra.  The present call, K1VV, was issued in 1977 when the
Extra class two letter blocks were gradually released to Extra class
licensees..  In 1978 we were involved with the 75th Anniversary Special
Event Station celebrating Guglielmo Marconi's 1903 first two way radio
transmission between Cape Cod and Poldhu,England. The special event
call was KM1CC. We sent greetings from then President Jimmy Carter,
President Leone of Italy and Marconi's daughter Gioa Marconi Braga.
Since 1988 International Marconi Day has been celebrated annually in
the month of April, Marconi's birth month, by over 40 stations
worldwide representing historic Marconi station locations. W1AA,
Marconi Radio Club represents the 1903 Marconi Station on Cape Cod. See
W1AA Bio.  On May 9,1997 the call W1BB was issued to the Stew Perry
Memorial Radio Club. See Bio on W1BB. We are the trustee for both W1AA
& W1BB.  Our Home station consists of a TS-850/AL-1200 Amp/Rohn 68 ft
foldover, Mosley PRO67 40-10 yagi, inverted Vees for 80/160, and
vertical 30 meter dipole hung off the tower. With 6 & 2 meter yagis at
75 & 80 ft.  On 160 an elevated inverted "L" with 18 radials 135 ft
long. Also a 580 ft Beverage receiving ant pointing to the NE to
Europe. Club memberships include YCCC, Marconi Radio Club, Stew Perry
Memorial Radio Club and USS Salem Radio Club. Ran mobile CW for the
last 20 years while commuting.  We retired in July 98 from a varied
career path, engineering and design US Naval warships and submarines,
nuclear and fossil fuel power plants, and lastly from a large
investment company in Boston where we were employed as a stock broker
and financial advisor.  Radio is still fun after 40+ years....and
always will be...CQ DX ....

Hi !  My name is Peter Q. George (K1XRB).  I am located in Whitman,
Massachusetts, just about 25 miles south of Boston.  I have been what
many people would call a "radio junkie", for over 30 years.  My first
introduction to Amateur Radio occured when I was 11 years old.  I had
already been a SWL since the age of 7.  One night in 1971, I was moving
up and down the 80 meter band and heard some very strong AM signals, in
and around the area of 3885 kHz.  It was not the "quack, quack, quack"
sound of SSB, but rather the full "broadcast quality" sound of AM.  I
was hearing a QSO between W3RB and W2DSN.  I was amazed with the arm-
chair quality of the QSO.  I did a little homework and got the home
address of W3RB (Mr. Robert L. Bomboy of Harrisburg, PA).  I sent him a
report and was quickly rewarded with a QSL card.  You could imagine how
proud I felt getting that first QSL.  I continued to listen to 3885 for
many years, hearing the famous WA1HLR (Timmy "Timtron" Smith) and his
crew on the "Big '8-5".  I wanted to get in on the fun, myself.  I
studied the code and the theory for years.  It wasn't until my friend
and mentor, WA1MNQ (Mike Valente from Massachusetts) gave me the
incentive to take my test and know the code that I finally passed the
exam in 1985.  I got my license in August, 1985 and was assigned the
call-letters KA1NHJ.  I later on took my Technician's exam and sure
enough, PASSED !  I got my call-sign changed to N1GGP.  Finally, I
became a General in 1993.  Now with the Vanity Call Sign Program in
full swing I thought it was the time to give my station a proper
"name".  Bob "Wolfman Jack" Smith has always been a "hero" of mine,
ever since I got the "DJ" bug in 1973 with "American Graffiti"  It is
with pleasure that my station be named K1XRB, in honor of the late
Wolfman Jack and his legendary "Southern California Giant" radio
station, X-E-R-B.  He was the greatest and so is Amateur Radio. It is a
hobby that I will NEVER outgrow.  73 de K1XRB.

Hello fellow hams.  My name is Raymond Makul.  Relevant data is that I
was born in 1947, was originally licensed as WV2WXV in early 1962 and
upgraded to General, with my call changing to WA2WXV (when General
meant full privileges) late that year.  After being active for about
three and a half years, college and competing interests resulted in my
going long term QRT, and my license lapsed in 1968.  However, I got
interested in short wave listening again about 1978, and began
collecting advanced commercial receivers, such as RACAL and Harris.

The Internet rekindled my interest in ham radio.  I went to a hamfest
in March 1997 and was hooked once again.  Came back as an Extra in
April 1997 and went for a vanity call.  I spend a significant amount of
time in Massachusetts, and operate out of Barre Massachusetts as a
secondary QTH.  My long term plans are to move to Massachusetts full
time, and so my vanity call region is based on where I plan to be
going, and not where I am or used to be.  My QSL card is the Hoosac
Tunnel, a rail tunnel near the Massachusetts QTH.  I like to go there
to escape from the rest of the world.

I am presently a semi-retired self employed attorney.  Amateur radio
resulted in my getting an Electrical Engineering undergraduate degree.
In my practice, I concentrate on matters involving public utilities,
and environmental/economic issues.

So I hope to work many of you in the future.  73 and good luck to all,

Ray, K1XV

QRP. I enjoy using my Oak Hills Research OHR 100A 40 meter QRP rig

resulting infection is hard to cure. I also use a Ten-Tec Omni C (which
I now run with reduced drive for less than 5 watts out). My antenna is

I was born August 4, 1940 in Norway, Michigan. I grew up in Norway and
Vulcan, small communities in the Upper Peninsula (U.P.) of Michigan. I
enlisted in the Navy in 1959 as a recruit in their Nuclear Power
Program and served aboard the USS Piper (SS409), a WWII submarine, for
one year and aboard the USS Seawolf (SSN575), the second nuclear
submarine of the US Navy, for three years. The remainder of my 6 year
enlistment was spent in Navy schools.

I married the former Bernadette Cyr, of VanBuren, Maine in 1965 and
have four wonderful children and two grandchildren.

After completing my navy enlistment I joined the staff of the
Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Company in Haddam Neck, Connecticut as
a member of the Operations Department. After almost 30 years of working
for the power company I retired and returned to my old stomping grounds
in the U.P. of Michigan.

passed the Technician upgrade in July.  He operates mostly in VHF/UHF
on a FT-530, FT-50, DJ-F1T, and DR-130, sometimes all at once!
Occasionally he gets a chance to warm up the old TS-520 and pull in
some 40/80-meter CW or some 10-meter phone when the sun allows.  His
ham radio goals are to finally hit a reasonable CW speed (and be able
to understand Hans, WA1UFO), and to drive around the country with N1QFY
and work all contiguous US repeaters.

Peter graduated from Kennett High School in Conway, NH in 1995 and has
attended 3 years of college at the New Hampshire Technical Institute,
studying electronics and computers.  He will finish in May 1999 with a
degree in computer engineering.  After a one-semester internship in
spring of '98, he was offered a job.  He is now employeed at the
systems integration company in Portsmouth, NH, where he now lives.  His
jobs include programming programmable logic controllers and operator
interfaces, and network administration.  He also does private work as a
web master of various sites.  Other employment has included: the Mt.

Hobbies away from radio include aeronautics, biking, and playing music
(percussion).  He enjoys listening to all kinds of music, specifically
big band/swing and classical.  He has been a percussionist since the

Bio:
I've always been interested in radio.  In my younger days, I was an
avid 11m user, and even payed to have my father get a CB callsign when
you needed a license to operate...  it was KFY8027.

At that time, I heard about the bigger better Amateur Radio type
operations, and began to look into it, but was discouraged by the long
drive to either Boston or Gettysburg to take the test, and eventually
let it drop.  11 year olds have limited access to that type of travel.

27 years pass.

In July, 1997, I was at Boy Scout summer camp with my son, when I heard
that there would be a HAM radio demo in the Ham Shack on Tuesday
evening.  I went down to the shack, and met AA1DI.  Noone else came
down that evening, so I spent about 2 hours learning about the changes
in the testing structure that has happened in the last 27 years or so,
and was pleased to find out about monthly testing at a local hospital
auditorium.  I was also told about "Now You're Talking", which I
purchased within the next week.

In the next couple of weeks, I had little time to read the book, but
during the first week of August, I was on a trip to Fort A.P. Hill, in
Virginia to attend the 1997 National Boy Scout Jamoboree.  Because I
was not driving, I had plenty of time to look over the book, and
planned to take my Technician test the end of August when the local VE
team met.

While at the Jamboree, I happened across the K2BSA operation.  While
there, I was approached by one of the staff that I could operate if I
had my license.  I replied that I was just learning and he told me that
they were giving the license test the next morning.  "Wouldn't you like
to say that you got your first test at the '97 Jamboree?".  He was
reeling me in at this point.

I passed my Tech test there, got my Tech Plus at the end of the month,
and tested as often as I could.  I passed my 20 W.P.M to complete my
EXTRA class just 350 days after that first test.

I hope to continue mixing both my favorite hobbies, Scouting and
Hamming, by trying to do special events like JOTA for the Scout Camp
and being a Radio merit badge counselor.

Hello from Tewksbury, MA.

My name is Rolf Seichter, call KE1Y, and I was born in Berlin, Germany,
in December 1943. I graduated in 1968 with a MS Degree in RF
Electronics and moved to Munich, got married, and started my first job
with Rohde & Schwarz, a famous company in RF Electronics.

2 years later, somebody at Rohde & Schwarz told me about Digital
Equipment, an upcoming, fast growing computer manufacturer. To make a
long story short, I started working for them in 1970, was transferred
to Maynard, MA in 1976 and have been here in the US since, residing in
Tewksbury, MA. You might hear a son of mine, Chris, KA1SWF, from time
to time on te higher frequencies.

I got the first HAM license in 1977 and upgraded to Extra in 1981, just
because of peer pressure, especially on my favorite 80M DX portion of
the 80M Band.

I thought I might throw in the above picture, showing close friends of
mine, who also love 80M DXing, especially Rob VY2ROB, Krassy K1LZ, Dave
WB1S , and myself. The picture was taken right after the latest
Rochester HAM FEST. We can help you with info on antennas etc. for 80M,
another good source is ON4UN's book. For more info, please check my web
page through QRZ, the finest data base for HAM's.

You can meet us 80M Dx'ers almost every evening, around 3790 +/-
somewhere in the 80M DX window. Hope to meet you soon in the pile
up's.

My interest in radio goes back to the mid 1960's, when I got my first
swl receiver, an old Graymark radio.  The night was November 9, 1965
and I was listening to 75 meters when it happened.  For those on the
East Coast this date you should remember; the Great Blackout of 1965.
After that, radio was in my blood.  I was first licensed in 1967 as
WN1HFE. Unfortunately at that time I didn't upgrade and was out of ham
radio for a number of years.  In 1974 I again was a Novice with the
call of WA1UOX and in 1976 I upgraded to General.  I got my old call,
WA1HFE, back in the late seventies and didn't upgrade again until
February of 1984 when I got my Advanced.  In August of 1984 I got my
Extra and my present call, KW1V.  I like to check into traffic nets,
the WAS nets on 75 & 40M and dabble with packet radio.  I also run a
Yaesu FT-7B in my car while I deliver the local newspaper in the wee
hours of the morning.  My home station consists of a Drake T4XC & R4C
and a dipole antenna.  That has worked quite well for me.  I also use
when needed a Yaesu FT-2100B amp.  My other intersets are amateur
astronomy, following the space program, sci-fi reading and spending
time with my 10 year old son.  I work at Madrigal Audio Labs, Inc. in

It's a new and Modern  and special Antenna farm with experimental

composed of : (LU3FZW)Dr.PACENZA, JUAN; (LU5FHM) PALEOLOGO, JOSE and

stacked antenna systems for competition, which required a lot of

and discussion, we started the installation in december 1995 and now
our once dreamed 2 has. Private Antenna Field in ROSARIO City ,
ARGENTINA,  has become a reality.  "BAD POWER (LT1F)" has modern and
innovative antenna systems, being the first in Argentina to use this
kind of phased stacked arrays for HF.  The achievement of excelent
results and big satisfacion among members has raised the curiosity of
the big ham-radio operator family.

Hello,

I'm a UK Class B operator, licensed on June 26th, 1998 and am working 2
metres both FM and SSB as well as 70cms (FM only) and 6 metres (SSB
only).

Gear is mainly ex-PMR equipment and home-made aerial system as well as
receivers.

Eventually I want to get onto HF as soon as I pass my CW exam and look
forward to working QRP.

Also a packet system is slowly being assembled - as soon as I finished
'mod-ing' an ex-PMR set and scraping together a PC !

I hope you like the photo on my QSL.  I have a total of over 2500 hours
in P-3A's, P-3B's and P-3C's in the US Naval Air Reserve. I retired in
August, 1993 out of my home Naval Air Station at NAS South Weymouth,
MA.

I have a total of 27 years in the US Navy and US Naval Reserve.  I
spent the first eight years as a Communications Technician (CT), then
the remaining 19 years as a Aviation Acoustic Sensor Technician (i.e.,
AW).  My QSL card had a special block on the back indicating if I had
worked you Aeronautical Mobile.

If you feel you have worked me as an Aeronautical Mobile before, but
have not received a card, please send another card.  I strongly adhere
to the 'You Have To Give One To Get One' for A/M's. A SASE is a
necessity.  Otherwise, postage would be too expensive because of the
hundreds of contacts I confirm.  I only have a few cards left, and you
HAVE to be in my log to qualify.  My QSL's usually gave position,
altitude, and speed at the time of the QSO.

Presently, I work as a Senior Research Technician at Battelle Memorial
institute, at their Duxbury branch, doing Marine research.  My job is
to repair and maintain instruments and navigation gear, as well as
coming up with the odd 'brainstorm' idea.  Work can be fun and
frustrating at the same time.  It sure isn't a 9-to-5 job, but its
fun.

I'm a tractor-trailer driver who has found amateur radio and I'm
hooked. To all those single ladies in amateur radio I am 36 yr. old
bachelor who's always looking.


I've recently finished converting a GE mastr2 radio into a 6 meter
repeater. The conversion was easier than I had at first anticipated.  I
now have two more Mastr2's I'm converting to the 6 meter band.  The
original repeater is now on Carpenter hill in Walpole, NH at 1475' in
Grid FN33TA and it's working just fine. The frequency is 53.430/52.430
with an 88.5 pl encode/decode. It's precise location is Latitude 43
degrees 02 minutes 00 seconds North, Longitude 72 degrees 22 minutes 15
seconds West. The antenna is a Diamond DPGH-62 vertical about 15' above
the ground and the power out is about 80 watts. It reaches well into
central Massachusetts in the Connecticut river valley. Maybe now I'll
get daring and try another one, maybe 2 meter?


I have done a little with the amateur satellites. I miss Oscar 13! I
can't wait for Phase 3D. I'm ready for it are you? I also made a MIR
contact in the spring of 1995. I like recording Newsline off of the net
for playback on a local repeater as well as volunteering for public
service events. I like search and rescues especially, they give me a
chance to get out meet people and search through the woods on foot.
Transmitter hunts are a lot of fun too! Is there anything I don't like
about ham radio? Yeah... conceited snobs!

A pleasant good day to you from Dave at N1WAY I was first licensed in
1960 as KN1IQF.  I tried for my General ticket but did not pass the
test after a few months operating on the air.  Then it was off to
college, the service, marriage, kids, kids college, career etc etc. The
summer of 1995, I met a ham who had been a ham for about 40 years, we
chatted while he stayed at the motel that my wife and I operate in
Mystic, CT.  He took me out to see the rig he and his wife had in his
pickup.  It was as small as a CB radio, and he fired it up and within
minutes was chatting with another ham in Quito, Ecuador.  This really
excited me, and I was hooked again.  For the next few months, I studied
code and theory and took the exam in October 1995.  I passed the exams
and became a Tech Plus.  In May of 1998 I passed my General tests.  Now
I am down on 20 Meters and having a lot of fun.  Most nights I can be
found on 14.319 or 14.327 working with a couple of missionary nets.
This is really what I got back into radio for.  Others had used Ham
Radio to pass phone patches for me in the past, now I can sort of pay
back what was given to me.  If you share a similar interest, e-mail me,
snail-mail me, or meet me on 20 meters. I was really "lucky" when I got
my callsign.  I couldn't have asked for a better on November One Way

I got started in Amateur Radio almost on a bet. A good friend of mine
informed me that he was going to be taking a class locally and got me
to sign up with him. That was in the begaining of 1996. I got my
lisence in March of 96. Since then I have gone on to become the
secretary of our local radio club here, NoBARC, The Northern Berkshire
Amateur Radio Club. You can see our web page at http://www.nobarc.com .
Actually, the guy that got me into amateur radio is the Vice President
of the club now.

My main intrests in amateur radio these days are CONTESTING, that's
always fun. Public Service events are always at the top of my list.
NoBARC works very closely with the Berkshire Mountain Search and Rescue
team and I assist with communications whenever a search is on. I also
am part of the Amateur Radio division of the Pittsfield Emergency
Management Agency and assist with radio communications with them during
severe weather and disasters.

I work year round planning our radio clubs annual HamFest which is held
every fall locally in Adams, MA. You can check out our page for our
HamFest at http://www.nobarc.com/hamfest/ . Along with the assistance
of my fellow committee members, Joel Miller N1WCF, and Mike Romanowicz
N1XHQ, we have turned this event from a small Fleamarket, into a
HamFest complete with National Commercial Vendors and guest speakers.

My personal life isn't as much fun as my radio life. I have been
happily married to my High School sweethart for a couple of years now
and we have a two year old son. I work as a Technical Support
Representative for KB Toys here locally and basicly trouble shoot
computer system problems and register problems at the stores. I have
been with KB Toys for almost a year now and plan to be here for several
more to come.

As for hobbies outside of amateur radio...is there a life outside
amateur radio? Well I try to have one. I enjoy bowling. I love to
travel, even with no real destination, just love to see the
country.Other then that all my hobbies have something to do with
Amateur Radio.

You can call me a Trekkie, but I love any Sci-Fi show that has some
truth to it. I enjoy Star Trek, form Kirk, to Picard and Sisko. I also
enjoy Babalon 5 and Sliders. These shows have a shread of realism to
them that makes you belive that they might be possible.

My name is Jeff Kamen, and I reside in Madison, Ct. I am 30 years old,
and I have been a ham radio operator for nearly two years, at the time
of this writing. My "elmer" was actually two people, my grandfather,
and my father. My grandfather NY1M (now a silent key) was an Extra
Class ham, as well is my father, W1ZBI. Soon I will be an Extra too!

Other than the radio, my hobbies include sports, and music. I am a bass
player, playing in two seperate bands at the time. Here is a web page
for one of them. http://pages.cthome.net/nakeddylan

Hi There!  I am 36 years old, and am married to a great women!  I have
a son 17 and a daughter 12.  I have one cat.  His name is "Meeka" This
cat RULES!  Yes, my name is ROCK.  Really spelled ROCH, but in school
nobody could pronounce it, so I changed the H to a K way back in junior
high, and the rest is history.  I have only been in Amateur Radio for a
few months, yet have been ticketed for 2 years.  Was always to cheap to
spend the money to get started.  NOW I AM HOOKED!   I drive Tractor -
Trailer for a Concrete company out of Vermont, and have the chance to
work several different repeaters from the Northeast.  Have made a lot
of friends on 2 meter and 440.  I will eventually get into HF, but am
happy for now with what I have.  My goals for now are to build my own
AMP, and see a CUSHCRAFT B-2 on the mast! Catch you on the air.

Hi,

My name is Paul Nicolay, and I'm born on April, 25th of 1969. I've
studied A1-Computer Sciences at the Karel De Grote Hogeschool in
Antwerp on which I graduated in 1989. Since then, I started working for
the largest Belgium software house, called Real-Software NV.

At work, I'm a System Engineer, mainly dealing with IBM AS/400 Midrange
systems and Microsoft Windows NT networks. As you may have noticed on
the home-page, the WEB-site
http://www.as400.realsoftware.be/Org/HAMRadio is powered by an IBM
AS/400 running OS/400 V3R7 and IBM Internet Connection.

In my free time, I'd still like to play (addicted :-) with computers,
and if I need some fresh air, I'd like to go swimming and once or twice
a year I'm looking for a lot of snow and some ski-fun.

Since March 1997, I also graduated my radio amateur exam, and since
then I can be found on the Belgian frequencies as ON1DJU. In case
you're looking for me, try the repeaters of Antwerp and Heist od Berg
on both 2M and 70cm.

My name is Demetre Koumanakos and my call is SV1ENS, even though I've
been a "Radio Amateur" since 1976 when I built my first radio
transmitter using the EL84 tube, I was licensed in 1997. I've managed
to transmit on all (and I do mean ALL) frequencies, during my early
years my rebellious self was "beyond" rules and restrictions...


After the rebellion years were over I met several pioneers of Hellenic
Amateur Radio, one of which SV1CC (now a silent key) who inspired me
and steered me right... During my University years I was involved with
my University Amateur Radio club and I started to operate "legally",
and I worked Phone on 10 meters mostly with several thousands of
contacts (this was during cycle 21 peek season) on all five
continents.


Now after passing a somewhat difficult code requirement in order to be
licensed, I'm a no-code advocate (code requirements must be lowered if
not dropped) and I usually listen on 7.080 or 14.150 phone. I still
build as many of my own equipment and antennas as my amateur
electronics permit, and my motto is "I'll never buy an antenna if I can
build it".


I enjoy creating Amateur Radio related software, I've created several
programs for antenna and transmission line calculations, but my
favorite program is Amazing Kenwood controller. AK will fully control
any Kenwood radio including their receivers. AK works under DOS and
Windows.

Greetings from the shack of VE1FC. Electronics amoung other things has
been my life ! My first " paid " job was at the age of 13 when I was
hired by a local radio TV shop repairing radios.. That was back in
1960, The days of hot little bottles !

Most of my education has been of the self taught variety and over the
years I have gained a great wealth of experience in many fields such as
Plumbing and Haeting industry, domestic and commercial, Engine
rebuilding, gas and diesel , Radio and TV broadcast studio and
transmitter,  Computers from the first KIM1 I had to the newest
fangdangled IBM style boxes. There is nothing that I won't tackle !.

Other hobbies include flying light aircraft ( C172 ) but that one has
fallen by the wayside due to costs , and scuba diving.

The main rigs I use are the ICOM 706 , and a Globe King 500 with a
Hammarlund HQ 100 receiver.

Main modes on HF are AM and SSB, and I have 2 FM repeaters that I have
built using old GE equipment 0n 6 meters and 2 meters.

I repair everything myself and do a lot of repair work for others not
so technically inclined. I am equally comfortable with old tubed
equipment as I am with the newest solid state boxes..

My motto is if I need it build it !  Enjoy every day to its fullest !

Have been an Amateur radio operator since 1974 and presently reside in
the beautiful "Annapolis Valley" of Nova Scotia. "Join the ARMY and see

ARMY for me and it allowed me to operate VE1VE from Summerside, PEI;
VE1VE(VE3), Ottawa, Ont; VE1VE(SU), Ismaillia, Egypt; VE1VE(4X4), Golan
Heights,Israel; and finally back to plain old VE1VE here in the
Valley.

My main interest in "HAM" radio over the years has been to provide
phone-patch and traffic services for military personnel on posting at
isolated locations throughout the world and their families back in
Canada. I was particularly fortunate to be stationed at National
Defence Headquarters in Ottawa during the 1976-79 period and able to
assist in the formation and organization of the Canadian Forces
Affiliate Radio system (CFARS).

I enjoy DX'ing as well and have attained the ARRL DXCC awards for both

Hello everybody out there in radio land.

My name is Alan MacDonald and I live in a small town in Nova Scotia
Canada. My town is called Antigonish and has a population of about
8,000. I live by myself in a mini home in a trailer park named Shamrock
Acres.


I tell jokes all the time and like to joke around. When anyone says to
me "What are you up to?" I just say, 5' 11" good looking and handsome,
what else is new? Ha! Ha! I am 35 years old and I am single. I have
been working at a McDonald's Restaurant for 7 and a half years now. I
have 6 other family members, 4 sisters and 2 brothers.


My hobbies are Amateur Radio and Bicycle Repair. I am also a member in
good standing of the Antigonish Amateur Radio Club, which is a small
group of 30 members. I have some basic wiring skills.


On my 18-speed racing bicycle, I have 2 motorcycle batteries, to which
I have wired 8 red taillights on the back of my parcel carrier, and 4
yellow lights on the front of the forks, and right and left signals,
and 3 headlights in front of the handle bars. And they all light up
together when I am driving around at night. I also use the signal
lights during the daytime which works better than hand and arm signals,
which we were taught way back when. I also have a sharpening business
in which I sharpen anything but ice skates. I pick up cans, plastic,
glass and beer bottles all over town to pass the time.


My radio equipment is as follows: A Ranger RCI-2950, 10- and 11-Meter
Band radio that covers 26.000 -32.000 MHz. And a Kenwood TM-241-A
2-Meter Band radio which covers 117 to 174 MHz. and also a Icom T-22-A
2 Meter HT which covers 136- 174 MHz. My 3 antennas are a 2 meter 6 and
9 element quads that I built myself and a 2 meter J-pole and also a
G5RV Antenna for HF listening. The G5RV antenna is mainly good for 10,
15, 20,40, 80, and 160 meters.


I like to be alone most of the time, but I have friends that I talk to
on the telephone. I watch a lot of TV and soaps daily - my favorites
are Days of our Lives, Another World, and Sunset Beach. I have friends
at work that I go out with just to chat about anything else except
work.


My job at McDonald's is mainly in the kitchen or grill area and
includes stocking the grill area freezers with meat and chicken. I also
toast the buns and cook the meat, chicken, filet-o-fish and chicken
nuggets in the 360-degree vats. It is a very stressful job, especially
when a bus load of tourists arrives.

I was introduced to radio at the age of 9, when my father brought a
college text on basic radio theory home to satisfy my curiosity.  The
theory was a challenge, but with the radio text and an early ARRL
handbook, I learned the basics, and was fixing tube type radios through
age 14 when I met John Davidson, now K8JD.  John, was not just
receiving signals, he was transmitting them.  He had a simple crystal
controlled tube type transmitter, built on an RG Dunn cigar box.

Not long after, I was reviewing the morse code which I had learned from
an instructor at Boy Scout Troop 2 in Southfield, Michigan.  The code
came back and I was soon sitting in the FCC office in Detroit, Michigan
writing a novice examination.

John and I studied while I waited for my Novice license to arrive.  By
the time I held WN8CAL in my young hand, we were ready to take our
general class examinations.  As WA8CAL and WA8AFS, we both began study
for our Extra class examinations, and were ready at the earliest
testing we could arrange after our minimum time was up.  We both passed
and received nothing for our efforts, except a certificate.  (There
were no added privelages back then for taking the 20 wpm code test or
Extra Theory.)

The recession in 1974 Detroit, found me as a working man with a
family.  I had been unemployed for 13 months, and besides driving my
lovely wife, Ann, nuts by just being around too much, I was beginning
to loose my self esteem.  I had to do something.  I followed work to
Swift Current, Saskatchewan, Canada where I worked as an electrician,
and later an instructor at Saskathewan Technical Institute, while Ann
and I developed a 54 head dairy farm.  I became an electrical
contractor and ran a backhoe and trenching service.  You would think
with a name like Success Electric that VE5DB had it made, but a strain
of mastitis hit our herd that would not respond to antibiotics.  We
lost it all, and started over in Alberta.  Now VE6DN, I worked for a
really excellent contractor, RD Electric.  When the owner,Clarence, ran
out of work, I had to tell him to lay me off.  He just did not have the
heart to do it.  I finally got the pink slip, filled it out and gave it
to him to sign.  People like that are hard to find.  Fro

Eventually I took a transfer to Yukon and VY1JA was on the air.  There
is no looking back for Ann and me.  We love Yukon for its fine people
and beautiful setting.

W1AA Marconi Radio Club represents the Marconi Station "CC" on Cape Cod
where the First Two Way Transatlantic Radio Spark Transmission took
place in 1903 between the USA and Europe.  "BIRTH of an IDEA" Inspired
by the electrical and magnetic experiments of the German physicist
Heinrich Hertz, young Guglielmo Marconi began dreaming of a way the
send messages without the aid of wires. In 1894 at age 20,he began his
experiments from the top floor of his family's Villa Grifone near
Bologna, Italy. Using homemade equipment, Marconi was able to send and
receive signals up to 30 feet by the end of the first year. The next
year he had reached a mile, and by 1901,Marconi's Wireless was
dependable up to 200 miles. Suddenly, wireless telegraphy was the rage
in both Europe and North America.  "SPANNING the OCEAN" Marconi's dream
was to transmit a signal over the Atlantic. To do this, stations were
constructed in Poldhu,England, St.  John's Newfoundland and South
Wellfleet, Massachusetts. Transmitting these distances using long
electromagnetic waves required ample power and huge antennas. After
failing in several attempts, four 210 foot wooden towers held the
arrays at all three locations. The transmitting frequency was below 300
KHZ in the 1000 meter band. The signal was produced by a 35,000 watt
rotary spark gap transmitter. It is said that neighbors several miles
away could hear the noise from the spark gap!  The first successful
Transatlantic contact was made on January 18,1903 when greetings were
exchanged between President Theodore Roosevelt and King Edward VII
using the International Morse Code.  "THE YEARS of OPERATION" Within
months, NEW YORK TIMES and the LONDON TIMES received news an ocean away
via the Poldhu and South Wellfleet stations. Ocean liners soon added
the Marconi wireless equipment to receive news broadcasts and transmit
messages for passengers for fifty cents a word. While technological
developments sometimes become routine, ship-to-shore communication held
its romance as news spread of many daring sea rescues. Interest reached
a dramatic level with the wireless- aided rescue of 700 Titanic
passengers by the Carpathia in 1912. For fifteen years, skilled
telegraphers tapped out messages at 17 WPM making station CC, in effect
the first "Voice of America." However, by 1916, the sea cliff was
eroding and two of the towers were threatened with collapse. The next
year the station was closed to ensure security during World War I and
all the while technical advances were being made that were soon to
render spark-gap transmitters obsolete. In 1920, "CC" was scrapped and
the barn-red towers were dismantled.  Marconi's impact was great.  When
Gugielmo Marconi died, a final respect was paid as all wireless
stations around the world were silenced in his honor. No other person
ever received such a recognition, and no others have received it
since.

Greetings!  I received my first license, WN1PPX, on December 24, 1971.
What a Christmas present!  Since then I've held WA1UWZ and now W1AAE, a
great call for CW, not so good for contests.

I am the CEO of Doublet Technology Corp. a high tech startup involved
in single lens stereo (3D cameras).  These will be the standard design
for the next generation of video and teleconferencing - even into your
homes, I hope!

Currently I'm active 80 through 10 and a little 2m and 70 cm.  I am
also FISTS No. 3099 and am active more on CW in the winter for some
reason.

I am active in my local QCWA chapter (Quarter Century Wireless
Association) and at 42 years old am about half the age of most of the
other members!  I like to help them whenever I can in the hope that
someday I will have younger hams help me when I can no longer climb a
tower.

My other contribution to amateur radio is as a VE through the ARRL (but
not a member!) and I am also the letter B sorter for the W1 QSL
Bureau.  It is a frustrating activity - seeing really rare DX cards
come through for stations with no account!  I try to contact everyone I
can but some really neat confirmations end up in the trash.  Don't let
this happen to you!

I am married - 20 years now - have three children (6, 12 and 16) who
are very interested and supportive of this hobby.

Best 73 to all!

The call sign of Stew Perry, a pioneer in the development of DXing on
160 and the holder of the first 160 DXCC Award, lives on again through
the Stew Perry Memorial Radio Club. Stew's call, W1BB, was issued to
the club on May 9,1997. A copy of an original W1BB QSL card from the
1950's was reconstructed and modified by Hal, WA1J, for use by the
club. The QSL is as the original, other than the the club name on the
front of the card. The W1BB call has been returned to operation in
contests and casual QSOs on 160 meters since being released.  During
some recent contests we received many "Hi Stew" comments, but also
several stations questioned the validity of the call until they were
told it was reissued to the Stew Perry Memorial Radio Club. The replies
were " Glad to hear Stew's call again", to "Keep the memory alive".
Which is what the club has intentions of doing.  The club plans to use
W1BB "ONLY" on 160 meters where Stew had made his presence known and
heard for many years.  It was appropriate that "W1BB" was issued to a
club as the call was considered by many to be too BIG for one
individual to hold.....  One can imagine the comment to an individual
holder of the call... " I knew Stew Perry and you are no Stew
Perry".......  The call is made available to all club members for
casual operating or contesting on 160.....  Cu on 160....

I've enjoyed amateur radio since 1962, when at the age of eleven, I
passed my Novice examination and became known as KN1EYN.  Using
telegraphy became a great part of my life as it was the only mode
available to the Novice at that time.  I progressed through the ranks
and passed each of the amateur examinations in sequence.  The only
thing that changed was the elimination of the first "N" of my callsign
which designated my original Novice license.  K1EYN remained with me
until April of 1997 when I applied for the callsign, W1HZ.  The
decision to make this change was difficult, as K1EYN was as much a part
of me as my own name.


I am a consultant in the computer industry having spent 14 years with
Digital Equipment Corporation.  I have enjoyed other vocations
including pilot/traffic reporter for WRKO radio in Boston, marketing
manager for Robot Research (Slow Scan Television), commercial pilot for
British West Indies flying DC-6 aircraft and as a television engineer
for Westinghouse Broadcasting Company.

I am proud to be married to Barbara Blumberg, W1XYL, who is a twenty
year veteran of Eastern Airlines.  My dad, Leon, W1NBC, surprised me
several years ago, by dusting off his morse code skills from World War
II and passing his General license.  Yet another family member, Monte
Nelson, W1MN, also broke the technical barrier and passed his Extra
Class examination.

Amateur Radio has always been a large part of my life, as is evidenced
by my family, my vocations and my friends.  I am greatful that I was
well guided by my parents, as they gave me my first crystal radio kit
and set me on this wonderful journey.

My name is Bob and my QTH is Belmont, Massachusetts.  My QSL card
pictures a World War II Destroyer Escort, a small destroyer designed
for convoying and anti-submarine warfare.  This QSL card pictures the
USS Scott (DE-214) whereas the ship I served on was the USS Sederstrom
(DE-31), named after Ens. Delmore Sederstrom who served on the USS
Oklahoma (BB-37).  After the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7,
1941, he was listed as MIA (Missing In Action).  I served aboard my
ship as a radioman.  From this QSL card I believe you can imagine it
was "fun" copying CW when underway in a rough sea.   The Navy
transmitted messages to the fleet initially from Hawaii and later from
Guam after that island was recaptured.  We were required to copy all
messages.  Messages, which were coded, five letters to a group, were
transmitted at a speed of from 18 wpm to 30 wpm, depending on the
amount of traffic (messages to be sent).  The messages were copied on a
"mill", navy terminology for a typewriter.  The letters on a "mill"
were upper case only, and the zero had a slash through it to
distinguish it from the letter O.  Being originally from Maine, after
the war I took advantage of the GI Bill and attended the Univ. of
Maine, after which I came to Boston and was employed by the John
Hancock Insurance Company.  I have retired from this company, yet now
wonder how I managed to work a full week and get all the chores done
around this place.  My wife, Joan, is from Belmont, and a retired

The MERIDEN AMATEUR RADIO CLUB or "MARC" is assigned the call W1NRG by
the FCC as a Memorial Station. Designation as a memorial station is
rare since the FCC no longer issues special or memorial licenses. The
Meriden Amateur Radio Club is one of the few clubs left to have one.
MARC has a long history and tradition that goes back to 1947.

In the autumn of 1947, following World War II, the Meriden Amateur
Radio Club took form to fill the needs of area hams. The Meriden YMCA
was the site of the first meeting of a handful of eager young radio
operators.

After a few temporary sites, Dossin Beach Building at Hanover Pond was
acquired from the City of Meriden. Things really started to happen.
Membership exploded, antennas sprang up, stations were assembled and
the FCC issued a call, W1SBF, to the emerging group.

Ed Bisschert, W1NRG, joined MARC after serving his World War II duty as
a Navy Chief Radioman. A dedicated club booster, he held several
elected posts. He urged all to master the Morse Code and worked with
others to help in training for license exams. He was indeed an
inspiration and a true "Elmer". Ed became a Silent Key in 1952 after a
brief illness. It was fitting that MARC members sought to memorialize
his call. A petition to the FCC resulted in the new MARC call sign -
W1NRG.

The club station at Dossin Beach continued to flourish with the
addition of several antennas, commercial and home brew equipment. The
club facilities included two complete individual stations for Novice
and upper class operators alike. Weekly on-the-air code practice was
held in addition to regular club meetings and activities.

The Meriden Amateur Radio Club (W1NRG) continues the tradition today.
As an ARRL Special Service Club, MARC is active in training, field day,
JOTA, contesting, packet, exhibits, station/member activities both on
and off the air, and a camaraderie unique to Amateur Radio.

MARC is proud of its fully equipped HF station. MARC is also the
sponsor of the Castle Craig chapter of Ten-Ten and holds a ten meter
net every Tuesday on 28.375 Mhz at 8 PM local time.

Well now you know who I am, so lets find out what I am.

I was born a male baby, many, many years ago. I graduated from Milton,
Ma. High School in 1966. I was your typical child of the sixties, at
least until  the U.S. Navy got a-hold of me. Before they did though I
got to go to Woodstock, almost, and I played guitar in a local band
called, "The BEER Cans", what a stupid name.

My Navy life was cool. I went to Radioman School at Bainbridge, Md.
While I was there I shot pistols, rode horses, and went to the EM club,
to I guess, drink beer. I was later stationed on the USS Fulton, a
submarine tender, berthed at the state pier in New London Conn.  We did
not go too far; Bermuda and Charleston S.C.

After I got out of the Navy, I got my ham radio license, got married to
my high school sweet heart, Jean, went back to school at Northeastern
University, and started a family.

Jean and I have been married for 26 years now and have two children,
Tim 18 and Christine, 15. I graduated from Northeastern with a
Bachelors Degree in Computer Engineering, Magna Cum Laude. I started a
masters program at the UMASS, Dartmouth campus but gave it up when my
mother passed away.

Presently I am involved with the USS Salem Radio Club, the Marconi
Radio Club, and the Scratch and Sniff Radio club.  I work at the
Foxboro Co. as a senior Software Engineer.  Other then radio my outside
interests are boating and visiting my cousins in Ireland.

My shack picture shows a 486 computer, a TS690S, 160 thru 6 meter rig,

The CVFMA was established in 1970 by a local  group  of hams in the
White River Jct., Vt/Hanover, NH/Claremont, NH area.  They established
a 2 meter repeater on the summit of Mt. Ascutney on the Connecticut
River. The frequency of the repeater is 146.760(-600).  The original
repeater was replaced in 1981  due to intermod from the new ch-31 tv
station.  In 1984  the CVFMA established the first Volunteer Examiner
team and test sessions. WB1GXM was the guiding light in this project.
This group gave the first test sessions in New Hampshire and the second
in all of New England. This was done in September of 1984 at the King
Ridge ski Area  Hamfest.  Since this  time, the CVFMA, has established
a second repeater on Moose Mt.,  in Etna/Hanover, NH. The club has a
very active ARES component, assist with many local events, the annual
Simulated Emergency Test, Field Day, and other events.

Hello fellow hams!

I am a native of Nova Scotia, on Canada's eastern coast.  However, I
currently live in southwestern New Hampshire.  My amateur radio
experience began back in 1976, when I was first licensed as WA4UUX.
AK4L, my extra call, came quickly, and I held that call till 1996, when
I became W1VE.  When I went back to Canada for college in 1979, I took
the Canadian Amateur Radio tests and first became VE1BXC.  Later, I
changed that to VE1CER, and finally to VE1RM.

My interest in ham radio led to a job at ARRL HQ, from 1980-83.  I
worked in the lab and as a QST Assistant Technical Editor.  That was
back in the days of Doug DeMaw, W1FB, a fine tutor!  If you have the
1982 ARRL Handbook, my picture is on the cover, operating my QSK amp
and CW keyboard.

Although I've probably done most things in my career as a ham, the most
consistant activity has been contest operating.  I love contests,
especially CW DX and SS.  I've never had a super station at home, but
I've had the privledge of operating from some of the best in the world:
VE1DXA(@VE1YX), VE9DH, VE1ASJ, KY1H/K1TTT, K1ZZ, W2SZ/1, and many
others.  In the mid-80s I was part of DXpeditions to Sable (CY0) and
St. Paul (CY9) Islands as CY0SAB and CY9SPI.  In addition, I put in a
single-op stint as VP2M/VE1RM.

VHF/UHF operating is a second major interest, and I've been operating
from superstation W2SZ/1 for more than 15 years.  See
http://www.mgef.org.

My vocation is Software Engineering.  I currently own and run a
full-service software development consultancy, specializing in RAD of
Microsoft Windows-based applications.

Being married to another ham radio operator puts a bit of pressure on
an XYL.  So after a year and a half of marriage, I started studying the
code and Novice theory and became KA1HXR on November 10, 1981.  It
became apparent that CW was not the wave of the future.  Two meter FM
and repeaters were increasing in popularity.  I upgraded to N1CDJ on
May 10, 1982.  Now I was able to communicate with my husband, Rick,
W1HZ, during our morning commutes.  When vanity callsigns were being
implemented, I watched carefully for a terrific one to show up on the
"available" list.  I was ecstatic when I received W1XYL on April 28,

Amateur radio has been my principle hobby since 1966 when at the age of
14, I was introduced to the airwaves via Nevin P. Otis, W6MXL (now
silent key).  I will always be grateful for his kind assistance and
interest in promoting this international fraternity of radio
enthusiasts.  Ham radio "moved" with me through High School (Needham,
MA), college years (Class of '74 at Colgate University Hamilton NY) and
graduate school (Northwestern University Kellogg School of Management
Class of 1976).  As a marketing manager, I have remained "mobile"
working for Gillette Personal Care Division, (Boston, MA) Johnson &
Johnson Personal Products, (Milltown, NJ), Shulton Toiletries (Wayne,
NJ), Alberto Culver (Chicago, IL), Maybelline Cosmetics (Memphis, TN),
Beatrice Meats - Swift/Eckrich (Chicago, IL), Land O Lakes (Arden
Hills, MN) and Bongrain Field Packing Co. (Owensboro, KY) where I am
Vice President of Marketing.  Carol, my XYL (KA9SOF) and Flower our
miniature schnauzer (K9DOG) complete my family.  We enjoy travel to
other countries and the opportunity to meet other amateur radio
families.  I am active in several modes including:  SSTV, ATV, SSB, FM
and Satellite Communications.  Internet activity has also been a part
of our communication interests as well.  Other hobbies include a small
collection of antique phonographs: 1908 Victor Talking Machine, 1923
Victor Victrola model 125 and a 1921 Sears Cecilian model. I have about
300 records representing the popular music of the accoustic era ranging
from 1909 - 1929.  I enjoy playing these recordings at local nursing
homes.

Homebrew rigs was a 4 tube CW Xcvr (6aq5 - xstal xmit) with xstal if's.
807 cw xmitter, and a one xstr qrp xmitter (never made a qso) and a 2
xstr qrp xmitter that I never made a qso on when I built in in the

Born in 1951, I get My Ham license in 1973 with the Call  I1WIJ.  I
started my radio activity as SWL  I1-20165 in 1970, and in 1971 I then
joined ARI.

The first equipment was a Geloso Receiver, G4-216, and an older
Transmitter, G4-223 (75 watts).

The antenna was the HyGain 14-AVQ, 3 band vertical for 10-15-20 meters,
and a folded dipole More-Gain for 40 and 80 which I then used till
1993.

In 1977 I moved to Milano, and I became I2WIJ.

In 1982 then I changed the vertical antenna with the famous TA33-jr, on
the roof of a 25 meters high building.  The antenna, which is the only
one available today, is still in use but... need some extra
maintenance!

The RIG is the ICOM IC-720A, running barefoot, also assisted by a
Pentium 200 CPU.

I like mostly CW.

Radioamatore i2ZVB

Zaccaria Angelo Boldetti, gia' i1KBU dal 16 dicembre 1949.

I primi esperimenti di trasmissione li ho effettuati nel 1947;
confermati nel 1948 all' eta' di 16 anni con TX "807 in ECO e antenna
calcolata" ed RX casalingo.

i1KBU figura sull' "Elenco generale dei radianti autorizzati" del
ministero PP.TT. - seconda edizione aggiornata al 1 dicembre 1952
pagina 58 e sull' "Elenco dei radioamatori italiani" e del relativo
aggiornamento fino a tutto il 31 gennaio 1958.

Tuttavia ho voluto fare l' esame prima come iw2 (licenza IW2ABR) poi
come i2 (i2ZVB nominativo che conservo tuttora).

Nel 1948 spesso mi collegavo con l' attuale presidente della sezione
A.R.I. di Varese sig. Peppino Carenzi (allora i1AET ed ora i2ETG).

Piu' che fare collegamenti mi piace la sperimentazione e l'
aggiornamento.

Dal 1971 sono socio A.R.I. e prima del RADIO CLUB ITALIA come
dimostrano le mie vecchie QSL.

11-bands Ant at 40meters for HF. I use a Yaesu FT736R and a bi-band Ant
at 40 meters for VHF and UHF. I do not like linear amplifiers (I rather
use the telephone... :-) I very much enjoy nice dx QSO but I am not a

BARA is a general interest amateur radio club located in Bergen County,
New Jersey. Club meetings are held at the Elk's Lodge (near the police
department: Patrolman Ray Woods Drive) in New Milford on the first
Sunday of every month. Guests and prospective members are always
welcome. Meetings start at 7:30 pm. We also publish an eight-page
newsletter to keep members who cannot attend meetings up-to-date. If
you would like further information about BARA, E-mail us at:
info@bara.org

If you can't attend meetings you can still participate by joining one
of our two weekly nets. The 2-meter net convenes every Wednesday at
9:00 p.m. on the W2AKR repeater (146.79) while the 10-meter net meets
Monday night at 9:00 p.m. on 28.350MHz.

As a Special Service Club BARA has hosted several division conventions
and most recently served as the QSL manager for the space shuttle
mission STS-79.

Our Public Service committee headed by Bob Javits WB2AIU provides
communications for March of Dimes walkathons, parades and other special
events.

We provide members with an outgoing QSL bureau headed by Warren Hager
K2UFM. Each month Warren sends several pounds of cards to the ARRL for
distribution.

Our Volunteer Examiner (VE) program is one of the oldest on the East
Coast. Call Tom McBreen, WU2C at 201-384-6728 or e-mail him at
ham-exam@bara.org for further information.

Every Wednesday is "construction night". Some projects recently
completed by BARA members include the automatic antenna tuner featured
in the January 1997 issue of QST, the NorCal 40A QRP transceiver, a DSP
audio filter and several Downeast Microwave transverters. We meet at
the Westwood High School in Washington Township. If you are interested
in electronics projects or just enjoy the smell of molton solder you
can join the fun at 7:00 p.m. in room 113.

Our contest participation continues to grow along with our scores. For
the past three years the BARA Weak Signal Group headed by Jerry
Jankowitz, NO2T has been a multi-station multi-operator entry in the
September and January ARRL VHF contests where BARA and individual
members have scored among the leaders.

Field Day is always a highlight on the BARA calendar.  As in the VHF
contests we operated "multi-multi" and we always operate fully
independent of commercial power.

Gordon Beatty, W2TTT maintains a library of videos on technical and
operating topics. These videos are available for loan to club members.

The BARA semiannual hamfests in June and October are well-known
throughout the Northeast as well as our annual auctions ever February
during our regular monthly meeting.

So there you have it. At BARA you will find QRP enthusiasts, antenna
specialists, key collectors, digital mode gurus and more. Our members
have had articles published in QST and the "ARRL Antenna Compendium".
Whatever your question is, technical or operating, at a BARA meeting
you'll generally find several experienced hams ready to field it.

Hi there.  My name is Don and I have been involved in Amateur Radio
since 1990.  My home page is at ( http://www.frontiernet.net/~k2dv/ ),
and you can see alot of information there.  I am a member of the
Brockport Amateur Radio Klub (BARK) and am currently the president.  We
are a small club whose main purpose is to have fun with ham radio.  I
would like to thank my elmer Louie, K2QOB for taking the time to get me
into a great hobby!  Almost without exception all of the people I have
met have been great, and I've made some good friends.  It's difficult
to be in a hobby that the main purpose of is to talk with people you've
never met, and not meet alot of nice people!

I have two teenage boys, and God help me, the older one just got his
license the other day.  Is that a good thing or a bad thing?  Where I
currently live is Brockport, NY.  It is along the famous Erie Canal, of
song and history fame.  The State University of New York also has a
campus here.  The Village of Brockport isn't all that large, so the
Univeristy's presence is really felt.  No where else that I lived had
all night coffee shops next to the record store, with a chinese
restaurant and pizzeria just a few steps away.  All in all it's
interesting though.

Another one of my pastimes is involvement with the Bergen Rod and Gun
Club.  Bergen is a town about 8 miles south of Brockport, and I used to
live there for a while too.  I enjoy various shooting disciplines, and
enjoy the freindships there as much as the ones I've made with ham
radio.  In fact I got into both about the same time.  Also, the
Brockport Amateur Radio Klub has held our Field Day event at the gun
club for the last 4 years.  Check that out at the Brockport Klub Page.

If you have any questions or comments, I'd like to hear from you!   73

First licensed as KN2OVS in 1958, I took an immediate interest in VHF
(couldn't pass the 13 wpm CW test so got both a Novice and Technician
license - you could hold them both simultaneously at that time). Put
together a 5 watt 6-meter AM transmitter and bought a Hallicrafter
S-106 receiver and worked my first QSO on 6 meters over the staggering
DX of 5 miles (first QSO with K2LZJ - he is still active from
W4-land).  Maintained VHF/UHF interest over the years and still chasing
the elusive DXCC on 6 meters after 3 sunspot cycles (current total 62
countries confirmed). Looking forward to the next peak in 2000-2001 to
complete the DXCC.  Three events in my ham career stand out in my mind
- Working KH6IAA on 6 meters for state #50 on 6 meters (1979), working
KL7 on 80 CW for my 5BWAS with 80 watts (1984) and a 1/4 wave sloper
and completing a QSO on 432 Mhz with K2RIW using about 10 MICROWATTS
over a 12 mile path in the 70's. I think we calculated the QSO as 2.5
million miles per watt !!  73 es CUL on 6 meters, Jay - K2OVS

First licensed in November 1955, and original holder of the K2QIJ
callsign in my home town of Burlington, New Jersey, I came up thru the
old sub-allocated callsign system of the New Jersey State RACES program
in Burlington County. Having joined RACES in early 1956, and holding
various municipal and county positions, I  was appointed County RACES
Radio Officer, and served in that capacity along with the ARES-EC title
which I received in the early 1970's, until late 1990.

During that period, I built the county's first  two meter autopatch
repeater, and put it on 147.15 to save the county RACES frequency.
Later with county supplied equipment, I put another machine on 145.47
and linked them via microwave, giving the best mobile coverage of New
Jersey's largest county, as it remains today.

Combining the RACES and ARES programs, and having dedicated, non-club
repeaters, allowed the organization to grow to over 100 active members
performing up to 25 community service events a year, plus weekly nets,
drills, and emergencies. I was proud to have so many dedicated
volunteers, and if YOU were one of them, I THANK-YOU!!

In the mid 1980's I became SEC/SNJ for about six years until my
predecessor, W2HOB, became available to resume his duties in January
1990. In September 1990 I resigned all of these affiliations, including
Air Force MARS (AFA1MV), and my job at New Jersey Bell, and moved with
my wife, Sharyn, to our present location, which is a small area within
the Williamsburg, VA ZIP code,  known as Norge. Thus, I am: GEORGE FROM
NORGE. From Greater Downtown Norge, about 1 sq. mile, I operate a
145.41 SERA member repeater, KF4ADM which you should look- up on this
QRZ.COM database.

While in New Jersey, I introduced what was then The Westlink Radio
News, to the Delaware Valley by way of the  county repeaters. Later it
became part of the METROPLEX NEWS NETWORK until that died. This lead to
the formation of the EASTLINK NETWORK by WA3BXW, WA2KWW, and myself,
which produced some strangely interesting information programs and
included NEWSLINE, before and after its name change, at the studios of
WNJT. At its peak, EASTLINK was being simulcast on 40 repeaters on six
bands and being heard from Northern Virginia to New England.  As a
"Virginia ham" I brought NEWSLINE to the area several years ago via
145.41 and air it 4 times each week along with KC9RP's R.A.I.N.
program as listed in the Net Directory of the SERA Journal.

I've always enjoyed serving my fellow hams and the public thru this
hobby. I wish more of us would get trained and participate in
ARES/RACES and SKYWARN, such as I am here now in Virginia. See  (
http://www.aresva.org )  for an idea of what's happening here.  It's a
good feeling to put something back into this hobby that gives us so
much enjoyment!

and now in Round Rock, Texas near Austin.

I enjoy SSB and CW ragchews and do NOT chase DX. In addition to an Icom
IC-765 and IC-735, I enjoy bringing Boatanchors back to life, my
current favorite being Drake equipment. I am a member of the
Boatanchors list and enjoy CW ragchews with the BA Gang on 7050 and
3579.5 MHz.

I spent over 30 years with Big Blue (hence the many QTH changes) and
now am with a safety certification agency TUV Rheinland of North
America. Look for me on the above CW QRG and via email. I enjoy
discussions on antennas and hold Capt. Paul Lee and Walt Maxwell W2DU
in the highest regard. Don't ask me about lowering your SWR unless
you're ready for a discussion on feedlines!

My favorite movie is "The Last Polka" starring John Candy, Eugene Levy
and Rick Moranis. I love classical music, play the saxophone and do
just about ALL my own auto mechanic work. The XYL and I are working our

From my earliest days, I just loved to tinker... Was born March 29,1948
in New Jersey, We moved to New York at age 11. Got my first license
(WN2ORH) while a junior in high school in 1964. I used the hobby to
help me in the army. I became a morse intercept operator with the
United States Army Security Agency. Spent 2 tours in Vietnam from 1968
thru 1971. I enjoy restoring tube gear from the 50's & 60's. I have
several classic stations made by Collins,Hallicrafters & E.F. Johnson
on the air.

I also enjoy DX'ing. I have operated from St.Maarten,St.Lucia,Aruba,
Bermuda,Barbados and this past march, I was honored to be the first
veteran of the vietnam conflict to operate from Saigon as 3W6WE. It was
an amazing trip back after almost 30 years. We made 4400+ contacts in
the week we operated. I also have a license from Cambodia (XU2WE) which
we hope to activate on a future trip.

I turned 50 during the vietnam trip. This july marks 35 years in the
hobby. I've traveled around the world and made many friends thru Ham
Radio and have had several come here to visit.

Other hobbies here are collecting vintage Lionel trains and collecting
License Plates. I specialize in Call Letter plates and welcome any
plates from fellow hams.

I've been married for the past 22 years. My wife barbara, became N2HEK
12 years ago and enjoys operating when we travel.

Greetings,

I mostly operate 6 meters from my home in rural, Unincorporated St.
Charles County (the nearest post office is Marthasville in another
county), about 45 miles west of St. Louis Mo. My station for SSB is a
Yaesu FT-620B with a Clegg Apollo 6 amplifier at 300 Watts. The antenna
is a 7 element yagi up 40 feet. On FM, I use a Motorola Maratrac at 120
Watts and a 1/4 wave vertical. On HF I mostly run an Icom IC-751A with
a 1/4 wave 40 meter vertical and a G5RV.

Licensed for 20 years with the same call, I am originally from the New
York City/ North Jersey area and still own the 441.250 and 53.77 MHz
repeaters there. It takes a lot of effort to spit out the "KA2AYR/0" in
pileups, but I don't think I'll change it.

Professionally, I am in Wireless Communications (more specifically,
public safety radio) and have an FCC General Radiotelephone Operator's
License with Radar endorsement and maintain other industry
certifications. I am the Vice President of the Missouri Association of
Public Safety Communications Officials, International, and have
maintained many positions and appointments in the public and private
sector in communications, as an officer in a Sheriff's department, as a
volunteer Fire Chief and a former New York City EMS Paramedic. I have
gone on record opposing the recent foray by the telecommunications
industry against the 440/ 420 band. I would rather see more relaxed
adjacent channel sharing of unused television channels, compulsory
narrowbanding and movement away from voice communications modes to
accomodate the industry's voracity.  I am presently working as an
independent consultant and mostly troubleshoot underconstructed 800 MHz
public safety trunking systems.

At home I'm married to Susan, KC0BLF, and we have three children,
Caitlyn (5), Steve Jr. (2) and Robert Dominick (9 wks.).

I have a certificate in Public Service Administration from Fairleigh
Dickinson University and am near completion of a BA in Management and
Communications from Concordia University. I am also certified as a Fire
Officer.

My name is Tom and really don't expect anyone to read this. If you are
reading this, please let me know. I would be very curious as to why you
would be reading this.

Since you are obviously here, I'll tell you a little about me. I first
became fascinated with radio when I was about 5 years old while
visiting my grandmother. She had a small table-top Emerson radio that
could tune just a little bit above the standard AM broadcast band. At
the time, a number of local police and fire departments were using this
area of spectrum. Just a bit farther up the dial, people talking...just
simple conversation. Who are these people?

I went home and asked permission to fire-up the old Hallicrafters to
give a spin through the dial and see who else I could hear.

The rest, is a 30+ year love of radio...commercial, old-time radio
history, shortwave and amateur radio.

I'm married with a baby on the way as of this writing, 06July1998.
This will be our first. I am a police officer for the 6th largest
municipal police agency in the state of New Jersey. I've been doing it
for 13 years now. Prior to and since becoming a police officer, I had
done EMS and heavy rescue work for 18 years.

I'm on VHF and UHF the most lately, 2m, 432Mhz, and 6m mostly, but
spend enough time on HF phone in the 20,40, and 75m bands. I can
frequently be found on various ham satellites and hopefully by the end
of this summer (98) I will be on EME. I don't contest and avoid
repeaters as much as possible...I even lower my power to the level
needed to maintain the desired communication.

I am starting to become disenchanted by the whole radio thing, though.

Just figured I'd let y'all know that. I love the concept of radio...
I'm getting tired of being a ham simply because of what has become of
the hobby in the passed few years.

Hi, my name is Tim Murphy and I am a High School student at the Academy
for Engineering and Design Technologies in New Jersey.  I enjoy many
fields of Amateur Radio including, high speed CW, HF operation, SSTV,
ragchew, and more.  These are only a few of the Amateur fields that I
am interested in.  As a young Ham, I am always willing to take on a new
aspect of Amateur Radio.  Probably my most favorite part of the Amateur
Radio hobby is collecting QSL cards.  QSL cards are something that I
take pride in, so if you have a QSL card and you have worked me, send
it along!  The more interesting the card, the better!  I am also a
member of the ARRL, the Fair Lawn ARC, and the Bergen ARA (of which I
am the club Webmaster/SYSADMIN- check out the page at
http://www.bara.org).

Outside of Amateur Radio I enjoy many other hobbies.  Some of them
include, but are not limited to the following:  Computers, engineering,
model rocketry, bicycling, track and field, SCUBA diving / power
boating / sailing, community service, Boy Scouts of America, disc
jockey / audio / sound systems, camping / hiking, electronic
journalism, and more.

If you would like to contact me about any questions, please feel free
to (via E-mail or QSL).  You can also check out my website at

other websites that I work on (including http://www.bara.org and

I got into ham radio in November of 1996 when my father, W2AOF, was
telephoned by the local RACES group to help provide communication
support for the annual South Plainfield Labor Day parade.  Up to that
point I thought the hobby was the dusty old Heathkit HW-32A in the
corner of the basement-- it never occured to me that ham radio
technology had progressed so far.  I knew the minute I saw that little
handheld that this was a hobby I could really enjoy.

After I got my license, it's not surprising that I took so quickly to
VHF/UHF public service, that being what brought me to it in the first
place.  I all but ignored HF work and CW in favor of tweaking my VHF
station and ragchewing with the local OMs.  It was like that up until
moved to Baltimore MD to the University of Maryland Baltimore County.
Finally around October of 1997 I joined the W3EAX club and got exposed
to avid CW HF operators like NF3I who encouraged me to get on the air
every week and try my code.

If you're looking up this call chances are you just heard the W3EAX
station chattering away on 80 meters under my clumsy fingertips, so
thanks for your patience and helping me with my code speed.  My
progress on learning CW is slow, but I did pass my Tech Plus in March
and I try to get on the computer every day to do a little work so who
knows what the future could bring.

My three ham family includes my father Bill W2AOF and my sister Cindy
KC2BIQ.  As far as club affiliations go, you might hear me on the air
with the Electronic Technology Society of NJ (K2ETS), the Piscataway
Amateur Radio Club (K2VOA), the Columbia Amatuer Radio Club (K3CUJ),
the  Baltimore Amateur Radio Club (W3FT) or most often the Amateur
Radio Association at the University of Maryland (W3EAX) and hopefully
soon my own University of Maryland Baltimore County ARC, coming soon.

Hope to hear you on the air again soon.  73, Rob

I've been interested  in radio since I was about five years old.  I
started with scanners and listened to radio communications. I finally
was told about Amateur Radio. I was able to study for my No-Code Tech
license class. I received my license on January 30, 1998. At the age of
14 I was licensed .

I started with a 2 meter HTX-202 and a 3 amp power supply to run the
radio. I enjoyed 2 meters very much. I then purchased the HTX 404 HT
and put up an Cushcraft  AR-270B for a base antenna.  I was now on
VHF/UHF. I then purchased an Icom 2350 and an Alinco DR-610TQ.

I am currently studying my 5 wpm to get down to HF! I can't wait to
operate CW and phone. I never though CW would be as fun and enjoyable
as it is!!

That's basically my story on how I started. I also belong to S.I.  ARES
and help out at many Public Service events.

Hi, thanks for checking my biography.

My name is Dave ( the Henry bit was my parents' idea; not mine).

I have two callsigns - the one you've just found is my US license
kc2dgm and the other is my UK licence m0bgr. This is because I am
working in US and the Alien Recipricol permit rules don't let me do
what I want to, so I sat down and took the US General ticket.

I work QRP for both London and Nyack,NY. On 2m and 70 cm, FM,I use a
Yaesu FT-50 hand held and on HF an SGC sg-2020, usually CW and usually
at around 5W QRP. Both locations are 'challenging' from the antenna
point of view ( basically they are banned in both places).  Getting any
sort of signal out at all is difficult, so please be be patient when
you work me - QRP is tough with clandestine antenna !

Hello,

I am a new ham and have only had my "ticket", since May 27th,1998.

I had been meaning to get into ham radio, many years ago, but never
really followed through on it till recently. My interest for ham radio
started about the time i was 13 or 14. One of my mothers cousins, was a
licensed ham. His cal was, and still is W2LMP. While in high school, a
amateur radio club was formed at the school and i became a member. But
i never obtained my license. I fell away from the hobby after
graduating from high school, and really didn't bother with it for a few
years.

In 1970, i joined the U.S.Navy, through the reserve program. In 1971, i
reported for mandiatory active duty at Norfolk VA. My rating at the
time was a seaman 1st class. I was sent to the Med. and assigned to the
U.S.S.Springfield CLG-7, homeported in Gaeta Italy. I was just a deck
hand, and soon found a dislike for it. I stuck out for a rating in the
communications dept. and was accepted. I quickly gained the rank of
RM-3, and became a transmitter specilist. I had to tune up and patch
through many different types of navy x-miters. I acquired a little
knowledge of cw, but never really learned it completely, for it wasn't
really needed for the job i had been assigned.

I was discharged from active duty, in 1973 and served in the active
reserves until 1976. Until about 1987, i completely forgot about
"radio" in any form except am and fm. At that time i started a new job
and became acquaited with another employee who was a "ham". Over the
years since starting that job, i've been in contact with him off and
on. He has always spoke greatly of his hobby and has always urged me to
obtain my "ticket".

Well, i've finally obtained it and owe a great amount of thanks to
KB2OMU. Thanks Buddy.

Well, enough talking for now. I plan on upgrading soon, although i am
enjoying 2 meter and trying to enjoy packet, now.  So, with all said,
73..maybe i'll talk to you on the air sometime in the not to distance
future.

Aloha from Hawai'i!  So. . . What do you write for a biography?  Having
been born and raised in Hawai'i you learn during what we call "small
kid time", that you don't blow your own horn.  Well, I work for the
Oahu Civil Defense Agency in Honolulu.  I have what I consider to be a
very cool job.  As Education and Training Officer a big part of my job
is going out and talking to people to educate them on disaster
preparedness.  Here in Hawaii the big hairy nasty disasters are
hurricanes. We have had two bad ones, Hurricane Iwa (EE-VUH) in 1982
and Hurricane Iniki (EE-KNEE-KEY) in 1992.  So, I have lots to talk
about, I just hope somebody is listening!  I am also responsible for
Emergency Public Information that is broadcast on the Emergency Alert
System and I get to "talk story" with the local media folks as the
agency's Public Information Officer.

Prior to my joining Oahu Civil Defense I spent roughly 10 years with
the American Red Cross Disaster Services.  I have worked various
disasters (Hurricanes, Typhoons, Earthquakes and an aviation incident)
in the Pacific and CONUS. Got two spend three years TDY with Red Cross
Disaster Services in Guam and Saipan. If you ever want to check out
typhoons and nasty tropical storms, Guam and the Northern Mariana
Islands are THE places.  Don't forget to enjoy the scenery and the
people, both are excellent!

Hey, I almost forgot the HAM stuff!  I got my license while TDY in Guam
and I primarily operate on 2 meter.  I work a Kenwood 733 mobile and

Art received his general class license in 1969 and upgraded to Extra in
1971, taking all the exam elements at the old Federal Building on
Washington Street in lower Manhattan. First rig was a Heathkit DX-60B
which was operated on CW and AM. Today Art is active on 160 through 10
meters as well as 2M and 70CM.

Art's operating includes hf cw/ssb contesting, Dx'ing and general
ragchewing. He also enjoys packet, some satellite work (RS-12, MIR, and
AO-27), and vhf/uhf fm. You might also catch him operating "high
fidelity" AM on 75 meters with his classic Viking Valiant.

Part of a true ham family, Art's wife and 2 of 3 kids are also hams.
Art currently is involved with three local radio clubs (Radio Central,
Larkfield ARC, and the Mid Island ARC.) in the Long Island area.

Hello from N2BZD

My main mode of operation is CW especially on 40 and 30 meters.

I have been a ham since September 1979 when I was 14 years old.  The
first rig here was one of the last HW 101's.  I then moved up to a TS
520se and now currently use a TS 440s.  I have never ran a linear Amp
and probably never will choose to do so.  The heftyest rig I have is an
old SWAN 265 that puts out 600 W PEP on SSB/ 500  W DC on CW, but that
rig is rarely in use.

The prefered antenna here is my 40 meter inverted vee at 40 ft.  I also
have inverted Vees for 80 and 20 meters and am active on 80, 40, 30,
20, 17, 15, 10, and 2 meters when the tropo kicks in.

Amateur Radio started me on a technology career, first in electrical
engineering then in science teaching in a small town high school.  Now
in the late 1990s my interests are in computer science.

On the technical side of Amateur Radio I still enjoy propagation
studies, antenna design, and QRP topics ranging from building QRP rigs
with bipolar transistors to operating techniques.

My other interests include Computer Operating Systems( UNIX BSD, DOS,
and especially GUI systems like Windows 98).

On the nontechnical side weight lifting and four wheel drive trucks are
of interest to me.

Hi! Welcome to my little corner of the WRAD. I've been a ham for over
25 years (in 1997) starting out in Brooklyn, NY. I had a Heathkit DX-60
transmitter (with lots of crystals) and an HR-10B receiver. At the time
I thought Albany, NY was DX! I've since moved a bit, and ended up in a
townhouse in Carol Stream, IL (maybe 30 miles west of Chicago) with my
dog Scamp.

I haven't done very much operating in the past few years since I wasn't
able to get permission for an outdoor antenna. However, my townhome
association gave me permission to erect one (I think they just wanted
to shut me up!). Their guidelines were very stringent, but a Cushcraft
R7000 met all the requirements. I also have VHF and UHF antennas in the
attic.

I've been dividing my operating time between CW and SSB (with some RTTY
and PACTOR thown in), but my CW has deteriorated seriously! So I'll
need to polish that up quite a bit if I'm ever going to get my Extra
ticket. Much of my operating is on the WARC bands (when will we stop
calling them that?)- they're a haven from the horror of contests.
Actually, since the WARC bands are so narrow, I think output power
should be limited to about 200 watts. Hey, when 18 or 24 meters are
open you don't really need that much power. When they're not open, no
(legal) amount of power will help!


Hey, if you hear me on the air give me a call, but only if you've got
time to spare (I'm a confirmed ragchewer)!

Hi!  I think this World Radio Amateur Directory is a GREAT idea!

I'd like to invite you to stop by my web site to check out some of my
other interests.  I'm a ham married to a ham (N2ATJ).  I'm into
aviation (private pilot), computers, ORACLE, motorcycle racing (I'm my
son's pit crew), AMSAT, AOPA, photography, traffic handling, public
service communications, ARRL.  Among the nifty features on my web site
are lists of famous people who are (or were) hams, and a pretty
complete list of all the astronauts and cosmonauts with amateur radio
licenses.


I am a member of all the afore-mentioned organizations, plus the David
Sarnoff Radio Club (Princeton, NJ) and the Delaware Valley Radio
Association (West Trenton, NJ).


I am a graduate of Rutgers College (at Rutgers, the State University of
New Jersey), with a Masters Degree from The College of New Jersey
(formerly Trenton State College Graduate School).  I am a Certified
Technical Trainer.


Want to know more?  I'll send you my resume on request...just ask!
