"Callsign": "K0HA",
"Bio": "In the summer of '65 when I was 13 years old my family went on a trip\r\nto Chicago. We went to the Allied Radio store and purchased a Knight-\r\nKit Span Master shortwave receiver for me to build. I studied for my\r\nnovice license and received my WN0OCW license in January 1966. The\r\nonly station outside of North America that I worked as a novice was a\r\nHA in Hungary. A year later I passed the general test (WA0OCW). In\r\n1970 I passed my First Class Commercial Radio-telephone license and\r\nwent to work for KLMS-AM as a broadcast engineer while I was a senior\r\nin high school. They had a 5 tower phased array then which influenced\r\nmy later ham antenna choices. Later, I designed a directional array\r\nfor them which showed how their power could be increased during the\r\ndaylight hours (that followed). I continued working in broadcast radio\r\nas an engineer until 1990. I designed and led construction of KFOR and\r\nKFRX's current studio site in 1988. In 1977 I passed the extra exam\r\nand in 1978 changed to K0HA. While living in Waverly, NE my low band\r\nantennas evolved into a six element parasitic vertical array primarily\r\ndesigned for 40 and 80 meters--it was later made to perform on 160 as\r\nwell (used when winning the 1987 USA plaque for the CQ 160 Meter Phone\r\nContest [my last contest seriously entered]). In 1990 I purchased an\r\nexisting commercial two-way radio store (Deremer Radio) from a retiring\r\nowner in Seward, NE. In 1993 I added the RadioShack franchise to it to\r\nbetter diversify things. In 1991 I finally moved to a home near\r\nSeward. With my 10 acres found (7 still farmed), I planned with the\r\nlow bands still as my chief desire. I decided to build a directional\r\nantenna specifically for 160 meters for the first time. It has slowly\r\nevolved to a 4 element parasitic vertical array (3 elements are in-line\r\ntowards Europe/South Pacific). Last winter 6 elements were in-line\r\ntoward Europe on 80/40M (4 active on 80, all 6 on 40). That driven\r\nelement also works on 30M. I also have a TH-5 at 88 feet high and a\r\nhomebrew six element 17/12 meter Yagi at 56'. Last winter I had 8 low\r\nband Beverage antennas with azimuths at 8, 30, 43, 86, 140, 261, 323,\r\nand 352 degrees. My current HF equipment includes: Kenwood TS-870 and\r\nTS-830S, Ten-Tec Titan amplifier, a homebrew amplifier (w/3 813's),\r\nMFJ-1026 noise filter, Beverage preamp, and many homebrew accessories\r\nsuch as a 12 position Beverage selection box. I also have a 17'\r\ncollinear 146/445 MHz antenna with its base 90' above ground, a HTX-212\r\non 2 meters, a Johnson 40 watt commerical UHF radio on 440, a MFJ-1270C\r\nTNC, and 3 computers...\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: K0HA - Thu Aug 13 23:08:39 1998\r\n"

I started into ham radio at the age of 16. I became a general\r\nclass operator in 1966, obtained the Advanced class license in 1975,\r\nand a First Class Radiotelephone license in 1970.\r\n\r\nI was in the Army between 1958 and 1965 working as a nuclear weapons\r\nspecialists. When I got out, I went to work in the commercial two-way\r\nradio business, and in 1973 I opened my own sales and service shop.\r\n\r\nI went to school, in the fifties, at Normandy, Missouri and in the late\r\nsixties I managed to squeeze in 3 years at the University of Missouri.\r\n\r\nIn 1970 I organized and started the St. Louis Six Meter Repeater Club.\r\nIn 1988 I organized and started the St. Louis Pilots Radio Club. The\r\ngeneral interest in the Six Meter club decayed in the eighties and the\r\nnew pilots club never amounted to much.\r\n\r\nI am presently active on all bands up to 440 mhz, all modes. I have a\r\nweekly sked every Tuesday morning, at 0730 CST, with K0PJG on 7083 CW.\r\n\r\nI have also been interested in flying all my life. I started building\r\nand flying models in 1954 and in 1987 purchased a CESSNA 150 N5913G\r\n(shown in pic) and in 1987 obtained the private pilots license. I\r\nbecame instrument rated in 1989. I no longer fly due to heart problems\r\nbut I had some of my most enjoyable years back in the late 1980's and\r\nearly 1990's with my airplane.

I kept my\r\nTech license til 1973 when I upgraded to Advanced class. That same\r\nyear I became KA1BFK. I opereated a lot of six meters from Central\r\nMaine.

"Callsign": "K0UX",
"Bio": "K0UX was first licensed in 1970 as WN0CHP. The original station\r\nconsisted of a Heathkit DX-20 crystal controlled CW only transmitter\r\nand a Knightkit R-55A receiver. A 40 meter dipole was used on both 40\r\nand 15 meters. Four crystals for 40 meters and three crystals for 15\r\nmeters controlled the seven total frequencies on which the station\r\ncould operate. However, all novices were restricted to crystal\r\ncontrolled transmitters at that time. It was not unusual to have a QSO\r\nwith another station who was transmitting several kHz away from your\r\ntransmitting frequency. About one year after getting on the air, WN0CHP\r\nupgraded to General Class with an automatic callsign change to WB0CHP.\r\nA few years later, the Advanced Class was achieved. The call was\r\nchanged to KB0XX in the late 1970's. After two (or was it three)\r\nunsuccessful attempts, the Extra Class test was finally passed in the\r\nlate 1980's. K0UX was obtained in 1996. Most frequent operation is on 2\r\nmeter FM, 10 meter SSB, and CW on 40, 20, & 15 meters\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: K0UX - Tue Aug 25 19:05:02 1998\r\n"

I got into amateur radio ten\r\nyears ago with the help of my son-in-law, W3MC. I have 4 grown\r\nchildren (two are hams - N9IIC & N9HAO) and 7 grandchildren and one\r\nwife (N9OAR). We moved to Duluth 3yrs. ago from Ashland, WI which\r\nisn't very far away. Except that in Ashland I had a 50 ft. tower and\r\na beam antenna. I'm now reduced to a Cushcraft R7000 vertical, ground\r\nmounted up near the house (very near the house) so that my DX is\r\nnonexistent, but radio is radio and I have just as much fun to talking\r\naround the USA as overseas. (it's the challenge that counts) My current\r\nrx/tx is a Kenwood 570D which was a great improvement over my Icom\r\n735. I plan to get a Kachina 505 since that will fit in with my\r\ncomputer activities - yes, I spend a fair amount of time on the\r\ninternet. I even have a few web pages:\r\nhttp://members.tripod.com/~k0xj/index.html and\r\nhttp://www.qsl.net/k0xj/index.html and\r\nhttp://www.angelfire.com/mn/k0xj/index.html These presented quite a\r\nchallenge in themselves - a lot of trial and error.

"Bio": "I finally took the plunge into the wonderful world of amateur radio\r\nafter taking Skywarn certification in 1996. My husband, WA0BOF, has\r\nbeen a ham since he was 14, with time off for Vietnam. He encouraged\r\nme to be one, too, first by buying me a scanner one year for my\r\nbirthday, and then, when I decided I wanted to talk back to those I\r\nheard, helped me study for my no-code tech. When I wanted to upgrade,\r\nhe reminded me of code practice, and hooked up a code practice\r\noscillator to insure my success. In return, I helped my husband with\r\nbuilding our antenna system. I also owe a certain debt to the guy I\r\nwent with all throughout college. I absorbed a good deal of knowledge\r\nfrom just being around him (he taught me to solder), and it helped me\r\nwhen I decided to get my radio licenses.\r\n\r\nMy main interest remains public service. I have both basic and\r\nadvanced Skywarn certificates, and I hold RACES membership. We are\r\nequipped to deploy to the nearest hospital in case disaster strikes\r\nwith mobile setups in both the 4WD and my car. We are active in the\r\nK9KE Magic Net group meeting in nearby Godfrey, IL.\r\n\r\nI also help my husband stay organized with his 20-meter projects, and I\r\nkeep track of all of our QSL cards. My next goals are to continue to\r\nupgrade my licenses, and to work all states.

I have\r\nan 8X57 Turkish Mauser I am sportsterizing and a TC 54 cal Hawkin kit I\r\nam building. I also enjoy reloading for the above.\r\n\r\nMy computers include a 300 Pentium II, 120 Pentium, 120 486 for packet\r\nand a 40 meg 386 penbase sub-notebook for portable packet. For radios\r\nI like them all. I have HF, VHF, and UHF in dependable solid state\r\nrigs. Then I have the really fun stuff that glows in the dark like\r\n700CX, 500C, 350C Swans, a Drake TR-4, and a NC-300 with a Johnson\r\nViking Ranger.\r\n\r\nTo support all this fun stuff and my 14 year old son, Paul, I drive a\r\ntruck for a contract carrier hauling mail for the U.S. Postal Service.\r\nI drive the last leg of a relay run that starts in Memphis, TN and goes\r\nto Denver. I run from Lamar, CO to Denver, CO and return each day. This\r\nway I get to sleep in my own bed every night and have regular days off\r\nso I don't have to neglect the hobbies.\r\n\r\nRev: KI0IM - Tue Jun 23 7:08:34 1998\r\n"

General class upgrade was accomplished in 6\r\nmonths. Advanced class took longer, until 1968, and Extra class even\r\nlonger, not until 1997. After graduation from college with a degree in\r\nMathematics and Physics, I began my career as a budding computer\r\nprogrammer for the Boeing Company in 1966. Numerous life twists and\r\nturns brought me back to the Seattle Washington area in 1991 at Boeing\r\nagain. I was QRX from Ham radio at the time and it wasn't until finding\r\nthe extra-ordinary book 'Antenna Techniques for Low Band DXing' by Jon\r\nDeVoldere did I find myself hooked on radio agian in 1995. Since then,\r\nI have been like a teen ager all over and have even aspired to invent\r\nand publish. In the works are: 'A Compact Mobile Tuner' accepted by\r\nQEX; 'Simplified Antenna Cutrrent Monitoring' for Hints and Kinks; 'A\r\nvariable 1:5:1 Auto Antenna Transformer' not yet accepted; and a\r\ndynamite antenna design project for low band dxing that I hope to\r\nspring on the unsuspecting world very soon. Retirement is imminent and\r\nI hope to spend the future at my lake cabin in Meeker County, Minnesota\r\nwhere it seems the DX flows like honey.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: W0OPW - Mon Jun 24 8:52:29 2030\r\n"

One\r\nof my family's favorite places is Lynch Park, which has two beaches\r\nand, very important, two playgrounds and an ice cream stand.\r\n\r\nFor ham radio, I still find construction and experimenting most\r\nsatisfying. Any special modes, such as ATV (FSTV and SSTV), RTTY,\r\nsatellites, are of particular interest. Making a few points on a good\r\ncontest weekend, or catching a new DX country is a lot of fun, too.\r\n\r\n\r\nI invite you to visit our web site at http://www.thecia.net/users/joens\r\n\r\n\r\n73 de Michael, K1JE\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: K1JE - Mon Jul 20 20:00:58 1998\r\n"

We read about amateur radio\r\nand learning the code in Popular Mechanics magazine. Studied and\r\nlearned the code before we found a ham to give us the Novice test,\r\nissued WN1GDB in 1955. Biggest kick was working across the pond to \"G\"\r\nland. It is still a kick. Then as a guest of the US Government, into\r\nthe US Army, trained as a radio op, 18 WPM. This got the code speed up\r\nto 18+ WPM...Upgraded to W1GDB while in the Army. When out of the Army\r\nupgraded to Extra.

I have been what\r\nmany people would call a \"radio junkie\", for over 30 years. My first\r\nintroduction to Amateur Radio occured when I was 11 years old. I had\r\nalready been a SWL since the age of 7. One night in 1971, I was moving\r\nup and down the 80 meter band and heard some very strong AM signals, in\r\nand around the area of 3885 kHz. It was not the \"quack, quack, quack\"\r\nsound of SSB, but rather the full \"broadcast quality\" sound of AM. I\r\nwas hearing a QSO between W3RB and W2DSN. I was amazed with the arm-\r\nchair quality of the QSO. I did a little homework and got the home\r\naddress of W3RB (Mr. Robert L. Bomboy of Harrisburg, PA). I sent him a\r\nreport and was quickly rewarded with a QSL card. You could imagine how\r\nproud I felt getting that first QSL. I continued to listen to 3885 for\r\nmany years, hearing the famous WA1HLR (Timmy \"Timtron\" Smith) and his\r\ncrew on the \"Big '8-5\". I wanted to get in on the fun, myself. I\r\nstudied the code and the theory for years. It wasn't until my friend\r\nand mentor, WA1MNQ (Mike Valente from Massachusetts) gave me the\r\nincentive to take my test and know the code that I finally passed the\r\nexam in 1985. I got my license in August, 1985 and was assigned the\r\ncall-letters KA1NHJ. I later on took my Technician's exam and sure\r\nenough, PASSED ! I got my call-sign changed to N1GGP. Finally, I\r\nbecame a General in 1993. Now with the Vanity Call Sign Program in\r\nfull swing I thought it was the time to give my station a proper\r\n\"name\". Bob \"Wolfman Jack\" Smith has always been a \"hero\" of mine,\r\never since I got the \"DJ\" bug in 1973 with \"American Graffiti\" It is\r\nwith pleasure that my station be named K1XRB, in honor of the late\r\nWolfman Jack and his legendary \"Southern California Giant\" radio\r\nstation, X-E-R-B. He was the greatest and so is Amateur Radio. It is a\r\nhobby that I will NEVER outgrow. 73 de K1XRB.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: K1XRB - Tue Jul 21 15:39:28 1998\r\n"

After being active for about\r\nthree and a half years, college and competing interests resulted in my\r\ngoing long term QRT, and my license lapsed in 1968. However, I got\r\ninterested in short wave listening again about 1978, and began\r\ncollecting advanced commercial receivers, such as RACAL and Harris.\r\n\r\nThe Internet rekindled my interest in ham radio. I went to a hamfest\r\nin March 1997 and was hooked once again. Came back as an Extra in\r\nApril 1997 and went for a vanity call. I spend a significant amount of\r\ntime in Massachusetts, and operate out of Barre Massachusetts as a\r\nsecondary QTH. My long term plans are to move to Massachusetts full\r\ntime, and so my vanity call region is based on where I plan to be\r\ngoing, and not where I am or used to be. My QSL card is the Hoosac\r\nTunnel, a rail tunnel near the Massachusetts QTH. I like to go there\r\nto escape from the rest of the world.\r\n\r\nI am presently a semi-retired self employed attorney.

"Bio": "I've always been interested in radio. In my younger days, I was an\r\navid 11m user, and even payed to have my father get a CB callsign when\r\nyou needed a license to operate... it was KFY8027.\r\n\r\nAt that time, I heard about the bigger better Amateur Radio type\r\noperations, and began to look into it, but was discouraged by the long\r\ndrive to either Boston or Gettysburg to take the test, and eventually\r\nlet it drop. 11 year olds have limited access to that type of travel.\r\n\r\n27 years pass.\r\n\r\nIn July, 1997, I was at Boy Scout summer camp with my son, when I heard\r\nthat there would be a HAM radio demo in the Ham Shack on Tuesday\r\nevening. I went down to the shack, and met AA1DI. Noone else came\r\ndown that evening, so I spent about 2 hours learning about the changes\r\nin the testing structure that has happened in the last 27 years or so,\r\nand was pleased to find out about monthly testing at a local hospital\r\nauditorium. I was also told about \"Now You're Talking\", which I\r\npurchased within the next week.\r\n\r\nIn the next couple of weeks, I had little time to read the book, but\r\nduring the first week of August, I was on a trip to Fort A.P. Hill, in\r\nVirginia to attend the 1997 National Boy Scout Jamoboree. Because I\r\nwas not driving, I had plenty of time to look over the book, and\r\nplanned to take my Technician test the end of August when the local VE\r\nteam met.\r\n\r\nWhile at the Jamboree, I happened across the K2BSA operation. While\r\nthere, I was approached by one of the staff that I could operate if I\r\nhad my license. I replied that I was just learning and he told me that\r\nthey were giving the license test the next morning. \"Wouldn't you like\r\nto say that you got your first test at the '97 Jamboree?\". He was\r\nreeling me in at this point.\r\n\r\nI passed my Tech test there, got my Tech Plus at the end of the month,\r\nand tested as often as I could. I passed my 20 W.P.M to complete my\r\nEXTRA class just 350 days after that first test.\r\n\r\nI hope to continue mixing both my favorite hobbies, Scouting and\r\nHamming, by trying to do special events like JOTA for the Scout Camp\r\nand being a Radio merit badge counselor.\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: KE1JB - Mon Aug 3 6:59:40 1998\r\n"

The night was November 9, 1965\r\nand I was listening to 75 meters when it happened. For those on the\r\nEast Coast this date you should remember; the Great Blackout of 1965.\r\nAfter that, radio was in my blood. I was first licensed in 1967 as\r\nWN1HFE. Unfortunately at that time I didn't upgrade and was out of ham\r\nradio for a number of years. In 1974 I again was a Novice with the\r\ncall of WA1UOX and in 1976 I upgraded to General. I got my old call,\r\nWA1HFE, back in the late seventies and didn't upgrade again until\r\nFebruary of 1984 when I got my Advanced. In August of 1984 I got my\r\nExtra and my present call, KW1V. I like to check into traffic nets,\r\nthe WAS nets on 75 & 40M and dabble with packet radio. I also run a\r\nYaesu FT-7B in my car while I deliver the local newspaper in the wee\r\nhours of the morning. My home station consists of a Drake T4XC & R4C\r\nand a dipole antenna. That has worked quite well for me. I also use\r\nwhen needed a Yaesu FT-2100B amp. My other intersets are amateur\r\nastronomy, following the space program, sci-fi reading and spending\r\ntime with my 10 year old son. I work at Madrigal Audio Labs, Inc. in\r\nMiddletown, Conn. and we build high-end audio products.

To all those single ladies in amateur radio I am 36 yr. old\r\nbachelor who's always looking.\r\n\r\n\r\nI've recently finished converting a GE mastr2 radio into a 6 meter\r\nrepeater. The conversion was easier than I had at first anticipated. I\r\nnow have two more Mastr2's I'm converting to the 6 meter band. The\r\noriginal repeater is now on Carpenter hill in Walpole, NH at 1475' in\r\nGrid FN33TA and it's working just fine. The frequency is 53.430/52.430\r\nwith an 88.5 pl encode/decode. It's precise location is Latitude 43\r\ndegrees 02 minutes 00 seconds North, Longitude 72 degrees 22 minutes 15\r\nseconds West. The antenna is a Diamond DPGH-62 vertical about 15' above\r\nthe ground and the power out is about 80 watts. It reaches well into\r\ncentral Massachusetts in the Connecticut river valley. Maybe now I'll\r\nget daring and try another one, maybe 2 meter?\r\n\r\n\r\nI have done a little with the amateur satellites. I miss Oscar 13! I\r\ncan't wait for Phase 3D. I'm ready for it are you?

"Bio": "A pleasant good day to you from Dave at N1WAY I was first licensed in\r\n1960 as KN1IQF. I tried for my General ticket but did not pass the\r\ntest after a few months operating on the air. Then it was off to\r\ncollege, the service, marriage, kids, kids college, career etc etc. The\r\nsummer of 1995, I met a ham who had been a ham for about 40 years, we\r\nchatted while he stayed at the motel that my wife and I operate in\r\nMystic, CT. He took me out to see the rig he and his wife had in his\r\npickup. It was as small as a CB radio, and he fired it up and within\r\nminutes was chatting with another ham in Quito, Ecuador. This really\r\nexcited me, and I was hooked again. For the next few months, I studied\r\ncode and theory and took the exam in October 1995. I passed the exams\r\nand became a Tech Plus. In May of 1998 I passed my General tests. Now\r\nI am down on 20 Meters and having a lot of fun. Most nights I can be\r\nfound on 14.319 or 14.327 working with a couple of missionary nets.\r\nThis is really what I got back into radio for. Others had used Ham\r\nRadio to pass phone patches for me in the past, now I can sort of pay\r\nback what was given to me. If you share a similar interest, e-mail me,\r\nsnail-mail me, or meet me on 20 meters. I was really \"lucky\" when I got\r\nmy callsign.

I am also a member in\r\ngood standing of the Antigonish Amateur Radio Club, which is a small\r\ngroup of 30 members. I have some basic wiring skills.\r\n\r\n\r\nOn my 18-speed racing bicycle, I have 2 motorcycle batteries, to which\r\nI have wired 8 red taillights on the back of my parcel carrier, and 4\r\nyellow lights on the front of the forks, and right and left signals,\r\nand 3 headlights in front of the handle bars. And they all light up\r\ntogether when I am driving around at night. I also use the signal\r\nlights during the daytime which works better than hand and arm signals,\r\nwhich we were taught way back when. I also have a sharpening business\r\nin which I sharpen anything but ice skates. I pick up cans, plastic,\r\nglass and beer bottles all over town to pass the time.\r\n\r\n\r\nMy radio equipment is as follows: A Ranger RCI-2950, 10- and 11-Meter\r\nBand radio that covers 26.000 -32.000 MHz.

My 3 antennas are a 2 meter 6 and\r\n9 element quads that I built myself and a 2 meter J-pole and also a\r\nG5RV Antenna for HF listening.

"Bio": "I was introduced to radio at the age of 9, when my father brought a\r\ncollege text on basic radio theory home to satisfy my curiosity. The\r\ntheory was a challenge, but with the radio text and an early ARRL\r\nhandbook, I learned the basics, and was fixing tube type radios through\r\nage 14 when I met John Davidson, now K8JD. John, was not just\r\nreceiving signals, he was transmitting them. He had a simple crystal\r\ncontrolled tube type transmitter, built on an RG Dunn cigar box.\r\n\r\nNot long after, I was reviewing the morse code which I had learned from\r\nan instructor at Boy Scout Troop 2 in Southfield, Michigan. The code\r\ncame back and I was soon sitting in the FCC office in Detroit, Michigan\r\nwriting a novice examination.\r\n\r\nJohn and I studied while I waited for my Novice license to arrive. By\r\nthe time I held WN8CAL in my young hand, we were ready to take our\r\ngeneral class examinations. As WA8CAL and WA8AFS, we both began study\r\nfor our Extra class examinations, and were ready at the earliest\r\ntesting we could arrange after our minimum time was up. We both passed\r\nand received nothing for our efforts, except a certificate. (There\r\nwere no added privelages back then for taking the 20 wpm code test or\r\nExtra Theory.)\r\n\r\nThe recession in 1974 Detroit, found me as a working man with a\r\nfamily. I had been unemployed for 13 months, and besides driving my\r\nlovely wife, Ann, nuts by just being around too much, I was beginning\r\nto loose my self esteem. I had to do something. I followed work to\r\nSwift Current, Saskatchewan, Canada where I worked as an electrician,\r\nand later an instructor at Saskathewan Technical Institute, while Ann\r\nand I developed a 54 head dairy farm. I became an electrical\r\ncontractor and ran a backhoe and trenching service. You would think\r\nwith a name like Success Electric that VE5DB had it made, but a strain\r\nof mastitis hit our herd that would not respond to antibiotics. We\r\nlost it all, and started over in Alberta. Now VE6DN, I worked for a\r\nreally excellent contractor, RD Electric. When the owner,Clarence, ran\r\nout of work, I had to tell him to lay me off. He just did not have the\r\nheart to do it. I finally got the pink slip, filled it out and gave it\r\nto him to sign. People like that are hard to find. Fro\r\n\r\nEventually I took a transfer to Yukon and VY1JA was on the air. There\r\nis no looking back for Ann and me.

In 1894 at age 20,he began his\r\nexperiments from the top floor of his family's Villa Grifone near\r\nBologna, Italy. Using homemade equipment, Marconi was able to send and\r\nreceive signals up to 30 feet by the end of the first year. The next\r\nyear he had reached a mile, and by 1901,Marconi's Wireless was\r\ndependable up to 200 miles. Suddenly, wireless telegraphy was the rage\r\nin both Europe and North America. \"SPANNING the OCEAN\" Marconi's dream\r\nwas to transmit a signal over the Atlantic. To do this, stations were\r\nconstructed in Poldhu,England, St. John's Newfoundland and South\r\nWellfleet, Massachusetts. Transmitting these distances using long\r\nelectromagnetic waves required ample power and huge antennas. After\r\nfailing in several attempts, four 210 foot wooden towers held the\r\narrays at all three locations. The transmitting frequency was below 300\r\nKHZ in the 1000 meter band. The signal was produced by a 35,000 watt\r\nrotary spark gap transmitter. It is said that neighbors several miles\r\naway could hear the noise from the spark gap! The first successful\r\nTransatlantic contact was made on January 18,1903 when greetings were\r\nexchanged between President Theodore Roosevelt and King Edward VII\r\nusing the International Morse Code. \"THE YEARS of OPERATION\" Within\r\nmonths, NEW YORK TIMES and the LONDON TIMES received news an ocean away\r\nvia the Poldhu and South Wellfleet stations. Ocean liners soon added\r\nthe Marconi wireless equipment to receive news broadcasts and transmit\r\nmessages for passengers for fifty cents a word. While technological\r\ndevelopments sometimes become routine, ship-to-shore communication held\r\nits romance as news spread of many daring sea rescues. Interest reached\r\na dramatic level with the wireless- aided rescue of 700 Titanic\r\npassengers by the Carpathia in 1912. For fifteen years, skilled\r\ntelegraphers tapped out messages at 17 WPM making station CC, in effect\r\nthe first \"Voice of America.\" However, by 1916, the sea cliff was\r\neroding and two of the towers were threatened with collapse. The next\r\nyear the station was closed to ensure security during World War I and\r\nall the while technical advances were being made that were soon to\r\nrender spark-gap transmitters obsolete. In 1920, \"CC\" was scrapped and\r\nthe barn-red towers were dismantled. Marconi's impact was great. When\r\nGugielmo Marconi died, a final respect was paid as all wireless\r\nstations around the world were silenced in his honor. No other person\r\never received such a recognition, and no others have received it\r\nsince.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: W1AA - Wed Jul 8 6:48:40 1998\r\n"

The club plans to use\r\nW1BB \"ONLY\" on 160 meters where Stew had made his presence known and\r\nheard for many years.

Using\r\ntelegraphy became a great part of my life as it was the only mode\r\navailable to the Novice at that time. I progressed through the ranks\r\nand passed each of the amateur examinations in sequence. The only\r\nthing that changed was the elimination of the first \"N\" of my callsign\r\nwhich designated my original Novice license. K1EYN remained with me\r\nuntil April of 1997 when I applied for the callsign, W1HZ. The\r\ndecision to make this change was difficult, as K1EYN was as much a part\r\nof me as my own name.\r\n\r\n\r\nI am a consultant in the computer industry having spent 14 years with\r\nDigital Equipment Corporation.

"Bio": "My name is Bob and my QTH is Belmont, Massachusetts. My QSL card\r\npictures a World War II Destroyer Escort, a small destroyer designed\r\nfor convoying and anti-submarine warfare. This QSL card pictures the\r\nUSS Scott (DE-214) whereas the ship I served on was the USS Sederstrom\r\n(DE-31), named after Ens. Delmore Sederstrom who served on the USS\r\nOklahoma (BB-37). After the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7,\r\n1941, he was listed as MIA (Missing In Action). I served aboard my\r\nship as a radioman. From this QSL card I believe you can imagine it\r\nwas \"fun\" copying CW when underway in a rough sea. The Navy\r\ntransmitted messages to the fleet initially from Hawaii and later from\r\nGuam after that island was recaptured. We were required to copy all\r\nmessages. Messages, which were coded, five letters to a group, were\r\ntransmitted at a speed of from 18 wpm to 30 wpm, depending on the\r\namount of traffic (messages to be sent). The messages were copied on a\r\n\"mill\", navy terminology for a typewriter. The letters on a \"mill\"\r\nwere upper case only, and the zero had a slash through it to\r\ndistinguish it from the letter O. Being originally from Maine, after\r\nthe war I took advantage of the GI Bill and attended the Univ. of\r\nMaine, after which I came to Boston and was employed by the John\r\nHancock Insurance Company. I have retired from this company, yet now\r\nwonder how I managed to work a full week and get all the chores done\r\naround this place. My wife, Joan, is from Belmont, and a retired\r\nnurse.

Designation as a memorial station is\r\nrare since the FCC no longer issues special or memorial licenses. The\r\nMeriden Amateur Radio Club is one of the few clubs left to have one.\r\nMARC has a long history and tradition that goes back to 1947.\r\n\r\nIn the autumn of 1947, following World War II, the Meriden Amateur\r\nRadio Club took form to fill the needs of area hams. The Meriden YMCA\r\nwas the site of the first meeting of a handful of eager young radio\r\noperators.\r\n\r\nAfter a few temporary sites, Dossin Beach Building at Hanover Pond was\r\nacquired from the City of Meriden. Things really started to happen.\r\nMembership exploded, antennas sprang up, stations were assembled and\r\nthe FCC issued a call, W1SBF, to the emerging group.\r\n\r\nEd Bisschert, W1NRG, joined MARC after serving his World War II duty as\r\na Navy Chief Radioman. A dedicated club booster, he held several\r\nelected posts. He urged all to master the Morse Code and worked with\r\nothers to help in training for license exams. He was indeed an\r\ninspiration and a true \"Elmer\". Ed became a Silent Key in 1952 after a\r\nbrief illness. It was fitting that MARC members sought to memorialize\r\nhis call. A petition to the FCC resulted in the new MARC call sign -\r\nW1NRG.\r\n\r\nThe club station at Dossin Beach continued to flourish with the\r\naddition of several antennas, commercial and home brew equipment. The\r\nclub facilities included two complete individual stations for Novice\r\nand upper class operators alike. Weekly on-the-air code practice was\r\nheld in addition to regular club meetings and activities.\r\n\r\nThe Meriden Amateur Radio Club (W1NRG) continues the tradition today.\r\nAs an ARRL Special Service Club, MARC is active in training, field day,\r\nJOTA, contesting, packet, exhibits, station/member activities both on\r\nand off the air, and a camaraderie unique to Amateur Radio.\r\n\r\nMARC is proud of its fully equipped HF station.

"Bio": "Hi there. My name is Don and I have been involved in Amateur Radio\r\nsince 1990. My home page is at ( http://www.frontiernet.net/~k2dv/ ),\r\nand you can see alot of information there. I am a member of the\r\nBrockport Amateur Radio Klub (BARK) and am currently the president. We\r\nare a small club whose main purpose is to have fun with ham radio. I\r\nwould like to thank my elmer Louie, K2QOB for taking the time to get me\r\ninto a great hobby! Almost without exception all of the people I have\r\nmet have been great, and I've made some good friends. It's difficult\r\nto be in a hobby that the main purpose of is to talk with people you've\r\nnever met, and not meet alot of nice people!\r\n\r\nI have two teenage boys, and God help me, the older one just got his\r\nlicense the other day. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Where I\r\ncurrently live is Brockport, NY. It is along the famous Erie Canal, of\r\nsong and history fame. The State University of New York also has a\r\ncampus here. The Village of Brockport isn't all that large, so the\r\nUniveristy's presence is really felt. No where else that I lived had\r\nall night coffee shops next to the record store, with a chinese\r\nrestaurant and pizzeria just a few steps away. All in all it's\r\ninteresting though.\r\n\r\nAnother one of my pastimes is involvement with the Bergen Rod and Gun\r\nClub. Bergen is a town about 8 miles south of Brockport, and I used to\r\nlive there for a while too. I enjoy various shooting disciplines, and\r\nenjoy the freindships there as much as the ones I've made with ham\r\nradio. In fact I got into both about the same time. Also, the\r\nBrockport Amateur Radio Klub has held our Field Day event at the gun\r\nclub for the last 4 years. Check that out at the Brockport Klub Page.\r\n( http://www.frontiernet.net/~n2tuk/ )\r\n\r\nIf you have any questions or comments, I'd like to hear from you! 73\r\nDon\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: K2DV - Thu Jul 2 21:00:42 1998\r\n"

Having joined RACES in early 1956, and holding\r\nvarious municipal and county positions, I was appointed County RACES\r\nRadio Officer, and served in that capacity along with the ARES-EC title\r\nwhich I received in the early 1970's, until late 1990.\r\n\r\nDuring that period, I built the county's first two meter autopatch\r\nrepeater, and put it on 147.15 to save the county RACES frequency.\r\nLater with county supplied equipment, I put another machine on 145.47\r\nand linked them via microwave, giving the best mobile coverage of New\r\nJersey's largest county, as it remains today.\r\n\r\nCombining the RACES and ARES programs, and having dedicated, non-club\r\nrepeaters, allowed the organization to grow to over 100 active members\r\nperforming up to 25 community service events a year, plus weekly nets,\r\ndrills, and emergencies. I was proud to have so many dedicated\r\nvolunteers, and if YOU were one of them, I THANK-YOU!!\r\n\r\nIn the mid 1980's I became SEC/SNJ for about six years until my\r\npredecessor, W2HOB, became available to resume his duties in January\r\n1990. In September 1990 I resigned all of these affiliations, including\r\nAir Force MARS (AFA1MV), and my job at New Jersey Bell, and moved with\r\nmy wife, Sharyn, to our present location, which is a small area within\r\nthe Williamsburg, VA ZIP code, known as Norge. Thus, I am: GEORGE FROM\r\nNORGE. From Greater Downtown Norge, about 1 sq. mile, I operate a\r\n145.41 SERA member repeater, KF4ADM which you should look- up on this\r\nQRZ.COM database.\r\n\r\nWhile in New Jersey, I introduced what was then The Westlink Radio\r\nNews, to the Delaware Valley by way of the county repeaters. Later it\r\nbecame part of the METROPLEX NEWS NETWORK until that died. This lead to\r\nthe formation of the EASTLINK NETWORK by WA3BXW, WA2KWW, and myself,\r\nwhich produced some strangely interesting information programs and\r\nincluded NEWSLINE, before and after its name change, at the studios of\r\nWNJT. At its peak, EASTLINK was being simulcast on 40 repeaters on six\r\nbands and being heard from Northern Virginia to New England. As a\r\n\"Virginia ham\" I brought NEWSLINE to the area several years ago via\r\n145.41 and air it 4 times each week along with KC9RP's R.A.I.N.\r\nprogram as listed in the Net Directory of the SERA Journal.\r\n\r\nI've always enjoyed serving my fellow hams and the public thru this\r\nhobby. I wish more of us would get trained and participate in\r\nARES/RACES and SKYWARN, such as I am here now in Virginia. See (\r\nhttp://www.aresva.org ) for an idea of what's happening here.

I would be very curious as to why you\r\nwould be reading this.\r\n\r\nSince you are obviously here, I'll tell you a little about me. I first\r\nbecame fascinated with radio when I was about 5 years old while\r\nvisiting my grandmother. She had a small table-top Emerson radio that\r\ncould tune just a little bit above the standard AM broadcast band. At\r\nthe time, a number of local police and fire departments were using this\r\narea of spectrum. Just a bit farther up the dial, people talking...just\r\nsimple conversation. Who are these people?\r\n\r\nI went home and asked permission to fire-up the old Hallicrafters to\r\ngive a spin through the dial and see who else I could hear.\r\n\r\nThe rest, is a 30+ year love of radio...commercial, old-time radio\r\nhistory, shortwave and amateur radio.\r\n\r\nI'm married with a baby on the way as of this writing, 06July1998.\r\nThis will be our first. I am a police officer for the 6th largest\r\nmunicipal police agency in the state of New Jersey. I've been doing it\r\nfor 13 years now. Prior to and since becoming a police officer, I had\r\ndone EMS and heavy rescue work for 18 years.\r\n\r\nI'm on VHF and UHF the most lately, 2m, 432Mhz, and 6m mostly, but\r\nspend enough time on HF phone in the 20,40, and 75m bands. I can\r\nfrequently be found on various ham satellites and hopefully by the end\r\nof this summer (98) I will be on EME. I don't contest and avoid\r\nrepeaters as much as possible...I even lower my power to the level\r\nneeded to maintain the desired communication.\r\n\r\nI am starting to become disenchanted by the whole radio thing, though.\r\n\r\nJust figured I'd let y'all know that. I love the concept of radio...\r\nI'm getting tired of being a ham simply because of what has become of\r\nthe hobby in the passed few years.\r\n\r\n73, de KB2FIK\r\n\r\nRev: KB2FIK - Sun Jul 5 23:44:32 1998\r\n"

I am also a\r\nmember of the ARRL, the Fair Lawn ARC, and the Bergen ARA (of which I\r\nam the club Webmaster/SYSADMIN- check out the page at\r\nhttp://www.bara.org).\r\n\r\nOutside of Amateur Radio I enjoy many other hobbies. Some of them\r\ninclude, but are not limited to the following: Computers, engineering,\r\nmodel rocketry, bicycling, track and field, SCUBA diving / power\r\nboating / sailing, community service, Boy Scouts of America, disc\r\njockey / audio / sound systems, camping / hiking, electronic\r\njournalism, and more.\r\n\r\nIf you would like to contact me about any questions, please feel free\r\nto (via E-mail or QSL). You can also check out my website at\r\nhttp://users.bergen.org/~timmur/ and be sure to check out a few of the\r\nother websites that I work on (including http://www.bara.org and\r\nhttp://www.teenvoice.com).\r\n\r\n73,\r\n\r\nTim Murphy\r\n\r\nRev: KB2YGJ - Mon Jun 15 18:57:28 1998\r\n"

"Bio": "I got into ham radio in November of 1996 when my father, W2AOF, was\r\ntelephoned by the local RACES group to help provide communication\r\nsupport for the annual South Plainfield Labor Day parade. Up to that\r\npoint I thought the hobby was the dusty old Heathkit HW-32A in the\r\ncorner of the basement-- it never occured to me that ham radio\r\ntechnology had progressed so far. I knew the minute I saw that little\r\nhandheld that this was a hobby I could really enjoy.\r\n\r\nAfter I got my license, it's not surprising that I took so quickly to\r\nVHF/UHF public service, that being what brought me to it in the first\r\nplace. I all but ignored HF work and CW in favor of tweaking my VHF\r\nstation and ragchewing with the local OMs. It was like that up until\r\nmoved to Baltimore MD to the University of Maryland Baltimore County.\r\nFinally around October of 1997 I joined the W3EAX club and got exposed\r\nto avid CW HF operators like NF3I who encouraged me to get on the air\r\nevery week and try my code.\r\n\r\nIf you're looking up this call chances are you just heard the W3EAX\r\nstation chattering away on 80 meters under my clumsy fingertips, so\r\nthanks for your patience and helping me with my code speed.

My interest for ham radio\r\nstarted about the time i was 13 or 14. One of my mothers cousins, was a\r\nlicensed ham. His cal was, and still is W2LMP. While in high school, a\r\namateur radio club was formed at the school and i became a member. But\r\ni never obtained my license. I fell away from the hobby after\r\ngraduating from high school, and really didn't bother with it for a few\r\nyears.\r\n\r\nIn 1970, i joined the U.S.Navy, through the reserve program. In 1971, i\r\nreported for mandiatory active duty at Norfolk VA. My rating at the\r\ntime was a seaman 1st class. I was sent to the Med. and assigned to the\r\nU.S.S.Springfield CLG-7, homeported in Gaeta Italy. I was just a deck\r\nhand, and soon found a dislike for it. I stuck out for a rating in the\r\ncommunications dept. and was accepted. I quickly gained the rank of\r\nRM-3, and became a transmitter specilist. I had to tune up and patch\r\nthrough many different types of navy x-miters. I acquired a little\r\nknowledge of cw, but never really learned it completely, for it wasn't\r\nreally needed for the job i had been assigned.\r\n\r\nI was discharged from active duty, in 1973 and served in the active\r\nreserves until 1976. Until about 1987, i completely forgot about\r\n\"radio\" in any form except am and fm. At that time i started a new job\r\nand became acquaited with another employee who was a \"ham\". Over the\r\nyears since starting that job, i've been in contact with him off and\r\non. He has always spoke greatly of his hobby and has always urged me to\r\nobtain my \"ticket\".\r\n\r\nWell, i've finally obtained it and owe a great amount of thanks to\r\nKB2OMU. Thanks Buddy.\r\n\r\nWell, enough talking for now. I plan on upgrading soon, although i am\r\nenjoying 2 meter and trying to enjoy packet, now. So, with all said,\r\n73..maybe i'll talk to you on the air sometime in the not to distance\r\nfuture.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: KC2DQC - Fri Jun 19 21:33:01 1998\r\n"

I had a Heathkit DX-60\r\ntransmitter (with lots of crystals) and an HR-10B receiver. At the time\r\nI thought Albany, NY was DX! I've since moved a bit, and ended up in a\r\ntownhouse in Carol Stream, IL (maybe 30 miles west of Chicago) with my\r\ndog Scamp.\r\n\r\nI haven't done very much operating in the past few years since I wasn't\r\nable to get permission for an outdoor antenna. However, my townhome\r\nassociation gave me permission to erect one (I think they just wanted\r\nto shut me up!). Their guidelines were very stringent, but a Cushcraft\r\nR7000 met all the requirements. I also have VHF and UHF antennas in the\r\nattic.\r\n\r\nI've been dividing my operating time between CW and SSB (with some RTTY\r\nand PACTOR thown in), but my CW has deteriorated seriously! So I'll\r\nneed to polish that up quite a bit if I'm ever going to get my Extra\r\nticket. Much of my operating is on the WARC bands (when will we stop\r\ncalling them that?)- they're a haven from the horror of contests.\r\nActually, since the WARC bands are so narrow, I think output power\r\nshould be limited to about 200 watts. Hey, when 18 or 24 meters are\r\nopen you don't really need that much power. When they're not open, no\r\n(legal) amount of power will help!\r\n\r\n\r\nHey, if you hear me on the air give me a call, but only if you've got\r\ntime to spare (I'm a confirmed ragchewer)!\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: N2EFT - Wed Jun 17 6:37:06 1998\r\n"

"Bio": "I have been interested in radio since I was given a pocket AM radio at\r\nthe age of 12. Since I wanted to know more, I went to the library and\r\nstudied the ARRL Amateur Radio Handbook. The taste for radio was\r\nwhetted!\r\n\r\n\r\nAM BCB, SWL and scanner listening were to be my mainstays throughout\r\nhigh school and beyond. I received my ham license in 1991 after the\r\nFCC announced on my birthday in 1990 that the new Codeless Tech license\r\nwould be available in March of 1991. I had totally forgotten about the\r\nstart of the new license class until I just walked in after work in\r\nJune 1991 and aced the two written exams. What helped was reading all\r\nof those ham radio books and magazines for 20 years!\r\n\r\nMy wife Karen (N2ZYF) was licensed in 1994 after I had been teaching\r\nthe Codeless Tech course for two years. She told me that by just\r\nlistening to me talk to others for the previous 14 years of marriage\r\nshe realized that she knew about 50% of what was needed to pass the\r\ntest. She passed it on 5/31/94 with 100%! Now we do alot together on\r\nthe radio and even have two of our four daughters studying to get\r\nlicensed.\r\n\r\nI am the Emergency Coordinator for the ARRL Amateur Radio Emergency\r\nService in Staten Island, New York City. I am also the county radio\r\nofficer for the Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service through the NYC\r\nOffice of Emergency Management. This year I also took on being the\r\nSkywarn coordinator for Staten Island for the National Weather\r\nService.\r\n\r\n\r\nI run a packet/landline BBS for Staten Island. We operate on 145.770\r\nMhz as N2NOV-6 for the node and N2NOV-4 for the bbs. The landline\r\nnumber is (718) 876-7928. This is a JNOS BBS that has many message\r\nareas including some internet mailing lists like SCAN-L.\r\n\r\n\r\nI am the net control of the New York DX Association (NYDXA) SWL &\r\nScanner Net on 147.360 Mhz (PL 107.2) every Wednesday at 8PM. This net\r\nhas been running since March 1992. The Net's homepage is\r\nhttp://www.hili.com/~4runner and follow the link to the NYDXA page.\r\n\r\n\r\nAs a business consultant for people who want to start a business from\r\nhome, I am in contact with many people. This a great way to talk up\r\nham radio. Maybe more will join us in this great service/hobby.\r\nSpread the word.

Then a couple of years later on May 22, 1990 I upgraded to\r\nGeneral. I am currently an Advanced class operator and have been such\r\nsince October 15th, 1991. One of these days I may upgrade to Extra but\r\nI need to get motivated with studying and using morse code. Any\r\nsuggestions are welcomed!\r\n\r\nMy elmer was Karl Koemm WT2T (formerly KC2WU) who has been a silent key\r\nfor many years after a fatal motorcycle accident. I met Karl through\r\nthe Holmdel Amateur Radio Club at Bell Laboratories in Holmdel, NJ. He\r\nhelped me get my novice ticket and I attended a General class he\r\npresented for the Jersey Shore Amateur Radio Society. Karl was an\r\nexcellent mentor and elmer and I strive to follow in his foot steps! If\r\nwe don't want bad operators on our bands we must not forget to elmer\r\nthe new comers of our hobby!\r\n\r\nWhen the FCC announced the opening of gate 3 of the Vanity call sign\r\nprogram I could not resist getting a new call and was issued NJ2DX on\r\nSeptember 17th, 1997.\r\n\r\n\r\nFAVORITE MODES OF OPERATIONS\r\n\r\nMy favorite mode is SSB on 10 meters maybe this is why I enjoy\r\ncollecting all those 10-10 numbers and awards including 10-10\r\naffiliated chapters. However since most of my operating is while mobile\r\nyou'll often find me on 2 meter FM simplex and repeaters as well as\r\nsome 70 cm repeaters. Recently I've become interested in operating SSB\r\non the Russian satellites and I've made a couple of mode K contacts via\r\nRS-12 with my modest station. However my most active HF mode lately has\r\nbeen county hunting. Since most of my operating time is while I'm\r\nmobile I've found the mobile county hunting nets to be alot of fun!\r\n\r\n\r\nAWARDS I'VE OBTAINED\r\n\r\nARRL DXCC pending with 10 meter phone endorsement ARRL WAS # 45742 with\r\n10 meter phone endorsement CQ WPX # 2351 with 400 prefixes plus North\r\nAmerican and 10 meter endorsements Ten American District Award with\r\nTen-Ten phone endorsement Ten-Ten # 52519 (6 bars), VP # 2392 Ten-Ten\r\ncounties # 271 Ten-Ten DX basic # 380, 35 countries # 202, 45 countries\r\n# 178 Ten-Ten Worked All Continents (WAC) certificate # 241\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: NJ2DX - Mon Jun 29 8:27:46 1998\r\n"

For the past thirty years we have been\r\nliving and working abroad. Our life in the Foreign Service started in\r\nWashington D.C. and from there we were posted in Rome, Accra (Ghana),\r\nNew York, Dar es Salaam (Tanzania), Lima (Peru) and Moscow. Since\r\nAugust 1996 I have been appointed as Consul of the Netherlands in\r\nMelbourne, Australia. The present assignment consists mainly of Trade\r\npromotion, Cultural Affairs and general Consular Affairs in the States\r\nof Victoria, Tasmania, South- and West-Australia.\r\n\r\nOne of my hobbies is amateur radio. Living in different countries means\r\nobtaining different license to operate. My valid call signs are\r\ncurrently NM2R, PA3FLH and VK3FGO. Other call signs held in the past\r\nare among others 5H3RB, OA4CEV and UA3A/PA3FLH. The three years posting\r\nin Tanzania (5H3) from 1986 to 1989 was most exciting as far as amateur\r\nradio is concerned. Over 30.000 QSO's resulted in thousands of\r\nQSL-cards and quite a number of amateur radio awards. Although being a\r\n\"rare DX\" was quite fascinating, my XYL considered herself a\r\n\"ham-widow\" during those years.\r\n\r\nAnother hobby is music. I have been playing organ and piano since I was\r\nsix years old. I did play organ in many churches in the Netherlands and\r\nin quite a few churches during our posting in Washington D.C. In Rome I\r\nhad the opportunity to play a few times the beautiful concert organ of\r\nChiesa di Santa Susanna. All sorts of music have my interest, but\r\nclassical music is still my favoured.\r\n\r\nRoel, NM2R 16 June 1998\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: NM2R - Tue Jun 16 22:29:02 1998\r\n"

We had to build all new\r\nantennas. We had to put up towers. I arrived and it was raining. It\r\nhad been raining, and continued to rain for the next 24 hours. Even\r\nso, we did what we could on the ground. Antennas were assembled,\r\nfeedlines stretched out, hardline connectors installed, and everything\r\nbut the towers went together.\r\n\r\nThat night, we went into St. Johns for pizza - yes, pizza ! And it was\r\ngreat ! The rum drinks weren't too bad either.\r\n\r\nThe balance of the crew came the next day and brought more equipment.\r\nAs their plane landed, the sun came out and stayed out. I didn't\r\nrealize how much of a blessing the rain was. The sun in Antigua is\r\nhot!\r\n\r\nWe got everything working and operated the contest. We had a great\r\ntime. I have been back in '96, and '97, and plan to go back again in\r\n'98. Last year, which was 2 years since the big hurricanes hit, the\r\nisland has returned to being very beautiful. The tourists are back and\r\nit's really a very nice spot to relax and enjoy yourself. As we can,\r\nbefore and after the contest, we take some time to enjoy the\r\nsurroundings. It's not only a superb contest location.\r\n\r\nFor more information on me, see the N5NJ page.\r\n\r\n73, Bob Naumann N5NJ / V26RN\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: V26RN - Tue Jun 23 14:36:13 1998\r\n"

I also enjoyed\r\nlistening to distant stations on the AM Broadcast band. I bought my\r\nfirst real 'worldwide' radio when I was about fifteen. It was a Radio\r\nShack DX-100 analog shortwave reciever, and I still use it! I had a CB\r\nway back when the first \"Craze\" was happening in about 1975.I wish I\r\nstill had that one! It was a Channel Master 23 Channel mobile. I\r\nremember being awed by being able to talk 'Skip'. Surprisingly though\r\nI did'nt get my ticket till I was 27 years old, probably becuase no one\r\nclose to me was a Ham so I had no real knowledge of the hobby. I just\r\nfound my own way in through the usual path. I was licensed in February\r\nof 1995 as a Tech No-Code with the call KB2TMA. I soon upgraded to\r\nTech-Plus and was impressed with the possibilities of Ten meters and\r\nthe CW portion of the Low Bands. I practiced hard and passed my general\r\nin October of 1996. After much studying I passed my Adv I enjoy all\r\naspects of the hobby, and I look forward to trying different bands and\r\nmodes as time goes on. The greatness of our hobby is that there is\r\nalways something new to try...always some new mode or band or project.\r\nMy favorite bands are 10 and 6, and I also enjoy 2 meters. I enjoy\r\nmobile and portable work, and especially enjoy combining my other\r\nfavorite passtime, Boating, with Ham Radio. I like to build antennas\r\nand am interested in learning as much about them as I can in the\r\nfuture.

"Callsign": "WA2KBU",
"Bio": "June, 1998\r\n\r\nI was first licensed in 1960 as WV2KBU in Brooklyn NY at the age of 14.\r\nOperating from my small room in a Brooklyn tenement and using a 40M\r\ndipole, I was able to work many states both on 40 and 15 meter CW. The\r\nsame year, after many contacts on CW and bringing my code speed up, I\r\npassed my General Class test. I was now able to use 'phone' and was\r\nelated at the SSB contacts I made throughout the world. After entering\r\nthe work force in mid 1960's I landed a job with NY Telephone Co. as an\r\nInstaller/Repairman in Manhattan. Somewhat later I joined the US Marine\r\nCorps and, upon completion of my tour of duty, I rejoined the telephone\r\ncompany. My sweetheart, Sallie, and I were married in 1967 and moved to\r\nSuffolk County NY in 1968. I was fortunate to continue my education and\r\nattend the local university and at this time I was able to to\r\nreconstruct my ham station. While I was involved attending school, I\r\nwas offered a position from Xerox Corp. as a copier technician. Working\r\nfor Xerox and attending class kept me bu\r\n\r\nThe year 1970 brought two wonderful surprises for Sallie and me. Our\r\nfirst child Elisa was born in January and then our second, Robert, was\r\nborn in November. With two little ones running around there wasn't much\r\ntime for hamming although I was able to finally build some new gear\r\n(Heathhkit twins)and install my first tower with a triband beam and\r\nupgrade my ticket to Advanced. 1975 brought our third child Jeanne and\r\neven less time for hamming as money was tight and overtime was plenty.\r\n\r\nIn 1979 I was promoted to trainer and transferred to the Xerox Training\r\nCenter in Leesburg, VA. We took up residence in nearby Charles Town, WV\r\nand went on with the Godly process of raising our three children. The\r\nyear 1980 saw me and my family dedicate our lives to Jesus Christ, our\r\nLord and Savior. This marked a profound change in our lives and\r\ncontinues to this day. Since God, family and church took center stage\r\nin our lives, the only hamming I was able to do was operate on 2\r\nmeters.\r\n\r\nSince then the children have grown, left the nest and have lives of\r\ntheir own. Sallie and I still dedicate time to our church and our\r\ncommitment to the Lord but now have a bit more time on our hands. We\r\nhave and continue to travel internationally as well as do some green\r\nthumbing and pursue other hobbies. I'm now able to spend a bit more\r\ntime with \"King\" of hobbies and have recently started construction of a\r\nnew HF and VHF station in Summit Point, WV and have upgraded my ticket\r\nto Extra.\r\n\r\nWell that's about it, hope to meet you one day, 'down the log'.\r\n\r\nBob WA2KBU\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: WA2KBU - Wed Jun 17 19:19:48 1998\r\n"

"Bio": "At the age of fourteen, I was first licensed as WN3JGY and have been an\r\nactive amateur radio amateur ever since. After upgrading to WA3JGY, I\r\nheld that call until the first \"vanity\" callsign program of the FCC in\r\n1976 when I upgraded to Extra class and became K3JT. My interests have\r\nalways been CW operating, chasing DX and contesting. Along with that\r\ncomes an interest in homebrew antennas and fixing old radios (a\r\nnecessity for me to stay on the air it seems!).\r\n\r\nMore recently, I have developed a fascination with operating DX on the\r\n160 Meter Band. The thrill of making long distance contacts on\r\nfrequencies below the AM broadcast band continues to fascinate me. I\r\nhave 73 countries confirmed on 160 now and hope to make more progress\r\ntowards 160 DXCC.\r\n\r\nMy station is modest (outdated!). I have an old FT902DM transceiver,\r\nwith an even older FT101B that was my main rig until 1991. At a\r\nhamfest in Augusta, GA a few years ago, I picked up a Dentron\r\nClipperton L amplifier (using four 572B tubes) that I am still in the\r\nprocess of rebuilding and upgrading. I also have a very old Heathkit\r\nHA-10, Warrior Amplifier that uses four 811A tubes. I picked up a\r\nCollins 75A4 receiver with all the mechanical filters that I love. For\r\nVHF, I have a transverter for use with the FT902DM that covers 6\r\nmeters, 2 meters and 432 Mhz bands on CW and SSB. I'm also on 2 meter\r\nFM with a HT and mobile rig.\r\n\r\nThe antenna situation is constantly changing. I am now working on a\r\nQuad that will cover 5 bands from 20 meters to 10 meters (including the\r\n17 and 12 meter WARC bands). There will be 3 elements on 20, 15 and 17\r\nmeters and 4 or maybe even 5 elements on the 12 and 10 meter bands when\r\nit is finished. On 40 meters I have a full wave loop antenna that seems\r\nto work well. For 80 and 160 meters, I have a horizontal vee antenna\r\nwith each leg about 235 feet long, supported about 60 feet high by\r\ntrees. I use homebrew L networks for tuning this wire antenna and it\r\nseems to perform well.\r\n\r\nI have made many friends through amateur radio. Wherever I have lived,\r\namateur radio has always provided an opportunity to meet people with a\r\ncommon interest. I am very grateful to the hobby because of this and\r\ntry to return something to make it better. I participate as a\r\nvolunteer examiner with the Monongalia Wireless Association in\r\nadministering FCC exams. I try to recruit new amateurs whenever the\r\nopportunity presents itself. My son, W8TSW, is tech plus and I enjoy\r\ntalking to him on the air. Please look for me on the air, mostly on\r\nCW, but with some SSB operation, in contests or otherwise. I always\r\nenjoy making contacts and talking with anyone interested in this great\r\nhobby of ours. 73.\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: K3JT - Fri Aug 28 13:49:37 1998\r\n"

"Bio": "First licensed in 1963 as KN3YGU, I spent my novice year on 40m CW\r\nworking on WAS. I developed an interest in DXing and homebrewing early\r\non. During my first years as a general class op, K3YGU accumulated\r\nabout 150 DXCC countries. School and work kept my activity fairly low\r\nfor a while, but I did manage to stay active. I earned my extra class\r\nticket in 1977, choosing to keep my old call. From about 1979-83 I\r\nenjoyed mobile CW DXing, adding a new country from time to time.\r\n\r\nThe move to my present QTH in 1986 made it possible to have some decent\r\nantennas. I put up a 120 ft. tower in 87, probably the best money I\r\never spent on myself. It has been a lot of fun! During the following\r\ndecade, I managed to earn 5BDXCC, 160DXCC, and Honor Roll. I started\r\nDXing on the WARC bands in 94. That has helped keep the hobby\r\ninteresting since I still need a lot of countries on 30, 17, and 12m. I\r\nenjoy participating in the Toplist award, which tracks 9-band HF DX\r\nstatistics.\r\n\r\nBecause K3YGU has been a difficult call for DXing, I got my new call\r\nK3KY under the vanity calls program in 96. It certainly makes life a\r\nlot easier in day-to-day DXing. I work all bands 160-10m, CW and phone,\r\nand will probably be getting on RTTY soon. I am a member of Potomac\r\nValley Radio Club (PVRC,) and get on during the major DX contests to\r\ngive the guys a few points and work a few new band- countries.\r\n\r\nPlease check out my web page devoted to HF DXing! 73, David K3KY\r\nhttp://www.angelfire.com/md/k3ky/index.html\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: K3KY - Thu Aug 27 14:49:34 1998\r\n"

"Bio": "I've been interested in electronics since a young lad. I was drawn to\r\nradio at first through listening to the \"big\" sound of AM radio (New\r\nYork City's WNEW was a favorite). I then began building simple radios\r\nsuch as \"crystal sets\" and various bread boarded (on *real* bread\r\nboards!) electronic circuits.\r\n\r\nThis building led me to my first shortwave encounter--a Knight Kit Star\r\nRoamer. After that construction experience and my father's\r\nencouragement, I began tuning the bands. I snail-mailed reports for\r\nQSL cards and program guides; then the \"ham radio bug\" bit me!\r\n\r\nI obtained my Novice Class license in 1968 and have recently upgraded\r\nto Extra Class. I still enjoy \"tuning the bands\" be it AM broadcast,\r\nshortwaves or \"conventional\" hamming.\r\n\r\nHam radio has presented a number of exciting opportunities for me as\r\nwell. During the mid 1980's I became involved with my local area's\r\nRACES (Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service). At this time I lived in\r\nNew Jersey (hence my \"vanity\" call). I advanced through the ranks to\r\nbecome a \"county\" RACES Radio Officer, during which time I helped\r\ncoordinate the response efforts of ham radio operators during the\r\nimpact of Hurricane Gloria along the shore.\r\n\r\nHam radio has also helped me improve my technical skill in both the\r\noperation and maintenance of radio-electronic equipment. I am very\r\nthankful for these experiences which have led to a successful career\r\nfor me in broadcast radio.\r\n\r\nAt this writing, I am a resident in the state of Maryland. My wife\r\n(XYL) became licensed a couple years ago (after 20 years of marriage I\r\nguess she thought it better to \"give in\") and enjoys collecting Ten-Ten\r\nnumbers (besides talking to me).

I upgraded to General in the fall of 1963, and to Extra when\r\nthere was reason to do so when incentive licensing came along in 1968.\r\nFrom 1963 to 1973 I spent most of my hamming in county hunting,\r\ncontesting, and rag chewing. In 1966 I co-founded the CW County Hunters\r\nNet. The story of the creation of the net is in the county hunting\r\nsection of my web site. I started work at WPIT in Pittsburgh in 1969,\r\nand continued working there until 1993. That cut down on my hamming,\r\nkeeping me off the air entirely for several years. I was able to get\r\nin some hamming from 1981 to 1983. I continued my county hunting, rag\r\nchewing, and contesting. It was then that the 30 meter band became\r\navailable to amateurs. It quickly became one of my favorites and\r\nremains so today. In the early part of 1993, WPIT was sold, and all\r\nthe employees were released. I decided to semi-retire. About that time,\r\nmy friend Eric (who is now KB3BFQ) wanted to know all about ham radio,\r\nand we put my station back together and I got on the air again. I have\r\nbeen very active since then, concentrating on contests, awards, rag\r\nchewing, and DXing. I've now had at least one QRP QSO each day for over\r\n1400 consecutive days. I've had nearly 20,000 QSO's (all CW with 'pure'\r\nQRP) since I returned to the air in 1993, making a total of almost\r\n40,000 QSO's (all but about 5 on CW) since 1963. I belong to the\r\nfollowing amateur radio organizations: A-1 OP, ARS, AK QRP, ARRL, AWA,\r\nFISTS, NJ QRP, NorCal QRP, OTC, QRP ARCI, RCC, 10-10.

Following High\r\nSchool I enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard in 1962 and enjoyed ten years\r\nas a radioman in such places as South Florida, Washington, D.C. and\r\nHonolulu, Hawaii. I suppose I missed working CW so much that I finally\r\ngot my Novice ticket in the fall of 1989. My very first contact was a\r\nDX station and I've been hunting DX ever since. Since up-grading to\r\nGeneral I have added island hunting as one of my major interests.\r\n\r\nMy equipment is rather modest; a Kenwood TS-850/AT barefoot to an\r\nindoor trap-dipole antenna up in my attic. Yes, I am a victim of\r\nantenna restrictions but have managed to do rather well over the years,\r\namassing over 250 DXCC countries, 370 IOTA islands and 500\r\nU.S.islands. I also do quite a bit of island activating here on the\r\nEast Coast for both IOTA and US-I. For my island trips, I take along my\r\nKenwood TS-50S/AT and Hustler antenna system. This arrangement works\r\nvery well as a mobile set-up, allowing me to make island contacts from\r\nas far away as Australia, South Africa and parts of Asia. To date, I\r\nhave activated over 35 islands ranging from Massachusetts to Virginia.\r\n\r\nI am also an avid Sprint Car racing fan, frequenting several Central\r\nPennsylvania dirt tracks during the summer season.

"Bio": "I have been married to John, \"K3NJ\" (formerly WA2GIE) for over 24\r\nyears. During the first few years of marriage I found out what \"ham\r\nradio\" was all about--antennas were strung across the walls of our\r\nfirst \"home\"--a garden apartment. I also awoke many early mornings to\r\nthe familar sound of my husband's voice calling \"CQ, CQ, CQ . . . \"\r\n\r\nWhen asked the question that every married ham asks--\"When are you\r\ngetting your amateur radio license?\"--I would respond that I'd never be\r\nable to learn all that technical stuff, worst of all; those dits and\r\ndahs!\r\n\r\nYears went by and a few hamfests were attended. One day John caught\r\nsight of a deal he could not refuse. He bought two dual-band mobile\r\nradios (VHF/UHF). That question was asked again--when would I \"get\" my\r\nham license?\r\n\r\nThat did it! I thought maybe I ought to learn; especially with the\r\nprospect of my car becoming equipped with a ham radio. Maybe I should\r\nknow how to use it.\r\n\r\nWithin a few days I was reading Gordon West's Novice Study Guide. To\r\nmy own amazement the material was not really that difficult. A lot of\r\nit seemed to be common sense for me. To think that I had waited all\r\nthose years! Learning the Morse Code was certainly not the easiest\r\npart though.\r\n\r\nAfter many weeks of practice using prepared tapes, I was still finding\r\nit difficult. I started listening to W1AW code practice on 80 meters.\r\nJohn had also come across a computer generated code practice called\r\n\"Super Morse\" he was using to improve his code speed for the Extra he\r\nwas working toward. This helped me a great deal too. By the end of\r\nthe week John suggested I take an exam with a local Volunteer Exam\r\ngroup, at least \"for the experience.\" I felt a slim chance at passing\r\nthe code, but was surprised to have actually passed!\r\n\r\nAfter that, there was no stopping me. In a short time I upgraded to\r\nTech-Plus and recently General Class. I'm studying for my Advanced\r\nnow.\r\n\r\nIts my hope that some of the \"ham\" wives will read of my adventure here\r\nand perhaps will also give ham radio a try. I've had so much fun and\r\nenjoyed the radio hobby very much the last few years.\r\n\r\nMy favorite band is still ten meters.

"Bio": "Greetings fellow amateur radio ensthusiasts, my name is Robert \"J.R.\"\r\nSmullen. I have been interested in radio and electronics for ages, but\r\nonly recently became a licensed ham radio operator. When I was only 13\r\nyears old, I developed a keen interest in radio and was heavily into\r\nunlicensed CB (less than 100 mw) and SWL. I built an old Hallicrafters\r\ncoil receiver with some help from an equally interested uncle. I\r\nupgraded sometime later to a beautiful used National receiver. I don't\r\nremember the model number, but I remember it being absolutely massive\r\nin both size and weight. I would climb up into our unheated/uncooled\r\nattic and listen to far away lands for hours and hours on end.\r\nWouldn't I love to have that National today.\r\n\r\nThose early days no doubt formed the basis for rest of my life. After\r\nhigh school I went to work for the Navy as a civilian in an electrical\r\nengineering work-study program in 1967. Five years later I graduated\r\nfrom the University of Maryland with a BSEE. A few years later I went\r\nback and earned an MSEE, specializing in computers and simulation\r\ntechnology.\r\n\r\nToday I lead a team of wonderful engineers and scientists at one of the\r\nNavy's premier simulation facilities. We build and operate\r\nstate-of-the-art aircraft simulators to support the research,\r\ndevelopment, test and evaluation of Navy aircraft and weapons systems.\r\nAs some of my friends like to say, its amazing that they actually pay\r\nus to do this stuff. Five hundred million dollars worth of the neatest\r\nadult toys in the world today.\r\n\r\nSix or so years away from retirement, life is coming full circle. My\r\nnew-found ham licence and radio toys once again keep me up at all\r\nhours, only this time \"talking\" to far away lands. I couldn't have\r\ncreated a better hobby, if I had tried.\r\n\r\nI musn't forget to say some good words about my better-half here also.\r\nPeggy and I have been married for over 13 years now. She is a very\r\ntolerant soul and gives me much more lattitude with my toys than I\r\ndeserve. Not many women would stand for some of the antennas I have\r\nover the roof of our home. But I do know a good thing when I see one\r\nand try very hard to not over do it :))\r\n\r\nWell it's time to go. If you feel the need, give me a yell on e-mail.\r\nI check it regularly. If you hear me on the bands... don't hesitate to\r\ndrop in. I've got a lot of years of missed radio opportunities to make\r\nup for here. Give me a hand...\r\n\r\nCheers & 73s J.R.

"Bio": "Hello, everyone. My name is Scott. I was born in 1979, and currently\r\nlive in Overlea, Maryland. How I got into ham radio is an interesting\r\nstory. I remember watching a Mr. Wizard show when I was about 11 or\r\nso. One of the 30 second information spots was about ham radio. It\r\nwas about a kid who was maybe 13 who held an extra class license. He\r\nwent into what amateur radio is all about, the different license\r\nclasses, and how much fun it really is. After I saw that spot, I\r\nforgot about it. That is, until my neighbor right across the street,\r\nFrank (KB3AHE) got his ticket in '92. He had a 220 HT and I spent a\r\nfew nights sitting on his front porch listening to a few hams\r\nrag-chewing on a local repeater. I was amazed. Then I started going\r\nto middle school, and I was immediately more concerned with making it\r\nhome in one piece and turning in some semblance of homework for the\r\nnext day. I forgot about Frank and amateur radio until the summer of\r\n1997.\r\n\r\nI graduated high school in May of 1997. I decided in November of that\r\nyear that I really wanted to get into amateur radio. I was working for\r\nRadioShack at the time, and my store manager knew another manager who\r\nhad a ham ticket. That's Jerry, N3VBJ. So I went over to Jerry's\r\nstore one day, and he helped me to set up my testing date and time. I\r\npassed the tests on one brisk January 17th. I wasn't exactly thrilled\r\nwith the scores... 91 percent on the novice portion, and 90 percent on\r\nthe technican. I was really aiming for 100 percent on both, but I'll\r\ntake what I can get *grin*. At any rate, since then I have been\r\ntalking to Frank, my knowledge of radios, technology, and electronics\r\nhas grown almost exponentially since January.\r\n\r\nTo all of the members of the First Amendment Radio Transmitting\r\nSociety, I thank you.\r\n\r\n73, and God Bless.\r\n\r\nScott Roberts\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: KB3CBC - Tue Jul 7 19:38:22 1998\r\n"

"Bio": "Pat Freeman first explored the world of Amateur Radio at 14 years old.\r\nWorking CW on 40 and 80 meters, he enjoyed taking his time, tapping out\r\nevery character. He enjoyed working DX on 10 meter USB, when cycle 22\r\nwas still alive and well. But, this was only the beginning.\r\n\r\nPat traded that Novice class license in, and worked his way up to Extra\r\nClass in 2 years. With Extra privileges under his belt, he enjoyed\r\npounding out the CW with the best of them in the Extra sub bands. He\r\ntraded his old Heathkit SB-102 in for a Kenwood TS-140, which nicely\r\nfit between the seats of his little Chevette, his first car. With a\r\n3-magnet-mount base attached to the top of the car, he could put any\r\nsize whip he wanted on that car and work the world. Sending CW and\r\nshifting was more challenging than he thought!\r\n\r\nBut, Pat didn't know that CW would get him far. When he enlisted in\r\nthe US Army, straight out of high school, he came across a test proctor\r\nwho overheard Pat say that he knew Morse Code. Pat was quickly scooped\r\nup and sent for Morse 'training' at Ft. Devens, Mass. The rest of his\r\ntour was spent at Ft. Meade, MD, keeping an keen ear on the non-ham\r\nbands. But, Army barracks didn't allow antennas, so Pat sold all his\r\nequipment and became inactive. But, while listening to the code, he\r\nincreased his copy to 36 words per minute - copying by keyboard, of\r\ncourse.\r\n\r\n5 years later, Pat decides to come back around. Buying a Kenwood\r\nTS-520 at a hamfest, he quickly strung a long wire antenna from his\r\nliving room to his bedroom. Working CW on 40 was not like it was back\r\nin the late 80's - it's a lot more fun!\r\n\r\nPat hopes to hear your CQ soon!\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: N3GWZ - Wed Jul 29 20:15:37 1998\r\n"

"Bio": "My primary reason for becoming an amateur radio operator was to be able\r\nto have a way to communicate from a bicycle. Within two days of\r\nbecoming licensed that became my secondary reason, when I became aware\r\nof the many opportunities to be of service at events such as the\r\nPittsburgh Marathon (I am bicycle mobile as wheelchair racer sweep),\r\nthe Thrift Drug Classic (a defunct professional bicycle race), and\r\nother events.\r\n\r\nThe next major event in my life will be a world bicycle tour. You can\r\nread about it at the website my son made for me linked to his website\r\nwith this URL: http://www.porterfield.net/habitat which will have to\r\nbe changed in January 1999 because fees for the trip are due then. The\r\nlocal Habitat for Humanity chapter has agreed to set aside for my trip\r\nfee a reasonable administrative expense for the money I collect for\r\nthem. You can help!\r\n\r\nI'm a slow but steady cyclist. In the 1998 MS 150 ride I finished in\r\nthe last dozen or so riders, partly because I had stopped so many times\r\nto radio for a sag to pick up tired riders and some with mechanical\r\nproblems. Even though I was the oldest rider, I pedaled up every hill,\r\npassing lots of riders who were walking. Usually on a long ride I'm\r\namong the last cyclists. That's OK with me, because my goal is to\r\nfinish the ride.\r\n\r\nI'm not going to bore anybody with my life story or my educational\r\nbackground. Suffice it to say that I've had a lot of jobs, have no\r\nretirement funds from any of them except my Social Security equity, and\r\nstill work part time as a school bus driver. Life has been good to me\r\nmost of the time, and I hope to stay healthy enough to be riding a\r\nbicycle for the next 20 years.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: N3VHJ - Tue Jul 21 14:49:56 1998\r\n"

I have 1500Ah of battery capacity\r\nwhich is charged by two 80W solar panels. I have an inverter for the\r\nrotors and all else is 12VDC powered. That limits my TS-850S to 100W\r\noutput which I find more than adequate to drive my KT-34XA at 20M\r\nheight for HF work. I have a TS-690S for a second HF rig and on 6M that\r\ndrives a homebrew 6 el 6M beam above the KT-34XA. For VHF/UHF work, I\r\nhave an IC-820H into a pair of KLM 2m-14C and a M2 436CP30, both driven\r\nby 150W bricks respectively.\r\n\r\nI work for a major marine research facility and have far too much fun\r\nat work. Check it out at ( http://www.mbari.org )\r\n\r\nThanks for reading this. I hope to work you on the air.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: W3AB - Sun Jun 21 21:52:33 1998\r\n"

It is obvious that I have been\r\naround radio all of my life. When I was five, my father and I would go\r\nto the local radio station (WVSC) to do repair work as my father also\r\nhas his First Class Radiotelephone licence. Because of my small\r\nphysical size at age 5 my Dad and the other engineer would get me to\r\nchange the bypass caps. in the 5 KW. FM transmitter. My arms and\r\nfingers would fit where their's wouldn't, and so I was then learning\r\nabout radio. I have been doing technical work for them and at the other\r\nlocal stations ever since.\r\n\r\nI was first licensed in 1984 a novice with the callsign KA3MZF. I\r\nup-graded twice to my current advanced class. My real interest in ham\r\nradio came with repeaters. I now have many, along with a website to\r\nhelp others with technical repeater questions. You can visit my site\r\nat http://www.kuggie.com/ Along with the elmering of my father Ken, I\r\nalso went to the local Vocational-Technical School, for electronics, of\r\ncourse.

"Bio": "I was born in Pennsylvania in 1916 and graduated from high school in\r\n1933 at the depth of the great depression. During those years we lived\r\non a farm in western PA, so we had adequate food, but very little\r\ncash. I used the proceeds of a trap line (muskrats, possums, skunks,\r\netc.) to buy parts to build my first regenerative receiver along about\r\n1934. I was first licensed in 1937 with the callsign W8RBC. I operated\r\n40 meter CW exclusively until leaving for the Navy just before we got\r\ninto WW II.\r\n\r\nI was called to active duty in the US Naval Reserve in April 1941. I\r\nspent several years at Naval Transmitting Stations, then, after a tour\r\nthrough the Navy Electronic School, stayed on as an instructor at the\r\nschool at the Naval Research Labs. My final assignment was the USS\r\nPocono, a Communications Vessel. I was discharged in September 1945 as\r\na Chief Electronics Technician.\r\n\r\nAfter the war, I received bachelor's and master's degrees in EE from\r\nCarnegie Tech. My engineering career was spent in three different\r\ncompanies on electronic warfare equipment development. I was part of a\r\nteam developing Infrared Reconaissance Equipment, and one of our\r\n\"firsts\" was a strip map of Manhattan taken in the 2 to 5 micron band.\r\nThat map appeared on the cover of The Proceedings of the Institute of\r\nRadio and Electronics Engineers. I retired in 1981 and have been\r\n\"hamming it up\" since then. My favorite activity is a sked with some\r\nof my Navy acquaintances from WW II. Some of us are still alive, HI.\r\n\r\nI am a member of RACES, ARES, ARRL, and QCWA. Several times each year\r\nI serve as net control of the Central PA RACES Net for our weekly\r\ndrill.\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: W3ZX - Sun Jul 26 6:33:19 1998\r\n"

Fast forward to 1991\r\nwhen I received my novice call, KD4FOI, on my 40th birthday. I had\r\nalready passed the technician license by the time the license came. I\r\nplanned to use my VHF privileges and try HF at a later day. But N3PB\r\npushed me to get on HF sooner rather than later because we were\r\napproaching the end of the sunspot cycle and poorer conditions. So, at\r\nthe beginning of 1992, I purchased a used Ten-Tec Omni C. With the new\r\nrig and long wire antenna, I became active on the HF bands. I found\r\nthat although my early interest in the hobby was designing and building\r\nradios, I really like operating and chasing DX. My code speed improved\r\non the air and I upgraded to General and then Extra, becoming AC4XO in\r\nthe Fall of 1992.\r\n\r\nI'm a systems analyst for Virginia Tech, I'm married to KD4LQO, and I\r\nlive in the country on a small farm.\r\n\r\nMy current ham-related interests are extending my DXCC totals, building\r\nQRP rigs, and occasionally ragchewing on phone or CW.

They are Myra Scott, Becky\r\nEddy and Steven Finch. I married a second time in 1981 to Gail Price.\r\nNow Gail Price Finch.\r\n\r\nI was in the army, then the national guard from 1957 till 1963. I\r\ntrained in anti aircraft artillery and M-48 Patton tanks. I was a tank\r\ncommander when I left the guards.\r\n\r\nI worked in a service station during my junior and senior years in high\r\nschool then hired in with Union Carbide Oct. 1, 1952. I was first a\r\ncascade operator then worked with large mainframe computer systems till\r\nI retired in 1993.\r\n\r\nI have played piano and keyboard instruments since I was about 14 years\r\nold.

I'm rusty but still play a\r\nlittle every few days.\r\n\r\nMy first radio amateur license was issued in the spring of 1959. A\r\nfriend (K4SXJ) administered the Novice exam and my call was KN4ESW. Six\r\nmonths later I took the FCC exam for the General class license in\r\nAtlanta and my call became K4ESW. I was very active on the bands until\r\nthe mid 1960's but then other priorities caused me to gradually become\r\ntotally inactive. In the old days you had to have a few hours, I don't\r\nremember how many, of operating time logged in the quarter prior to\r\nrenewing the license. I would borrow a rig long enough to log the time\r\nso I could keep my call. I retired after working for the same company\r\n41 years when I was 59 years old and didn't have enough to do so I got\r\nback on the air. This was largely due to a friend of mine, Charlie\r\nGlass (WA4AED), who loaned me a Collins KWM2 long enough to renew my\r\ninterest and get my code speed up a little. I purchased a used Kenwood\r\nTS440 so I'm back on the air. I am presently on 80,40,20,15 and 10\r\nmeters.

"Bio": "First licensed in August 1952 as WN8LEN (novice), then upgraded to\r\nGeneral one year later and dropped the \"N\" from the call becoming\r\nW8LEN. I moved back and forth between Grand Rapids, Michigan and\r\nWoodstock, Illinois 2 times over the next 3 years, changing my call to\r\nW9GEX, then back to W8LEN, and finally back to W9GEX again. I upgraded\r\nto Advanced in 1968 (no call change) and in 1972 after moving to\r\nFlorida, I received the call K4IWL which I still hold today. I have\r\nnot advanced to EXTRA by choice or procrastination even though I love\r\nCW and still operate whenever I can. I am now getting back to \"the\r\nbasics\" by planning a lot of CW activity very soon. I have\r\n\"rediscovered\" QRP and have just finished building Wilderness Radio's\r\nSierra QRP CW xceiver and plan several QRP-xpeditions each year for the\r\nforesseable future.\r\n\r\nI do operate 2M & 70cm from the mobile and have been on packet since\r\n1985 although for the past 4 years, I haven't been very active on the\r\ndigital mode.\r\n\r\nMy ham radio nickname is \"LEN\" derived from my first call and given to\r\nme by fellow hams at the Grand Rapids Amateur Radio Association (GRARA)\r\nwho couldn't remember or pronounce my given name. It stuck and when I\r\nwent into the Navy several years later, I had to declare it as a legal\r\nalias for my Top Secret security clearance. By the way, \"LEN\" is much\r\nlike FABIAN, there is no other name associated with it. Sometimes, I\r\nget mail to Len Carlson but in reality, it's simply \"LEN.\" \"And there\r\nshall only be one.\"\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: K4IWL - Thu Jul 16 21:51:40 1998\r\n"

My family never travelled so I spent most summer\r\nvacations getting into the usual mischief common during the '60s. I\r\ngot interested in rock music, enjoyed Boy Scouting, the brotherhood of\r\nthe Order of DeMolay and serving as a Greek Orthodox Altar boy.\r\n\r\nAt an early age, I got interested in anything mechanical or electrical.\r\nAfter graduating high school I attended the College of Engineering at\r\nNortheastern University, Boston. The cooperative education plan\r\nallowed me to gain experience while studying. I took some time off\r\nabout a third of the way through to get work experience and have the\r\nusual fun of a single guy in his 20s including drinking and alpine\r\nskiing in New England.\r\n\r\nNot long after my 21st birthday, I was raised to the sublime degree of\r\nMaster Mason and started working my way up the chairs. At 28 years\r\nold, I became the youngest Worshipful Master of my Masonic Lodge, Mount\r\nHoreb. While still young, I completed all the degrees of the York Rite\r\nand joined Aleppo Temple, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. I was\r\n\"priviledged\" to be a \"working\" candidate.\r\n\r\nWhile still living at home, I was first licensed in November 1978 as a\r\ncoded Technician with the call KA1BMJ and upgraded to Extra in May 1980\r\nand got the shorter AJ1R. I enjoyed CW ragchews, NTS traffic handling\r\nand VHF repeaters.\r\n\r\nIn June 1980, I decided to quit playing around and finish my\r\neducation. Two years later, I received the Bachelor of Science degree\r\nand started my engineering career at Raytheon working on shipboard\r\nradar. One year later I moved to St. Petersburg, Florida and began\r\nworking at E-Systems on military communications systems. I've been\r\nhere ever since.\r\n\r\nI am currently a registered Boy Scout Leader and have served as\r\nAssistant Scoutmaster and Scoutmaster where my duties got me selected\r\nas a member of Timuquan Lodge, Order of the Arrow and elevated to the\r\nVigil Honor.

The\r\nDismal Peak site formally became the property of the DPRS on March 7,\r\n1988.\r\n\r\nThe first official meeting of the society in Giles County was held on\r\nMarch 8, 1992, and at a meeting on May 10, the club voted to change the\r\nname to GILES AMATEUR RADIO ASSOCIATION, INC. This new name became\r\nofficial when approved by the State Corporation Commission on July 17,\r\n1992.\r\n\r\nThe club's 60 members serve Giles County and the surrounding area with\r\nemergency communications services. The club has a formal agreement\r\nwith the County Board of Supervisors for certain financial\r\nconsiderations and other support. This agreement benefits both the\r\nclub and the county in facilitating emergency communications for the\r\nCounty.\r\n\r\nThe club sponsors its own repeater facility on Dismal Peak, in the\r\nJefferson National Forest. The site houses repeaters on 53.47 (ctcss\r\n146.2), 147.135 (ctcss 100.0), 224.86 (carrier access), and 444.975\r\n(ctcss 103.5). The club site also houses nodes on 145.01 (DPK), 144.93\r\n(DPK93), 144.93 (BNQBBS), D.A.R.E.N. Node 145.69 (GILEVA), and\r\nD.A.R.E.N. BBS 145.69 (PRBGVA). Additionally, the site houses a\r\nhigh-speed packet forwarding node on the 440 MHz band.\r\n\r\nThe club is affiliated with the American Radio Relay League.\r\n\r\nPlease visit the club's web site for additional information at\r\nhttp://www.qsl.net/gara/.\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: KF4SCQ - Sun Jul 26 12:39:06 1998\r\n"

My first\r\nexperiences with the world of radio communications was at age 13 when I\r\ntraded my stereo system for a 23 channel Johnson mobile/base CB and a\r\nD104 MIC from my neighbor in Charlotte, NC. I was so excited, I cut\r\nmany a yard that summer to put a Big Stick whip antenna in the top of a\r\n60 foot tree with 100ft of coax out my bedroom window. I remember my\r\nparents got on me a few time for being up at 3am on the weekends\r\ntalking on the radio. Around the age of 18 I had pretty much dropped\r\nthe CB world as other things were now occupying my mind. I joined the\r\nU.S. Navy at 18 and by the time I was 21 I had already seen Italy,\r\nSpain, England, Greece, Africa, Isreal, Egypt, Scotland and the Virgin\r\nIslands - what a life for a young person!

We were very fortunate that our members have\r\na lot of expertise in many areas of ham radio and a lot of good common\r\nsense.\r\n\r\nOne of the reasons we wanted to form a club was that there is so much\r\ntalent and diversity in our members, we wanted to find a way to share\r\nour knowledge and experiences with new ham radio operators. In our\r\nclubhouse, we have a \"vintage\" AM station that will \"WOW !!!\" the\r\nbest of them as it sits near the more current HF rigs that are located\r\nnext to a computerized satellite station and packet. We hope to\r\nencourage new ham radio operators and give them an oppurtunity to work\r\nfrom \"older\" to \"newer\". We also want to help each of our current\r\nmembers to get even more knowledge in learning on other types of\r\nequipment through special training programs.\r\n\r\nWe also want to help out in our surrounding communities in public\r\nservice.

Other special events are in the planning stages.\r\n\r\nOne of our goals is to assist new and old ham radio operators with a\r\nplace they can come to talk, learn and experience Ham Radio. There will\r\nalways be a ham person around that can answer their questions or they\r\nwill know who to ask.

In 1994 our school club was able\r\nto have a SAREX contact with STS 65. Additionally, I do net control\r\nduty for our club. Numerous contacts, including a satellite QSO brought\r\neven more excitement. You never know what is going to happen when you\r\npress the PTT key! Field Day always brings much pleasure to me. For\r\nthe past several years, I have coordinated, or help coordinate, the\r\nKeowee-Toxaway Club effort, but a burning desire lead me off to a one\r\nman expedition for the 1997 event! Things were going great from my\r\nchosen site, on the Blue Ridge Parkway near Mt. Pisgah, NC, until an\r\nAppalachain grizzley decided to search for a late night snack! That\r\nbear, combined with a pouring rain, was just the prescription for\r\ncoming home. Still, now that I reflect on it, it was one of the more\r\nexciting events of my life.

"Bio": "\r\nKV4FZ has been an active amateur radio operator since 1954 when first\r\nlicensed in the Midwest as W0VXO. While working his way through\r\ncollege (1960-64), he spent summers teaching at several camps for the\r\nphysically handicapped. He was highly successful in teaching seriously\r\ndisabled campers about the potential of amateur radio. Many of these\r\ncampers went on to fully qualify for their amateur radio licenses.\r\n\r\nHis father, W.B. Schoenbohm, was the founder of Courage Center in\r\nMinneapolis. Herb was a major force in pushing for the initiation of\r\nthe Handi-Ham program, which is now widely recognized as the premier\r\nservice organization for disabled radio amateurs. After college, Herb\r\nworked as a international sales representative for Gates Radio, Harris\r\nCorp, and Collins Radio. He sold and distributed broadcast equipment\r\nto the international market, primarily Latin America.\r\n\r\nIn 1968, he moved to the U.S. Virgin Islands with the intent of better\r\nserving his customers. His wife Monika was, at that time. a service\r\nrepresentative for Pan American Airways. KV4FZ was very active in DX\r\nwork and, as a frequent traveler, put many new countries on 160\r\nmeters. He was instrumental in getting Stew Perry, W1BB, the necessary\r\ncountries to be the first ham ever to get DXCC on 160 meters. He also\r\ngave G3IOR the last country he need (VP2EFZ, Anguilla) for the first\r\never DXCC via satellite (Oscar 7) During the 1970's, KV4FZ was able to\r\nset CQ World Wide records 160 -10 in almost ever category except 40\r\nmeters. He was also very active in supporting the IARU Intruder tch\r\nafter encountering frequent yachts in the area that had acquired\r\nlicenses of convenience for a fee. At that time, FCC Commissioner\r\nMargita White appointed KV4FZ as the Virgin Islands SECC. The SECC has\r\nresponsibility to plan and manage the operation of radio communications\r\nresources during island emergencies. Herb fulfilled that role\r\nmagnificently and was named a Virgin Island \"Hero\" after rricane Hugo\r\ndestroyed most of St. Croix in 1989. Herb received this award for\r\nkeeping vital communications circuits open.Herb also took a detailed\r\ninterest how most of these \"pirates\" has a close association with the\r\nso- called \"service nets\" on the top end of 20 meters.\r\n\r\nIn 1990 he received the Governor's Medal and was declared a \"Hero of\r\nHurricane Hugo\" for maintaining communications circuits open after the\r\n\"killer\" storm destroyed all working communications circuits.\r\n\r\nIn 1994 Herb worked for several years as a staff aid for Congressman\r\nVictor Frazer (Ind-VI) in the U.S. House of Representatives. He has\r\nbeen chosen to represent the Virgin Islands at every Republican\r\nNational Convention since 1980 and presently is an elected member of\r\nthe Republican State Committee. During the day Herb works as a special\r\nassistant to the Commissioner of Property and Procurement and at night\r\nis host of the popular radio talk show Freedom Forum. Herb maintains a\r\nWeb Page at http://www.islands.vi and you can E mail him at\r\nherbs@islands.vi\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: KV4FZ - Sun Aug 2 14:25:28 1998\r\n"

It is maintained by GRA (\r\nGraham Repeater Association) and the callsign is K4GWH (David\r\nThompson). This repeater was coordinated in 1972 and is the second\r\noldest repeater pair coordinated in NC. 444.225 is located in\r\n145.290's old location! This 440 machine is linked to 4 other 440\r\nrepeaters that are linked full time! You can talk from Greensboro to\r\nRaleigh with a handheld! This repeater is also maintained by GRA and\r\nK4GWH is the callsign. 145.250 is located at Level Cross NC on the\r\nWFMY TV2 2000' tower on the 1400' platform. This machine is used for\r\nSkywarn and ARES functions. We ( I ) maintain the tower sight in\r\nexchange for access to the platform.

By the time I built my Heathkit DX-40 and put it and my\r\nHammarlund HQ-110 on the air, I had upgraded to the Conditional class\r\nand held K4RML. I got a Heath VF-1 VFO and could not seem to get out\r\nvery well on 75 meter AM. Once broke into a QSO and a nice fellow\r\nsaid, \"I hear a K4 -- I'm sure he doesn't realize he is in the Canadian\r\nPhone Band.\" Don't remember if I hid under the bed or hid the VFO\r\nunder the bed, but I was shaking. I built the Heath Apache TX-1 and\r\nMohawk RX-1 and had them configured for QSK with a Dow-Key Electronic\r\nT-R switch. I did not care for AM and used only CW.\r\n\r\nIn 1965 it cost some $5 to renew a license, I think. I knew I had a\r\ngrace period of one year and didn't worry about it, but that grace\r\nperiod expired. In 1966, I enlisted in the US Army Security Agency and\r\nspent a year in Monterey Calif studying Arabic and then went to Ft\r\nDevens Mass to study Radio Traffic Analysis. I got orders to go to\r\nEthiopia, so went to the FCC Office at the Customs House in Boston and\r\ngot my Extra ticket with the callsign W4SYX.\r\n\r\nIn Asmara Ethiopia (now Eritrea, but subject to change any day) we had\r\na club with the call ET3USA. We were also blessed with some of the\r\nfinest operators I've ever known. We worked every major contest during\r\nthe 1968-70 period and our QSL manager VE3IG sent out many thousands of\r\ncards.\r\n\r\nAfter Africa, I settled in Knoxville and worked as a mobile\r\nradio/telephone/paging technician, then outside salesman while going to\r\nschool at UT. After that I went to Law School at UT and worked second\r\nshift as a computer operator at a large banking center. When the N4\r\ncalls became available, I jumped at the chance to switch from W4SYX to\r\nN4NT (in about 1977).\r\n\r\nI worked as an Assistant District Attorney for several years after 1979\r\nand then in the private practice of law. I retired in 1994. I have\r\nbecome quite a fan of Ten-Tec equipment because of its simplicity and\r\nFB QSK.\r\n\r\nNormally I work the low end of 80 and 40 meters and just 'ragchew.' I\r\ntook up the sideswiper key in 1988 and now switch between a beautiful\r\none made for me by John, W9OK, a Vibroplex Blue Racer, and an original\r\nW8FYO key with a Hallicrafters HA-4 T.O. keyer.

Since then, my interests changed to the\r\n80&40 meters bands where I recently became \"HOOKED\" on CW. I am not too\r\nfast, but love the code. I only started into code for upgrade to\r\nGeneral. But since upgrading in 1996, I still remain on the Novice\r\nportions of the 40&80 CW band. I hope to someday upgrade to Advanced\r\nclass. Until then, I am happy with my current privleges.\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: N4THC - Wed Aug 19 17:18:42 1998\r\n"

My mother is Sybil O'Kain and My Father is\r\nJim O'Kain (KC4ET) I was the youngest child of 3. My brother is Joe\r\n(N4SGU) & my sister is Roni (N4WAD), both of which are somewhat still\r\nactive on 2 meters...\r\n\r\nI first became interested in the wonderful world of ham radio at a very\r\nyoung age, I would go over to my uncle Bills (K4LTA) in Oak Ridge and\r\nbecome fascinated watching him talk or make cw contacts all over the\r\nworld. When I was about 8 my father became very interested in the\r\nhobby as well and got his ticket shortly thereafter. Seeing him get\r\nhis licence gave me even more desire to get mine. So with a little\r\nbegging and a lot of studying by me and patience on my fathers part, I\r\ngot my novice when I was 10, couple years later got my general, and\r\nabout 1996 went on to get my advanced and extra class. As a youngster I\r\nspent countless hours on the low bands and one year I recall my Dad, a\r\nbuddy of his and I competed in and won the Tennessee QSO party, I also\r\nput in several years at the Oak Ridge field day. I am now mostly only\r\nactive on 2 meters but that may change as the sun spot cycle improves.\r\n\r\nWhat I have noticed for whatever the reason in my 23 years of hamming\r\nis that by and large the world of ham radio has a lot of wonderful\r\npeople in it. As I stated earlier my intrigue of the hobby started at a\r\nyoung age watching my uncle Bill. It seems that a very large part of\r\nthe O'Kain clan are now hams including my son Darrell KF4TRM. who got\r\nhis tech plus when he was barely 11. my other interests include NASCAR\r\nracing, computing, UT sports, fishing and golfing. you can occasionally\r\nfind me on Vox Phone trying to talk to other hams...73, NE4P\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: NE4P - Mon Jun 22 11:47:46 1998\r\n"

During the end of June and over the\r\n4th of July weekend 1988, amateurs worldwide could communicate with the\r\nfirst operation by an American Amateur from the Congo (no language\r\nproblems, no insurance contacts permitted!). More than 13k QSOs in 4\r\ndays by a single operator on SSB/CW fulfilled the needs of DX'ers\r\naround the world. TN4NW marked the first time computerized logging\r\neliminate the repeated \"insurance QSOs\" many hams insisted upon when\r\nworking a rare one. Tom insisted that only one QSO per band per mode\r\nQSOs. Repeaters were met with the comment, \"You are already in the log\r\n- QRZ de TN4NW!\"\r\n\r\nAlthough Tom's personality on the air rankled some, his discipline\r\npermitted QSO rates of 200 per hour with confirmation of each station's\r\ncall sign back to them before working another. N4NW's use of computer\r\nlogging and strict control of the pile-up resulted in efficient DX\r\noperation with a minumum of wasted bandwidth and time. No lists, no\r\ninsurance QSOs and no nonsense marked this and other Africa DX\r\noperations throughout the 80's by Tom, N4NW .\r\n\r\nSince the operation of TN4NW, many have been frustrated by their\r\ninability to convince Congolese governmental officials to sanction\r\namateur radio from this central African county. Tom said of licensing\r\nin the Congo, \"The license fees paid in Brazzaville would purchase an\r\nAlpha!\"\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: TN4NW - Sun Jul 26 6:29:12 1998\r\n"

While in the service, his tour of duty was most interesting\r\nand a lot of Hams have asked: \"Just what did Chuck do?\" Chuck started\r\ncoming down to Florida and the Palm Beaches back in the sixties with\r\nthe White House Army Signal Agency during President Kennedy's\r\nAdministration.

"Bio": "My steps to and through Amateur Radio. My Dad bought a Zenith \"Chair\r\nSide\" model short wave radio at the beginning of WWII. Dad was not in\r\nthe military because he was in defense related work at a local plant.\r\nHe would call home each day from work at noon and have mother put the\r\ntelephone up to the speaker of the Zenith so he could hear the latest\r\nwar news. The radio had broadcast band coverage up through 18.5 MHz.\r\nIt was a six tube superheterodyne with an I.F. of 456 kilocycles (in\r\nthose days!). This radio, it turns out, was manufactured within a\r\nmonth or so of when I was born on 6 May 1938. My father kept this\r\nradio all these years, the cabinet in the living room and the chassis\r\non a shelf in the basement. After his passing in September of 1995, I\r\nbegan the process of rebuilding this radio. The cabinet is a beautiful\r\nwood and has been re-finished to its original luster. My first\r\nrecollection of this radio is about 1942 when I was about four years\r\nold. I can remember a lot of \"war news\" from t\r\n\r\nThis is what spurned my interest in amateur radio. I continued to\r\nlisten to short wave broadcast stations for many years, and still do.\r\nI learned the Morse code in the Explorer scouts and won a set of Emico\r\ncode records in a Boys Life SWL listening contest in the early 50s. I\r\npursued my radio interests in the CAP with an FCC Radiotelephone\r\nlicense.\r\n\r\nAfter leaving high school, I did a four year tour in the U. S. Air\r\nForce. I went to school in Biloxi Mississippi in Aircraft Control &\r\nWarning Radar Operation.

I used to take apart old radios to\r\nsee what made them \"tick\" and almost became a Ham in the late 30s. But\r\nWWII came along and I wound up signing up for the Army in 1945 and\r\nenjoyed a nice \"post-war\" trip to Hawaii for about a year. After\r\nfinally graduating from The University of Alabama in 1950, I got my\r\nFirst Phone Ticket and an Amateur Radio license in 1951. Got my Class\r\nA license in 1952. After the new Extra came in, I decided it wasn't\r\nanything I needed. I worked in several Radio Broadcast stations in the\r\n40s and early 50s, moving to Television in 1954 at WBRC-TV in\r\nBirmingham, Alabama, as an Engineer. I switched to Program\r\nDirector/Production Manager in 1957. From 1964 to 1974 I did the\r\non-air Editorials. After a little over 20 years there at Ch. 6, I\r\ndecided to return to The University of Alabama, having gotten my\r\nMasters degree in 1956. Then followed another 20 year career as an\r\neducator.

"Callsign": "WA4DOX",
"Bio": "I was first licensed in March 1973 as WN4DOX and upgraded to General\r\nClass the following September, with a callsign change to WA4DOX. While\r\nstill a Novice, I got tired of using a hand key and bought a Lafayette\r\nbug to improve my sending (and thus receiving) proficiency. I never\r\nbecame very proficient with the bug, so in August of that year, when\r\nQST published an article, \"The WB4VVF Accu-Keyer\", I eagerly built my\r\nfirst keyer, modifying the bug to be used as a paddle for the keyer.\r\nAs a General Class, I was excited about my new privileges and became a\r\nregular SSB operator on 40 meters, daily checking into EastCARS. I\r\ndiscovered 15 meter DX using a 40 meter dipole and got hooked on DX. I\r\nput up a 2-element beam for 15 meters and started working on my DXCC.\r\nThe following year I upgraded to Advanced and bought a Wilson\r\ntri-bander so I could work the other higher bands, still looking for\r\nDX. In August of 1974, QST published another article \"Memory for the\r\nWB4VVF Accu-Keyer\" and I added that to my original keyer. Later that\r\nyear, I discovered CW traffic nets and my modus operandi changed to 80\r\nmeter CW, almost exclusively. I found an old Navy RBB receiver (dated\r\nDecember 8, 1941) and used that with my HW-101 and a Collins 30L-1\r\nalong with a homebrew QSK box to send and receive CW traffic. Six\r\nmonths of CW traffic nets prepared me for my Extra Class license which\r\nI passed in June 1975. I spent four years on the island of Adak, in\r\nthe Aleutians, operating KL7AIZ and my CW skills helped to work a lot\r\nof Asian DX, especially pileups of JAs and UAs. A hiatus from 1981 to\r\n1995 didn't ruin my CW proficiency, so I became active again, chasing\r\nDX, only this time I abandoned SSB for CW because CW is a more sensible\r\nmode for DX since there is never a problem understanding the other\r\nfellow. Nowadays, I am back in the CW traffic nets, doing my public\r\nservice. I am NCS for the Virginia Net, the Virginia Tech Training Net\r\n(which I established in February), the Hit-and-Bounce Net and have one\r\nTCC sked a week. I look forward to encouraging new and old amateurs\r\nalike to become involved in CW traffic handling and the VTTN provides a\r\nmeans for anyone who is not \"net-savvy\" to jump in and get a taste of\r\nwhat CW traffic nets are all about. The VTTN is active each Tuesday\r\nevening, on 3680 kHz, at 8 p.m., eastern time. The VTTN runs strictly\r\nat 5 wpm, but will QRQ or QRS to send or receive traffic if\r\nparticipants so request. All stations are welcome to check in.\r\n\r\nRev: WA4DOX - Wed Jun 10 7:49:42 1998\r\n"

Prior to starting my BSEE degree at the\r\nUniversity of South Florida in 1968, I took my Novice exam (WN4KTF),\r\nupgrading to General and Advanced over the next year or so. While at\r\nUSF I joined the USF Amateur Radio Club, and during my four years was\r\nthe secretary, treasurer and president. The USF Jewish Student Union\r\nalso interested me so I joined and was president of it for a year,\r\ntoo. During this time I \"upgraded\" my station to a Heathkit HW-100.\r\n\r\nThis led to my 1973 trip to Arad, Israel, a small town thousands of\r\nyears old located in the northern Negev desert. Here I started my\r\nengineering career as a control systems and instrumentation engineer,\r\nand operating as WB4KTF/4X. During this period I received my Israeli\r\nlicense 4Z4VF, since changed to 4X1GJ. I met my future wife, Esther,in\r\nArad and we got married on the day of the Yom Kippur war cease fire.\r\nOur daughter, Heilla, was born in Beersheva a year later.\r\n\r\nWe moved to Lakeland, Florida in 1976 and operated for 2.5 years\r\nbefore moving to Houston, Texas. Our son, Ilan, was born in 1979,\r\nshortly after we arrived in Houston; so he is a \"native Texan\". We\r\nused our new Kenwood TS430S and a Wilson 3 element beam for years. In\r\n1992, I was assigned to Moscow, Russia, where for the next 7 months I\r\nworked torwards getting a license. After giving away gifts of vodka,\r\nwhiskey, two homebrew CW transmitters, and $120 I managed to get the\r\nfirst license issued to an American to operate from his own apartment,\r\nR3A/WB4KTF. So, I operated from the Mezhdunarodnaya Complex on the\r\nMoscow River near the Russian White-House for about 7 months before\r\nmoving to my own apartment with my family. I operated from the 12th\r\nfloor, just 3 blocks north of the Kremlin, using my Kenwood TS430S and\r\nan AEA ISO-LOOP antenna into Europe, Asia and Africa. Our assignment\r\nwas completed in December 1994, so we returned to Houston, Texas, away\r\nfrom the cold and snow. Hey, we \"Texans\" do not like\r\n\r\nI now have a Kenwood TS690S, a GAP Eagle vertical antenna, a homebrew 6\r\nmeter halo hidden up in a tree, and an attic mounted 2 meter\r\ngroundplane. The station is 100olar powered using a single 40 watt\r\nsolar panel and two 6 volt golf cart batteries, with a homebrew FET\r\ncharge controller. I can be found mostly on 6, 2, 17, 20 and 12\r\nmeters. Today, I work as the Director of Quality for an industrial\r\nautomation supplier. We provide process control systems to the\r\nrefining, chemical, textile and pharmaceutical industries.\r\n\r\nRev: WB4KTF - Tue Jun 16 16:43:39 1998\r\n"

We bought a used 3-element 15M\r\nbeam, and our rotator was a brick on a rope. One of us would call\r\nCQ,and yell out the callsign of whoever answered, so the other could\r\nswing the beam in the right direction.

With 1000 watts, and a 6 el. beam\r\nat 120 feet, we worked the world. Later, I had an Icom 735 at home. In\r\n1997, I moved into a new home in an area that didn't allow outside\r\nantennas.

"Bio": "I got interested in ham radio as a teenager, and passed my Novice test\r\nwhen I was living in Maryland in the ninth grade in 1959. I don't\r\nremember the callsign. I moved back to Texas soon thereafter, and\r\nreceived new Novice callsign KN5FRR. In those days, applicants for\r\nGeneral class and above were required to travel to the nearest FCC\r\nDistrict offices to take the tests, and I went to Houston from my home\r\nin Bryan, TX and passed the General test in about the year 1961. My\r\nnew callsign was WA5PDS.\r\n\r\nI joined the US Navy in 1963 as a radioman. After radioman school in\r\nSan Diego, CA, I was stationed on the USS Renshaw (DD-499), a destroyer\r\nhomeported in Pearl Harbor. I was granted permission from the Chief of\r\nNaval Operations to operate an amateur radio station aboard the ship\r\nwhenever it was in port, using the equipment in the ship's radio shack,\r\nmostly Collins stuff. I made a lot of contacts with hams in the\r\norient, as well as a few phone patches home to my folks in Texas. I\r\ngot out of the service in 1966 and enrolled in college. Moving back\r\nand forth from school to home each year made it hard to keep my hobby\r\nactive, and I eventually was unable to make the certification at\r\nrenewal time (no longer a requirement) that I met the operating\r\ncurrency requirements. My license expired.\r\n\r\nIn succeeding years, it remained one of my goals to return to ham\r\nradio. I made it a reality on April 25, 1966, when I took and passed\r\nall the written elements required to qualify for a new General class\r\nlicense. The same evening I passed the 20 wpm code exam. I was a ham\r\nagain, callsign KC5UDZ.\r\n\r\nI upgraded to Advanced in Feb '97, keeping the same callsign, and again\r\nthe following month to Amateur Extra class, new callsign AC5LS.\r\n\r\nIn addition to ham radio, I enjoy boating, digital/video editing, and\r\n3D graphics and animation, though I'm not much good at the latter. I\r\nam a pilot/aircraft owner, and we also enjoy RV'ing in our Beaver\r\nPatriot motorhome.\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: AC5LS - Sun Jul 5 7:12:52 1998\r\n"

"Bio": "Greetings from Virginia!\r\n\r\nHamming has been my favorite hobby since 1971 when \"Kilowatt Five\r\nLights Water & Sewage\" showed me what it was all about. I earned the\r\ncallsign WN5FML at age 14. After tiring of crystal control and 75\r\nwatts maximum input, I upgraded to General and Advanced, signing\r\nWB5FML, and CW traffic handling was \"it\". Every aspect of it was\r\nenjoyed, from novice nets to the Transcontinental Corps.\r\n\r\nAfter joining the Air Force, I upgraded to Extra Class and was assigned\r\nthe callsign AH2N on Guam Island. Guam was a fun tour, and that\r\ncertainly included ham radio. DXing from Midway and Wake Islands were\r\nhighlights of those years, as well as being allowed to guest operate at\r\nKX6BU on Kwajalein Atoll and KM6BI on Midway. At that time I was a\r\nWC-130 pilot with the (now closed) 54th Weather Reconnaissance Squadron\r\n\"Typhoon Chasers\". We were the sister squadron of the \"Hurricane\r\nHunters\" who still operate out of Biloxi, Mississippi. That serious\r\nCollins HF gear on board the C-130 came in handy for some late night\r\nragchewing on long, boring overwater flights. When I left Guam in\r\n1984, I put ham radio on the shelf.\r\n\r\nAfter Guam came Texas and the tactical airlift version of the C-130.\r\nThat's probably the most fun flying I ever did--horsing a 100,000+ lb\r\nairplane onto and off of short dirt assault strips out in the middle of\r\nnowhere. \"LAPESing\" (Low Altitude Parachute Extraction System) the\r\nSheridan tank was a gas, too. It weighed about a third of what the\r\nempty airplane did, and we kicked it out the back while flying at an\r\naltitude of five feet.\r\n\r\nAfter grad school in Ohio, I ended up here in Northern Virginia, where\r\nI worked for a Defense Department agency and then became a beltway\r\nbandit. I prefer to call myself a highway helper, though. Currently,\r\nmy work involves the integration of weapons effects computer codes into\r\na modeling and simulation environment.\r\n\r\nHam Radio reentered the scene in 1997, and the Guam callsign was traded\r\nin on one of those store-bought 5-Land One-by-Twos that I had coveted\r\n20 years ago. The hobby sure has changed! CW contesting is much more\r\nfun now that computers have entered the scene. One thing that hasn't\r\nchanged, I noticed, are the CB channels on 75M SSB!\r\n\r\nSome affiliations: ARRL, DXCC, Woodbridge Wireless Inc., Ten-Ten\r\n(11867), QCWA (29198), 3905 Century Club, Geratol Net (2097), and the\r\n247 DX Group (STAND BY PLEASE, STAND BY!!!

"Bio": "How Did You Get Into HAM RADIO?\r\n\r\nI used to drag race. Since I got married, my priorities have changed.\r\nI needed to find a safer hobby that allowed me to be at home with my\r\nfamily.\r\n\r\nI had already sold my car--but had not replaced the hobby. I made a\r\nlist of criteria I wanted my new hobby to have:\r\n\r\n Allow me to be home more often. Challenge my intellect. Allow me to\r\n tinker and build. Beneficial to my family. Beneficial to my\r\n community. Not terribly expensive. Ability to build friendships with\r\n variety of people. Ability to diversify within the scope of the\r\n hobby. Integration with computers. Friendly competition.\r\n\r\n\r\nA close friend, W5LA, knew I was looking for a hobby. I did not know\r\nvery much about ham radio. I did know that he was a ham, but that was\r\nall.\r\n\r\nHe invited me to his shack for a visit. After he completed several DX\r\nphone and CW contacts, I was hooked! I ran out to get a QST (July 1997\r\nissue) and a TechPlus study manual. 19 days later, I became KD5CAS.\r\n\r\nW5LA gave me an old 2 meter rig, and the night before the FCC issued my\r\ncallsign I built a 3 element Yagi for 2 meters from these plans:\r\nhttp://www.qth.com/antenna/tiny3.htm I mounted the antenna on a shovel\r\nhandle about 6 feet above the ground. My very first transmission keyed\r\nup a repeater about 150 miles away! WOW! What a way to start!\r\n\r\nI started shopping for a used HF rig. A couple a hams had me over to\r\ntheir shacks to see their equipment. By September, I was set with a\r\nKenwood TS-430s to a homebrew (40-15-10) dipole. W5LA was in my shack\r\nwith me for my first QSO. I was so nervous I could hardly copy the CW,\r\nand had to rely on his copy to repond to the other station! W5LA\r\noffered encouragement and support as I entered 'frontier' territory.\r\n\r\nI had already joined the local ham club. W5LA challenged me to a\r\n\"Worked All States\" contest. I was ahead by several states at the\r\nNovember club meeting. Another ham asked about the contest during the\r\nclub business. Boy, I was proud to know that I was 'beating' an Extra\r\nclass ham. The club members became a 'cheering' section for the\r\ncontest. So, the contest also served to help me meet other hams in the\r\nclub.\r\n\r\nEvery person that I have met or talked with face-to-face has been\r\nhelpful and patient in answering my questions or helping me build my\r\nshack.\r\n\r\nOn April 18, just eight months to the day since I was first licensed, I\r\nupgraded to General. My elmer was also at the test session, still\r\nencouraging me.\r\n\r\nI don't regret becoming a ham!\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: KD5CAS - Thu Jul 9 8:48:57 1998\r\n"

"Bio": "I'm a \"hoosier\" by birth (Indianapolis) but I grew up in New York, just\r\nnorth of New York City, in the town of Crestwood. Many friends were\r\nmidwesterners, like my folks (from Chicago). One boy down the street\r\nwas a ham radio operator as a teenager.\r\n\r\nI started college at Manhattanville College near White Plains, but my\r\nfolks moved to New Orleans, so I followed them a year later and went to\r\nTulane University. I majored in French, but went to work in the\r\nmedical field and was soon managing a small medical office for a local\r\nplastic surgeon. I married a young doctor who became a Pediatrician\r\nand we lived in Texas where we had our first son. Our second son was\r\nborn in Valdosta, GA while we were in the Air Force there. To my\r\nsurprise, we ended up in Redlands, CA when we left the Air Force. I\r\nmanaged my husband's office when he went into solo practice and did so\r\nfor many years. After 14 years of medical office management, I studied\r\ncomputers and became a computer consultant. About that time, that\r\nmarriage ended.\r\n\r\nI greatly enjoyed being a trainer in the computer field, specializing\r\nin training medical office personnel. I was a serious computer\r\n'nerd'. I was on computer BBS's, where I met Allan (KC5LT). We talked\r\nfor months before meeting. Once we met, we became inseparable. Using\r\nmy love of computers and BBSing, he got me into ham radio by getting me\r\nhooked on packet radio.\r\n\r\nSince Allan was a truck driver, I decided to join him on the road so as\r\nto not be always home 'waiting' alone. I learned VHF packet radio\r\nmobile and got my Novice and Tech licenses. Then Allan introduced me\r\nto HF packet, then amtor, and finally HF pactor. We took a one-year\r\nsabbatical and lived in Mexico on our 45' sailboat. I decided I HAD to\r\nhave my General or Advanced license, so I studied hard. I got my\r\nGeneral just after our return from Mexico early in 1995, and my\r\nAdvanced in June.\r\n\r\nI enjoy communication and computers, and we have run an HF Pactor\r\nWinlink MBO (BBS) as well as done a lot of digital communications,\r\nincluding SSTV and downloading weather FAX. We are always mobile...\r\nmaritime mobile at home on our sailboat, or mobile at work in our 18\r\nwheel truck. We work SSB, SSTV and HF pactor mostly, and are on\r\ninternet quite a lot. We enjoy working with the digital gateways that\r\ntransfer messages between HF pactor and internet email. I'm known as\r\n\"Home of the Mobile\".

"Bio": "In the late seventies, I was a young teenager interested in CB radio.\r\nMy uncle, Tom Owens, KB5SS, introduced me to Amateur radio. I first\r\nobtained novice class license at age 13 under call WB5EBO. By age\r\nfifteen, I had mastered CW and passed the advanced test and was\r\nupgraded to N5BKV. After highschool, I lost much of my interest in HAM\r\nradio through college and graduate school. However, after marriage,\r\nI'm now in my mid thirties and the interest is comming back. Over the\r\nyears I have owned the following HF rigs: Heathkit SB101; Kenwood\r\nTS530S; Drake TR4 twins; Yeasu FT890; Yeasu FT1000; Yeasu FT900-AT.\r\nThe best of the bunch was the FT1000. Over the years I have also owned\r\nnumberous 2 meter rigs, probably too numerous to remember then all,\r\nbut my first was a CLEGG 25w. unit. Over the years I remember a Sears\r\ncrystal rig, a couple of kenwood synthesized mobile rigs, Kenwood,\r\nSantec, and Yeasu HT's. They all seem to come into my life and then\r\ndisappear at flea market sales when I get short on cash, or board....\r\nNow I have two Yeasu FT8500 dual banders and an Ft2500 for mobil rigs,\r\nand an Alinco DJ190 HT. My life now is very busy with my law practice\r\nand my 2 year old son. My wife does not support the hobby because it\r\ntakes financial and time resources away from the focus of the family.\r\nShe is probably right based upon the way that I have utilized the hobby\r\nin the past. I'd like to get one of the new DSP HF rigs and get back\r\ninto HF. But I'll have to find a way to make it work where it doesnt\r\ninterfere with my young family obligations. I'm thinking about\r\nmobile??? Thanks for taking a look at my biography. '73s.\r\n\r\nRev: N5BKV - Sun Jul 19 10:54:41 1998\r\n"

I am a\r\nnative of the State of New Mexico, my great grand parents having\r\nsettled in this area in the 1880s.\r\n\r\nI have been interested in electronics since my early teen years. I was\r\nfirst licensed as a Novice in 1960, with the station callsign KN5FPO.\r\nI upgraded to General in 1961, and the station callsign was K5FPO. In\r\n1977, under the original Extra Class \"Vanity\" call sign program, I\r\nselected N5IA for my station.\r\n\r\nI received my education in Electronics at the El Paso (Texas) School of\r\nElectronics and have held an FCC commercial license since 1961. I work\r\nin the electric power distribution industry with my current job\r\nposition being that of Supervisor of Technical Services. I am involved\r\nin power line engineering, ROW, SCADA, and various other\r\ntelecommunications applications.\r\n\r\nI have been active in Amateur Radio all these years with the first 14\r\nyears exclusively in HF. From 1974 until the present I have also been\r\nvery involved in designing, installing, and maintaining VHF and UHF\r\nmountaintop repeaters, remotely controlled base stations, and linking\r\nsystems.\r\n\r\nCurrently my main HF activity is contesting, in particular on 160\r\nMeters. I particularly enjoy the challenge of constructing antenna\r\nsystems, both transmit and recieve, that make my station competitive on\r\nTop Band. Operating in the Low Power (100 Watt) category I have been\r\nable to place in the top 10, world wide, in a few contests.\r\n\r\nI am married and my wife's station callsign is KB5VTM. She and I have\r\n7 children, of which the oldest two are out on their own, the middle\r\nthree are in college, and the youngest two are still at home.\r\n\r\nA note of interest is that even though we live in the small farming\r\ncommunity of VIRDEN in the State of NEW MEXICO, our legal mailing\r\naddress is through the Duncan, Arizona Post Office.

I met my first ham in Junior High School and wanted\r\nto become one. He did CW, and I was enthralled by it. However, it\r\nseemed beyond me to learn that strange beeping language. Becoming a\r\nham would have to wait for me. I went to Abilene Christian University\r\nand there met my wife, Janet. From there I went to Baylor College of\r\nMedicine in Houston, TX, and then did a residency in Family Practice\r\nat Portland, OR. We went to Nigeria, West Africa to serve in medical\r\nmissions for 16 months, then returned to live in Abilene, TX, where we\r\nhave been for most of the time since 1980. I now work in Abilene State\r\nSchool caring for people with mental retardation.\r\n\r\nMy long interest in amateur radio surfaced again when my son was in boy\r\nscouts. There was a radio badge which interested us. So my wife, son,\r\nand myself studied and passed the Tech levels. I flunked my first code\r\ntest, but my wife passed it! Janet is KC5PYJ and Gabriel is KD5BXT. I\r\nfinally passed the code test, then rapidly advanced to extra. Dream\r\ncome true. Now I can cruise along at about 20-25 WPM in CW, and like\r\nit so much I joined the FISTS CW Club. We hope to keep CW alive! It's\r\na lot of fun, and the people I meet on CW are real ladies and\r\ngentlemen!\r\n\r\nI'm a Christian, member of the Church of Christ. Since I can't be in\r\nmedical missions now, I send out Bible correspondence courses by snail\r\nmail and e-mail all over the world. Between amateur radio and those\r\ncourses, I get exposure to many people in far-away lands! It's great\r\nfun!\r\n\r\nI hope this finds you in good health: body, soul, and spirit.

Former members of the\r\nTransmitting Amateurs Association (TAA) assisted in the organization of\r\nthe new club. The TAA was organized in 1927 and was active until the\r\nstart of World War Two. In July 1949, the constitution and bylaws of\r\nthe El Paso Amateur Radio Club were approved. The club was incorporated\r\non December 12, 1949.\r\n\r\nThe new club immediately started radio classes, radio demonstrations\r\nand field trips such as the trip to White Sands Missile Range to\r\nobserve the firing of a German V2 missile. A building fund was\r\ncommenced in March 1949. Approximately $7,000 donations to the fund\r\nwere made through selling chances on a Chevrolet sedan. This project\r\nnetted about $4,000.\r\n\r\nOn June 19, 1949 Field Day was held at Cowboy Park (then located on\r\nAlameda Avenue). There were eight amateur radio transmitters in\r\noperation, including transmitters of EPARC and the US Naval Reserve.\r\nThe price drawing for the Chevrolet and other prizes were held during\r\nthe Field Day Activites. An estimated crowd of 2,000 people attended\r\nthe drawing.\r\n\r\nThe club continued to add to the building fund by raffles and actions.\r\nDue to the generosity of Henry Woolridge of the Lone Star Motor\r\nCompany, the property at 1501 Golden Hill Terrace was purchased at the\r\nbargain price of $1,000 in 1951. Records are not available on the cost\r\nof the building, but the building was contructed by the John Chamness\r\nContruction Company at no profit. The materials used in the\r\nconstruction were also furnished at cost. The members of the club did\r\nall the painting, put up the ceiling, laid the floor tile and furnished\r\nchairs and tables. The antenna tower was donated and erected by Tex\r\nBurdick W5BQU.\r\n\r\nThe club has operated a club station since it was organized. From 1947\r\nto 1950 the club call was W5MGI. The club call was W5PEW form 1951 to\r\n1954. From 1954 to the present the club call has been W5ES. The W5ES\r\ncall was originally held by Overman, who at the time of his death in\r\n1933 was a member of the Transmitting Amateurs Association.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: W5ES - Mon Aug 24 20:58:04 1998\r\n"

"Bio": "I became interested in amateur radio in mid-life. My brother-in-law and\r\nhis wife had entered their careers as evangelical missionaries to\r\nVenezuela, Colombia, and Western South America. They came to visit and\r\nhad been presented a Zenith Transoceanic Shortwave Radio as a\r\ngoing-away present by their local church. We listened to the foreign\r\nbroadcast stations which came in so clearly that I was facinated. This\r\nwas in 1965. I bought an inexpensive receiver and began to listen to\r\nshort-wave myself. There was still a good many amateur radio stations\r\noperating in the AM mode on the ham bands at the time and I found\r\nmyself listening to them more and more. I thought it would be nice to\r\nbe able to talk with my missionary relatives in this manner, so I\r\ninquired as to how to get a license. I went to the library and began to\r\nread about radio theory and contacted a couple of local hams. I was\r\nable to borrow some code practice records from them and proceeded to\r\nlearn the alphabet. Of course, I made all of the mistakes of learning\r\nthe code which made it about twice as hard to get my code speed up to\r\nthe required level. I met one of the original ham operators in town and\r\nhe guided me through the Novice period and helped me set up my\r\nstation. In a few months I had mastered the code requirement and the\r\ntheory requirement for my General license. In retrospect, I think I\r\nwould have enjoyed that period of ham radio more if I had kept my\r\nNovice license for the full year.I admire the hams who preceded me for\r\ntheir skill at homebrew construction. Many of them spent years\r\nbuilding up their AM stations to the state of the art at that time. I\r\nalso met several of the pioneers in sideband construction. The theory\r\nwas understandable to most amateur operator in those early days, until\r\nwe entered the \"blackbox\" period of solid state construction. Few hams\r\ntoday are proficient enough, or have the resources to build a state of\r\nthe art transceiver by themselves. Something has definitely been\r\nlost.Today, in my retirement, I continue to operate daily on 40 and 75\r\nmeters. Friendships acquired in my years of ham radio are cherished and\r\nI consider ham radio to be a great life-long activity with many facets.\r\nI may be contacted on the 7290 traffic net daily. In addition, I\r\nmaintain a webpage that is edited daily at\r\nhttp://www.angelfire.com/de/classicalstories\r\n\r\nRev: WA5PDK - Tue Jun 30 7:53:45 1998\r\n"

Left home\r\nin 1948, spent a year in Washington, DC and enlisted in the U.S. Air\r\nForce in May 1949. First 10 years in the AF were in administration and\r\nthe next 11 years included retraining into electronics and working with\r\nthe B-52 bomber radar jamming and then to the AGM 28B missile test\r\nequipment maintenance. (AGM 28Bs were 42' missiles with a J-52 jet\r\nengine that mounted 1 under each wing of the B-52s. They looked like a\r\nsmall fighter without a cockpit and carried a very powerful small H\r\nBomb.) After retiring from the Air Force in Jan 70, I sold real estate\r\nfor about 16 years. Since then I have been in and out of sales jobs of\r\nvarious types and have spent about 13 years in Quality Assurance\r\nprograms in local manufacturing plants in Austin,TX. I still stay busy\r\nwith part time low stress jobs that I enjoy but consider myself\r\nsemi-retired.

These sites are home to 70\r\ncm. repeaters and point to point linking systems, utilized in\r\nconjunction with 2 meter remotely controlled base stations.\r\n\r\nJack's Peak is located in Grant County approximately midway between\r\nLordsburg and Silver City in the southwest corner of the state. Jack's\r\nPeak is one of the 3 highest peaks in the top of the Burro Mountain\r\nrange and sits astride the Continental Divide at an elevation of 7,985\r\nfeet (2,434 Meters). It is in the eastern portion of Grid Square DM52\r\nat 32-34-55 N & 108-25-56 W.\r\n\r\nJack's Peak was first used as a solar observatory site in the 1930s but\r\nwas abandoned for that purpose in the 1950s. The first electronic\r\ncommunications equipment was installed in the late 1950s.\r\n\r\nIn 1976 JPARA applied for and received a permit from the US Forest\r\nService to install Amateur Radio repeater equipment. JPARA has its own\r\n12'x16' building and 135' high tower to accommodate 2 VHF and 1 UHF FM\r\nrepeaters, VHF and UHF packet, & 7 UHF linking radios, all in the\r\nAmateur service. We also accommodate 2 television translators and 4\r\ncommercial and government VHF repeaters.\r\n\r\nJack's Peak is also home to telecommunications installations for the\r\nState of New Mexico, US Border Patrol, Texas-New Mexico Power Co., &\r\nvarious other government and private organizations.\r\n\r\nJack's Peak is a very rough high desert peak with a commanding view\r\ninto Arizona to the west, Mexico to the south, and even to the Franklin\r\nMountains at El Paso, Texas, to the south east. Primary vegetation is\r\nPonderosa Pine, Pinon Pine, Juniper, and numerous Oak species. It is\r\ninhabited by Mule deer, Mountain Lion, Black Bear, two rattlesnake\r\nspecies and many other smaller animals.

P.I. (DU3);\r\nMarcus Isld (KA6); Iwo Jima Isld (KA6); Wake (KW6); Palau, Yap, Ulithi,\r\n(KC6); Kwajalein, Majuro, (KX6); Guam, Saipan (KG6); Kure (KH7); Midway\r\n(KM6); Samoa (KS6); Johnson (KJ6). Aeromobile operation was from a USCG\r\nC-130 while enroute to these locations to service the USCG LORAN\r\nStations there as well as in International waters off the coasts of\r\nViet-Nam, Thailand, Cambodia, Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Japan, and\r\nKorea. While based at Elizabeth City, N.C., (1967-1970) I operated as\r\nWA0TBU/4 and as aeromobile in the North Atlantic waters off Greenland,\r\nCanada, and Iceland; European waters off Great Britain, Ireland,\r\nNorway, Sweden, Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, France, and Spain, and\r\nin the Caribbean area, and as KL7GAC (1964-67) based at Annette Island,\r\nAlaska, also operating from Kodiak Isld, Sitka, and Juneau. In those\r\ndays you were allowed to have a \"home call\" (WA0TBU from St. Louis,\r\nMo.) and a \"Secondary Station\" call (my callsigns from military\r\naddresses in Alaska and Hawaii). My last Coast Guard duty station was\r\nGlenview NAS, Chicago, Ill, where I traded WA0TBU for KC9DA. After\r\nretiring from Coast Guard Aviation with over 20 years of service I\r\nmoved to Southern California where I now work for Boeing (formerly at\r\nRockwell Intl, then McDonnell Douglas, now all Boeing) and traded KC9DA\r\nfor KE6UP. I never liked the 2 by 2 calls and so traded KE6UP for\r\nK6ACZ. I am active on the HF bands and operate the CQWWDX SSB Contest\r\nfrom the Philippines about every two years. I also try to find a more\r\n\"rare\" California county for the CA QSO Party (CQP) from time to time.\r\nI have operated the CQP from Imperial and Tulare counties as well as\r\nthe home county of Orange.

After a year I upgraded to the\r\nGeneral Class License. My first station was a homebrew 6AG7, 6L6\r\ntransmitter that I built from the 1953 Arrl Handbook. My first receiver\r\nwas a National SW54.. I lived in Yuba City California. Then I saved my\r\nmoney and bought a Viking Adventurer and an NC 300 receiver and worked\r\na lot of DX on CW. As time went on I discovered that the way to get\r\nbetter gear is to buy kits and I built a Heathkit Twoer and got on 2\r\nmeters. I made the mistake of getting married. Then I realized that the\r\nbetter way was to buy used commercial gear and then trade up. Finally I\r\ntraded everything I had in to Henry Radio and got a set of Drakes, the\r\nT4x and R4a, a 40 foot self supporting tower and a 3 element wide\r\nspaced monobander for 20 meters. Then I was in heaven, it was 1968! I\r\nmoved to Oroville, CA, and later to the Santa Cruz Mountains. I worked\r\nway to much in main frame computers and got lots of gray hair by age\r\n31. Then things went down the toilet as they have a way of going and\r\nin 1970 I had to sell my gear. My beam fell and broke while taking down\r\nthe tower and I went through a divorce and only wound up with my king\r\nsize bed while the xyl got everything else. So...I my life changed and\r\ninhertited some money and lived in Mexico and travelled and I was off\r\nthe air until 1996. I was living here in Ferndale, CA When Mark, AA6DX\r\nstopped into my office to try to sell me an ad and I found out I could\r\nget my old call back through the Vanity Call program.

"Bio": "Born: June 19, 1953 in Shelby, Michigan, USA.\r\n\r\nGrew up in Fresno, California.\r\n\r\nNow living and working in the Los Angeles and Orange County area.\r\n\r\nSome of my earliest memories are of my father operating his amateur\r\nradio, speaking into the mic \"this is king 6 oboe uncle easy.\" I\r\nalways wondered who Uncle Easy was. My father had been exposed to\r\nradios as a pilot in the Navy during World War II, but he had never had\r\nany formal training in electronics. He was a biologist by training and\r\nan entomology professor at Fresno State College, and he always hated\r\nmathematics. So it amazed me that he could take old war surplus radio\r\nequipment apart and modify it and tweak it to use it as ham gear, even\r\nthough he didn't know electronic theory. As I grew up I kept thinking\r\nabout getting an amateur radio license, but the theory just seemed so\r\ncomplicated when I was young. But because they seemed so mysterious, I\r\nwas determined to someday understand how a radio worked. This was one\r\nof the reasons that I decided to study Electrical Engineering when I\r\nwent to college. I received my Bachelor's degree from the University\r\nof California in Santa Barbara and then went\r\n\r\nEventually I got around to getting that amateur radio license, and when\r\nthe vanity call sign program was announced, I thought it would be nice\r\nto get my dad's old call sign back on the air again in honor of his\r\nmemory and how he inspired my current career. My main interests are\r\nVHF and UHF operating and contests, and amateur television. I am\r\ninvolved with my company's amateur radio club, The TRW Amateur Radio\r\nClub, W6TRW in Redondo Beach, California. Famous for their monthly\r\namateur radio swap meet and their excellent performance during Field\r\nDay. I operate amateur television from my home and from the W6TRW club\r\nstation.\r\n\r\nI am married and have a fantastic little 2 year old boy named Nathan,\r\nand a daughter on the way. The children have to take priority over ham\r\nradio, but I try to do as much as I can.\r\n\r\nOther hobbies: Playing and listening to classical music, reading about\r\nscience particularly astronomy and physics, science fiction and Star\r\nTrek (Babylon 5 was pretty good too), old sports cars (I have been\r\nrestoring a 1967 Sunbeam Tiger forever), hiking and traveling (I plan\r\nto do some VHF/UHF mountain topping when the kids get a little older),\r\nand I am a lifelong fan of \"The Prisoner\" TV show starring Patrick\r\nMcGoohan.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: K6OUE - Fri Jun 19 16:53:24 1998\r\n"

His person\r\nto person and sales training skills were honed early in life.\r\n\r\nJack was in military intelligence and continued in civilian service\r\nupon leaving the military. He met and married his wife of 43 years\r\nwhile both worked at C.I.A. in the Washington, D.C. area.\r\n\r\nAfter a stint in the airframe industry, Jack rejoined his dad in their\r\nSan Diego automotive service business. He wrote and taught automotive\r\nservice and business courses at San Diego City College. Jack then\r\njoined Conoco/Douglas Oil Company, and subsequently developed their\r\nsales, management development and management/technical service programs\r\nfor Douglas franchised dealers.\r\n\r\nJack joined Petrolane as Marketing V.P. for their Valley Industrial\r\nServices Division.

"Bio": "Formerly K4CHK I was born in 1942. My main hobbies are amateur radio,\r\ncomputers, and snow skiing. I've been a hot air balloon pilot since\r\n1992, which got me back into ham radio. We had been using handheld CB\r\ntransceivers to communicate balloon-to-chase-crew until the chase truck\r\ngot stuck deep in a arroyo on the New Mexico desert. Up in the balloon,\r\nwe lost line-of-sight and thus communication with the chase truck.\r\nAfter landing the balloon, we had to trek many hot, unpleasant miles to\r\nfind the truck. So a friend suggested I get my ham license back so we\r\ncould use mountaintop \"repeaters.\" I asked, \"What's a repeater?\" And\r\nham radio started anew. I got a ticket and my mom (N5ZYE), my best lady\r\nBarbara (KD6OZB), and daughter Megan (KD6HVL) joined me. Now we use\r\n2-meter repeaters for back-up communication between balloons and chase\r\ntrucks. It works great.

Amateur\r\nradio is a great hobby and it can be a useful tool in many situations.\r\nI have had alot of fun since I got my first licence in 1991.\r\n\r\nI am active on the HF bands. I often operate on 17 meters at home and\r\nin the vehicle. I like the propagation characteristics of 18MHz as you\r\ncan often DX on fairly minimal power and antenna. With the solar\r\nactivity increasing we can look forward to even better conditions in\r\nthe near future! Listening for calls on SSB!\r\n\r\nI also spend alot of time with the local fm repeaters. There is a great\r\nbunch of hams on the Western Amateur Linking Association (W.A.L.A)\r\nrepeaters. We have a local port on 223.78 MHz, and the system talks up\r\nand down the state of California. It is great to be able to talk with\r\nthe local hams when traveling north, even from several hundred miles\r\naway! It is a fine Amateur service with a great group of fellows and\r\ngals.\r\n\r\nWALA has a home page at http://www.wala.org . Go and have a look! I\r\nhave also put a solo page together.

I'm an amateur\r\nastronomer, space science and computer enthusiast, musician, video\r\nproducer and I manage technology for a major corporation. I combine my\r\ninterests by producing/presenting free multi-media space science\r\npresentations for schools, scouts, churches, Astronomy and HAM Radio\r\nclubs, observatories, colleges and universities.\r\n\r\n\r\nOver the years, I've visited NASA installations, participated in press\r\nconferences/events, and interviewed NASA personnel, including Jim\r\nLovell, Buzz Aldrin and Norm Thaggard -- via HAM Radio - while Norm was\r\nliving on the Russian space station MIR! I believe strongly in this\r\nnation's space program and the international efforts towards the\r\nfurther exploration of space. I also record NASA missions, events and\r\nprograms from NASA Television and have an enormous collection of NASA\r\nfootage.\r\n\r\n\r\nI also host a weekly space science/aerospace/amateur satellite Ham\r\nRadio network called \"SpaceNet\", carried on the Stanislaus Amateur\r\nRadio Association's (SARA) WD6EJF 2 meter repeater located on Mt. Oso,\r\nin central California. We meet each week to share the latest space news\r\nand have fun. Our members include aerospace and science professionals\r\nbut most of us are simply people with an interest in space science.\r\n\r\n\r\nWe began SpaceNet in June 1997 and planned on it being monthly. With\r\nthe huge interest in space that began the following week - with the\r\nlanding of Mars Pathfinder -- SpaceNet became weekly. During our first\r\nyear, we've helped Hams make their first satellite contacts,\r\ncommunicate with astronauts on board MIR and have their names placed on\r\ninterplanetary spacecraft. Our net starts at 8:00 PM PT Friday nights\r\nand can run from one to two hours. New listeners are always welcome to\r\ncheck-in. The output for SARA is 145.390 with minus offset, PL 136.5\r\nHz. SARA can be reached throughout central California.\r\n\r\n\r\nMy wife isn't a Ham but puts up with all that comes with being married\r\nto a musician and a Ham. She has her own hobbies, including gardening\r\nand designing clothing using a variety of sewing machines. She has her\r\nsewing room and I have my Ham shack, fair deal, huh? We have an\r\nenthusiastic daughter in grade school that loves dinosaurs, computers,\r\nBarbie's and cartoons! She's been able to use multi-media PC's since\r\nshe was 3 and is better at the net than I am. We all enjoy astronomy\r\nand the outdoors and that helps keep us grounded.\r\n\r\n\r\nAmateur Radio's been a great hobby and has been useful during the\r\nvarious natural disasters we've had recently. I've made friends,\r\nlearned more technology and have even made a difference in people's\r\nlives. I plan to be using Ham Radio into my retirement, when I'll have\r\nmore time to \"chase DX\". I wish you all the best and hope you enjoy\r\nHam Radio as much as I have! 73 everyone.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: KE6OAG - Sun Jul 26 6:14:21 1998\r\n"

I'm only 10 miles south of Gilroy which is the garlic\r\ncapital of the world. I'm in a little \"slice of heaven\" as these are\r\ntwo of my favorite things.\r\n\r\nIn 1996 I upgraded to extra and in 1997 I became the President of a\r\nfairly new organization here called ECTAR (Emergency Communications\r\nThrough Amateur Radio). ECTAR was one of the first ham clubs in the USA\r\nto obtain non-profit 501(c)(3) status. ECTAR is an ARRL affiliate club\r\nand it's members are also ARES members and Monterey County disaster\r\nservice workers.\r\n\r\nI operate both base and mobile on several bands but mostly \"hang out\"\r\non my repeater and 7.263 on 40m when I'm in the mobile. If you are ever\r\nin the Monterey County area, I own and maintain an open 440 machine on\r\n441.650 (PL 123.0). Give me a call!\r\n\r\nNo, I'm not a CHP officer as the picture suggests. I'm an air traffic\r\ncontroller here in Monterey (MRY). The picture was taken when I was to\r\nbe an \"extra\" in a TV movie which unfortunately never came to be. So\r\nmuch for stardom...\r\n\r\n73's\r\n\r\nKim\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: N6LP - Mon Jul 13 10:46:00 1998\r\n"

Allen is employed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena\r\nas an Engineering Assistant in the Ground Based Observational Systems\r\nDivision. Before transferring to J.P.L.in 1996, he was with the\r\nCalifornia Institute of Technology for 20 years.\r\n\r\nFrom his late teens on, Allen has had an interest in 2-way radio and\r\nPublic Service.\r\n\r\nSince receiving his ham license in 1989, Allen has been active each\r\nyear with communications for the Angeles Crest 100 Race at checkpoint\r\n\"Eagles Roost\" In April 1997, Q.S.T. Magazine published Allen's account\r\nof how packet radio supported the A.C. 100 race.\r\n\r\nIn November 1995, Allen proposed to the T.O.R.R.A. Steering Committee,\r\na plan to use A.P.R.S. (Automatic Packet Reporting System) for the 1997\r\nTournament of Roses Parade to track parade float convoys. After a year\r\nof planning, testing and the help of nine other T.O.R.R.A. members, the\r\nA.P.R.S. system worked flawlessly. In 1998 the role of A.P.R.S. was\r\nexpanded. For the first time, the new APRS-A4 software and \"Street\r\nAtlas\" maps were used at the receiving site at Parade Operations.\r\n\r\nAllen has developed two slide show talks on Amateur Radio. The first\r\none entitled \"Earth Quakes, Your Ham Shack, and Other Lash-Up Hints\"\r\nhas been shown 8 times. This presentation has been given at radio clubs\r\nfrom Venture to Riverside. This talk was presented at the A.R.R.L.\r\nSouthwest Division Convention on the \"Queen Mary\" in September 1995.\r\nHis newer slide show talk, entitled \"A.P.R.S., New Frontier in Packet\r\nRadio\" has been shown 5 times and was expanded and renamed \"Float 54\r\nWhere Are You?\". This talk/slide show was presented at the A.R.R.L.\r\nSouthwest Division Convention in Riverside, California in September\r\n1997.\r\n\r\n\"Float 54 Where Are You ?\"details the setup and workings of A.P.R.S.\r\nreceiving and tracking stations with diagrams. Slides of actual\r\nprogram setup screens, maps and tracking maps from the Tournament of\r\nRoses Parade are shown. Included are \"behind the scenes\" photos of\r\nfloat building, preparation and convoys.

I was a\r\nvolunteer Wireless Operator in the R.A.F. and was called up in\r\nAugust l939, a week before the European World War II started. After a\r\nspell as an operator for aircraft escorting convoys. Then I was sent\r\nto a Commando unit, and then to an overseas unit. I wound up in\r\nSumatra, Indonesia, just as the Japanese invaded the place. By an\r\nincredible stroke of luck, I escaped -- one of 13 out of a unit of\r\n1300. But then I found that I was in \"India Command\" where the rule\r\nwas that I had 4 years to serve there. India, in 1942 included\r\nPakistan, and I served in Peshawar and Madras before being sent to a\r\nnew commando unit at Poona, then to Bombay. I decided to study\r\nradio-engineering. When the unit was disbanded, I was sent to\r\nCawnpore, where I sat the exams of the City and Guilds of London\r\nInstitute and the British Institution of Radio Engineers, topping the\r\nlist in the latter exams and winning a couple of medals for the\r\nachievement. I had a job waiting for me (in a bank) when the war\r\nended. It wasn't the kind of job I wanted, but after some months of\r\ntrying for radio jobs, I had to accept it. I was sent to London,\r\nwhere I tried out for a job as Technical Manager of the R S G B. Then\r\nI decided to try an Australian Bank. We lived in Melbourne for 8\r\nyears. I like the South Pacific, but in 1956 I gave it all up to try\r\nmy hand in the U.S.A. I worked for Ampex, Alto Scientific Co.,\r\nShockley Semiconductor Corporation and Lockheed Missiles and Space\r\nDivision. Then I joined in a partnership to start our own company,\r\nwhich was bought up by Raytheon Corporation four years later , in\r\n1964. I haven't had a regular job since then, and the \"one-year-off\"\r\nthat I took happened to be the year in which electronics became a\r\nsub-section of computer technology. In more recent years, a couple of\r\nheart-attacks and quadruple by-pass surgery have limited my activities,\r\nand amateur radio has once more fascinated me. The F.C.C. exams were\r\nquite easy, so I got the grade of \"extra\" without difficulty. NK6D is\r\na CW station most of the time. I don't quite know why.

But me haveing no more then grade 8 education and no training in\r\nradio or repeaters it came as no surprise.

It was 1934, I was in seventh grade, and couldn't\r\nspend enough time playing with these magical devices in my attic cove.\r\n\r\nI made a crystal set using a piece of hard coal for the detector, and\r\nan oatmeal box to wind several hundred feet of magnet wire with a\r\nslider contact to tune stations hundreds of miles away.\r\n\r\nThen I made a simple transmitter-receiver using my second type 19\r\ntube. The first one taught me how to control 2 volts of filament\r\nvoltage. The man on Cortlandt Street didn't say a word as he swapped\r\nme for the new one.\r\n\r\nI believe that in 1935 at age 13, I may have caused the world's first\r\ntelevision interference. I was home alone in my third floor\r\nlaboratory, when the doorbell rang two flights below. My dog and I ran\r\ndown to greet a well dressed gentleman who said that he had been\r\nlooking for antennas, and had spotted my 5 meter J pole. (It turned\r\nout OK).\r\n\r\nHe was an electrical engineer for RCA in Manhattan, and lived on the\r\nnext street from our house in Ozone Park, Queens New York, sharing a\r\nrear yard fence. In his living room was a prototype console in which\r\nthe mirrored top lifted so that one could view the picture tube. The\r\ntuner was marked 1-2-3, and I watched a program broadcast from the\r\nEmpire State Building.\r\n\r\nHe told me to continue my experimenting, as my emissions didn't bother\r\na fellow experimenter. This work has been a joy in my life, retiring\r\nas a Development Engineer from Bell Labs AT&T Technologies at age 55,\r\nten years later retiring a second time in 1987 as Martin Marietta\r\nSenior Engineer at Vandenberg Space Launch Complex 6.\r\n\r\nI earned my amateur privileges at Air Force Scott Field Radio School in\r\n1943, and a ham ticket W2QQF arrived soon after my discharge in\r\nFebruary of 1946. I am now celebrating 52 years of Ham Radio with\r\ncalls in the following sequence: W2QQF, W4MGW, W2QQF again, W6FCR,\r\nupgrading as I went, and in November of 1996 given the Vanity Call\r\nW6BG.\r\n\r\nThe above QSL card is a block diagram of my remote ham station.

BUT, an antenna with elements just hanging out\r\nthere with no connection to the feedline????? Hard to believe in those\r\ndays, but, by golly, they worked!! (Became rather popular, too, but\r\nhave always wondered what happened to Mr. Uda.)\r\n\r\n\r\nWas a Junior at UC Berkeley (public speaking/english major) when WW2\r\nbroke out. To save the world for democracy (sic), I joined the Navy and\r\nlearned about new super-secret radar we were borrowing from the\r\nBritish, and then began installing same in submarines. In the fall of\r\n1942, volunteered for the new \"mosquito fleet\", and off I went into the\r\nPacific arena. Spent two & 1/2 years in Solomons/New Guinea area on PT\r\nBoats and establishing Port Director radio stations for Leyte\r\ninvasion. Contracted malaria severely & was surveyed from Navy 100%\r\ndisabled in 1945.\r\n\r\nResumed DXing & Contesting after the war. Experimented, mostly on ten\r\nmeters, with various antennas with combined driven/parasitic elements,\r\nand with Negative Cycle Loading of AM modulation. Excellent results\r\nwith 90 watts RF/150 watts audio, so published in CQ, January, 1959.\r\nHad a ball competing with kilowatts.\r\n\r\nObtained W6BH in 1968.\r\n\r\nWas now on an 1100 ft hill & used 5over5 on 20 meters for years.\r\nEarned quite a few certs in contests. Great DXing years, but my\r\nhearing was beginning to fade as a consequence of wartime muzzle blasts\r\ntoo many times..... Business career in marketing and entrepreneurism\r\nquite successful.

"Bio": "I am one of those computer people ... seemingly obsessed with detail\r\n... but in reality consumed by the complexity of it all. I mess with\r\nBilly Gates' latest Windows NT toys ... hopefully to the benefit of my\r\nclients. In the (now distant) past, I ran large IBM mainframes shops\r\n- mostly for the travel industry. Having switched to the micro world,\r\nI'm much more hands-on now and enjoying it.\r\n\r\nObviously, ham radio is a heavy interest. It took me 25 years to get\r\npast the 13 wpm obstacle to HF - but in just 43 days of June/July/98, I\r\nwent from Tech-Plus to Extra ... I was ready ! I finally got passed\r\nthe 13 wpm obstacle by using the MFJ Code Tutor ... to say the least, I\r\nhighly recommend it ! Now, if I can just get passed my deed\r\nrestrictions that forbid antennas higher than 23 feet !\r\n\r\nEqually of interest to me is radio control model aircraft - especially\r\nmedium to large size models. There's nothing quite like the feeling\r\nafter a completed flight ... especially with a smooth landing. I don't\r\nfly as well as my friends ... but I enjoy it very much ... especially\r\nhelping folks get started on the \"radio sticks\". If you haven't tried\r\nit, find a flying field near you and ask for a chance at the sticks -\r\nthey are usually VERY willing to help you get started.\r\n\r\nTravel is my third avocation - in the past provided by employment with\r\na now-defunct major air carrier. These days I can satisfy that yen\r\nbecause my younger son is with a surviving major carrier and provides\r\nme flight benefits ! Those flights allow me frequent access to\r\nfamily, friends and hobby events. Assuming my schedule is manageable,\r\nI get to most significant - and some not so significant - family\r\nevents, visit with friends I've left in distant cities, vacation in\r\nsome pretty nice locales and fly to the annual Dayton Hamfest ... as\r\nwell as the radio control equivalent in Toledo.\r\n\r\nI recently moved to South Texas - just west of San Antonio - and like\r\nit very much ... especially the folks around here. Having been born,\r\nraised and worked much in NYC and environs, my speech tags me heavily\r\nbut these fine Texans have accepted me as one of their own.\r\n\r\nUnfortunately, the weather is a larger burden than I expected - with\r\ntemps averaging 100+ since the first of May and humidity substantially\r\nhigher than my (native) wife promised !\r\n\r\nThat's got to be more than you want to know about me ! 73, w6BOB.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: W6BOB - Sun Jul 19 7:42:10 1998\r\n"

There were only three Novices in our small town so we were\r\noutcasts. Novices were despised at that time and were thought to be the\r\nbeginning of the end of Amateur Radio.\r\n\r\nMarch 1959 - Do or Die for Conditional (General) license. At that time\r\nthe Novice license expired after one year and wasn't renewable. You\r\neither upgraded or you were off the air! Code was no problem after a\r\nyear on CW, but the theory was a killer. \"Draw a schematic of a Class B\r\namplifier using push-pull modulation and explain your work\". Passed!\r\nGot a Hallicrafters S-53A. Wow. Three inches of bandspread. Traded in\r\nthe Chief for a Globe Scout 680A kit. Got chased off the bands trying\r\nto run 50 watts of Amplitude Modulation. Back to CW for the next 10\r\nyears.\r\n\r\n1961-1968 US Air Force. College. Engineer @ McDonnell Aircraft.\r\n\r\n1968 - Back on the air. Built a Heathkit SB-101. SSB for the first\r\ntime.

No more World Radio\r\nLabs? Walter Ashe? What is all this new stuff? Icom, Kenwood,\r\nYaesu...My license was expired, but I found I could start over. Do it\r\nright this time! Studying for license, bought a Collins S Line, passed\r\nNovice test and Extra CW. What a wonderful 1st year back on as KC6EYZ.\r\nSunspots going wild. If there are 10-10 numbers on 10 meters, why\r\naren't there 15-15 numbers on 15 meters? Thanks to Harry W6LKC for so\r\nmuch help during my first year back on the air.

"Bio": "I was born in 1948 in Torrance, California. My parents were from New\r\nHaven, Wyoming near Hulett, which is near The Devil's Tower, National\r\nMonument.\r\n\r\nI became interested in amateur radio as a result of helping my father\r\nrecover electronic components from old television sets. Later I built\r\ncrystal radio sets, strung antennas, built solid state beat frequency\r\noscillators, and was introduced to amateur radio by my good friend\r\n\"Butch\" (Lawrence) Fleming while taking electronic classes at Torrance\r\nHigh. Our high school electronics teacher, Mr. Robert Baker, also a\r\nham, was an inspiration to me.\r\n\r\nI was drafted into the US Army in 1968, took basic at Fort Ord and\r\nAdvanced Infantry Training at Fort Dix. I was selected for Field\r\nArtillery Officer Candidate School and was commissioned a second\r\nLieutenant in March 1969.\r\n\r\nDuring a subsequent assignment I met and married the former Barbara\r\nArlene Boyette, now W5HKY. I was assigned to Vietnam and while under\r\norders Barbara and I built a Heathkit HW 101.\r\n\r\nWhile in Vietnam I sponsored a series of MARS stations near Pleiku in\r\nthe 1972, and operated one from my \"hooch\" allowing me to run phone\r\npatches for the men and women assigned to II Corps from my quarters.\r\n\r\nI acquired my novice license, WN5LMJ, in 1974 while at Fort Sill,\r\nOklahoma. Barbara acquired her novice license, WD5HKY, after we were\r\nassigned to Fort Ord, California. Her mentor was the now famous Art\r\nBell, radio talk show host.\r\n\r\nI was the founder of the Greater Stuttgart Amateur Radio Club in\r\nStuttgart, Germany; co-founder of the Panama Canal Astronomical\r\nSociety, and founder of the Southwest Oklahoma Astronomical Society.\r\n\r\n\r\nToday Barbara and I have five children all licensed. Barbara and I\r\neach hold an extra class amateur radio license. She tends to the\r\nfamily and is very active witht the VHL Family Alliance. I am busy\r\nrunning a new startup company, OnLine Training, Inc., that provides\r\nG.E.D. preparation courses, continuing education courses for the real\r\nestate and insurance industries, and host distance education courses\r\nfor universities and colleges.\r\n\r\nYou can visit our family home page at\r\nhttp://www.flinet.com/~redding/W6LMJ/\r\n\r\n73 - Terry\r\n\r\nRev: W6LMJ - Tue Jun 9 2:31:50 1998\r\n"

"Callsign": "WA6KBL",
"Bio": "\r\nI have been an amateur radio operator since 1960. I was drawn to VHF\r\nand microwave immediately. I mentored with several RF and microwave\r\nengineers and learned how to modify and tune military and commercial\r\nradios to the ham bands. I then studied RF design and built my own\r\ntransmitters and receivers from scratch. Although I began with tubes, I\r\neventually utilized the very first RF transistors which were Philco\r\ndrift barrier transistors to make a fully solid state 2 meter AM\r\ntransceiver. I became interested in the sound fidelity of FM and built\r\na wideband FM transceiver for 2 meters. I was among the first 3 - 5\r\nhams in Los Angeles to get on FM experimentally. Later, I designed and\r\nbuilt two remote bases/repeaters in Los Angeles.\r\n\r\nI successfully extensively modified a military IFF transponder (APX-6)\r\nto bring it into the 23cm band. With the help of a mentor, I learned\r\nhow to design a dipole feed for a 3 foot parabolic reflector. I was\r\nalso fascinated with even higher frequencies and built several\r\ntransceivers at 10GHz (3cm) using reflex klystrons as the RF source.\r\n\r\n\r\nAlthough I was interested in logging International Broadcast stations\r\nusing my homebrew superregenerative receiver, I did not develop an\r\ninterest in HF DXing on the ham bands until about 1988. I was not\r\npursuing DXCC until I finally put up a HF beam for the first time in\r\n1994. My motivation was to talk to my EME friends in Europe on HF. I\r\nsoon became hooked on DXing and have made many friends around the\r\nworld, some of whom we have visited.\r\n\r\nI am interested in EME and Space Communications and have an array on 2m\r\nand 70cm. I also have a long beam on 6m and enjoy that band very\r\nmuch. I am planning to put up a 5m dish for EME. It will be used on\r\n23cm and also for 10GHz (3cm).\r\n\r\nIn January 1996, I founded a group of technically minded hams called\r\nthe VHF, UHF, and Microwave Experimenters Group. I served as President\r\nfor two years. We eventually changed the name to the 50MHz and Up Group\r\nof Northern California and formally made Bylaws and established it as a\r\nnon-profit scientific and educational research organization. We have\r\nmore than 53 members and meet monthly. All of our Newsletters are\r\navailable on the web at http://www.nitehawk.com/rasmit/50UP.html\r\n\r\n\r\nI am also the owner of Pawlan Communications.\r\n\r\nMy wife, Monica, KQ6PY, finally got her Advanced Class license in\r\n1997.\r\n\r\n73s and I hope to work you\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: WA6KBL - Wed Jul 8 0:28:54 1998\r\n"

Input was well below\r\nthe 75 watts novice maximum. After getting my General Class License in\r\n1954 I quickly upgraded the transmitter with a VFO and two parallel\r\n807's. I later used this rig to drive an old self-converted FM\r\nBroadcast Amplifier using push-pull 100TH's to about 600watts. This rig\r\nfollowed me to California which I sold in 1968.

My main hobbies include flying airplanes,\r\nplaying the guitar, computers, ham radio, electronic swap meets and a\r\nhost of other expensive activities. I have been a private pilot for 15\r\nyears and am currently studying for an Instrument rating. For the past\r\n10 years, I've been working at Sun Microsystems, Inc., as a Technical\r\nManager.\r\n\r\nThe picture above is a recent one of me of me standing in front of an\r\nex-South African Air Force T6 Texan built in 1941. Right after the\r\npicture was taken, it's owner and I took it up for a fine ride (with me\r\nat the controls) where I got my first taste of \"hanging from the\r\nstraps\" as we practiced a few aileron rolls over the Verde River, just\r\neast of Phoenix. The photo was taken at Falcon Field in Mesa, AZ. The\r\naircraft is a real cream puff, despite it's worn paint job. The South\r\nAfricans kept it very up-to-date inside with all of the latest\r\ninstruments, etc. It was flying regularly as an instrument trainer up\r\nuntil 1995. With it's 600 HP engine, the propeller tips actually break\r\nthe sound barrier during takeoff giving quite a roar to the displeasure\r\nof the nearby neighbors.\r\n\r\n\r\nI have had some interesting vacations lately - like when we drove\r\nacross northern Nevada on hiway 50 and were buzzed by a Navy F-18 as\r\nour RV passed through the Fallon NAS bombing range. It was pretty cool\r\n- the F-18 sneaked up from behind (we never heard it coming) and\r\nblasted us with the roar of the twin afterburners full-on as he pulled\r\nup in front of us. He then rolled inverted and popped off three\r\nanti-missle flares - it was a real hoot. No doubt we were his fun for\r\nthe day. I can only imagine what a huge target we must have been on his\r\nradar screen. We immediately pulled off the road and watched him and\r\nseveral other F-18's make a number of low passes, loops, rolls, etc.,\r\nfor more than 1/2 an hour before we continued on our way. As far as I\r\nwas concerned, it was the best part of our vacation.\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: AA7BQ - Sun Jul 12 21:15:24 1998\r\n"

"Bio": "I was born in Morgantown, West Virginia, about 45 years ago. I studied\r\nat West Virginia University. After college, I worked in Northern\r\nVirginia, helping our government roll out all those reports.\r\n\r\nIn 1989, I came to Washington to attend classes at Washington State\r\nUniversity. I spent one year at the university, but continued to live\r\nhere. Im now pretty much settled in as a Spokanite.\r\n\r\nMy wife is the former Karen McCann, and although we have no children,\r\nwe do have three lovely cats that keep us on our toes. You can find\r\nmore information about the family (going back to the 18th century) on\r\nmy home page, http://www.iea.com/~fgrig\r\n\r\nBesides ham radio, I also enjoy playing around with computers and doing\r\na little woodworking. Our house was built in 1899, so I have many\r\nopportunities to work around the house, trying to keep up with\r\neverything that needs repair or replacement. We have a small lot, but\r\nIve managed to cram in two dwarf fruit trees, a decent raspberry patch,\r\nand a fair amount of tomato plants each year.\r\n\r\nI first became involved with radio by listening to shortwave\r\nbroadcasts. After several years of listening, I finally taught myself\r\nMorse code and took the novice exam. I bought a 40-meter transceiver\r\nkit from Roy Gregson, W6EMT, and hooked it up to a dipole antenna. I\r\nhighly recommend Roys kits; you can get more information at his web\r\npage, http://pages.prodigy.net/roygregson/\r\n\r\nOver the past year, I have dragged my dipole a little higher every few\r\nweeks, moving it from about ten feet off the ground to about 35. I\r\nfinally have it completely above the house and not touching any tree\r\nbranches or the roof. With my little 5-watt transceiver, I can\r\nregularly contact stations in the western states, and I hope to make\r\nW.A.S. with it eventually.\r\n\r\nAfter I got my novice license, I worked on my code speed and studied\r\nthe theory so I could upgrade to general. A couple months later, I\r\nupgraded again to advanced. I finally got my code speed up to 20 wpm,\r\nso now Ive got an Extra class license.\r\n\r\nI think its funny that people complain about the code requirement for\r\nlicense upgrades. I only use CW and dont expect to use any other\r\nmodes, but I went ahead and studied for the license tests with all\r\ntheir questions about television and packet and repeater operation.\r\nIts just part of the program, and we just need to reconcile ourselves\r\nto it. If I can pass a written test about fast-scan TV so I can get\r\ngreater CW privileges, the fast-scan TV fans should be able to learn a\r\nlittle Morse code.\r\n\r\nIf youre tuned up to the 40-meter band, especially in the novice\r\nportion, be sure to listen for CQ CQ CQ DE AB7YT. Ill be happy to hear\r\nfrom you!\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: AB7YT - Sat Aug 15 9:51:10 1998\r\n"

Being\r\ninfected by my father (then Y25AO), DL7VOB, I learned this hobby from\r\nhim, Roy, DL7UBA, and Bob, DJ0XC. While working from DJ0XC's QTH I soon\r\nrealized what the true challenge: DX and Contesting. So I decided to\r\nparticipate in the major contests and to conduct my first DXpedition in\r\n1991 as HB0/Y24AO. Returning to Liechtenstein as HB0/DL7VOA in 1993 I\r\nlogged some 6500 QSOs in about one week and realized how important pile\r\nups can be.... My last DXpedition took me to the Island of Rhodos\r\nwhere I operated as SV5/DL7VOA.\r\n\r\nIn 1996 I decided to study Media Economics at the Technical University\r\nin Ilmenau and since then I am operating also as DF0HQ in the major\r\ncontests respectively as DA0HQ during the IARU HF World Championship in\r\nmid-July. My favourite bands are the lowbands and therefore you may\r\nfind me operating the 40m CW station of DA0HQ together with Dietmar,\r\nDL3DXX.\r\n\r\nSince 1993 I am translating the DX Newsletter from the German into the\r\nEnglish language and distribute this DX bulletin worldwide via packet\r\nradio and the internet. Another part I took over is being one of two\r\nwebmasters for the DARC DX and HF Contesting Committee. Please visit\r\nalso: http://www.darc.de/referate/dx\r\n\r\nUntil now I have 303 countries worked and a few less confirmed.\r\nPutting all my emphasis on the studies I am now operating only when\r\nmajor contests are happening or if a new one appears. I know this is\r\nnot very desirable but time is flowing and my problems stay. So first\r\nof all I do all my stuff and then I take care of my hobbies.\r\n\r\nWhen talking about my hobbies I must not forget to name my other\r\nhobbies like motorsports (Indy Cars, Formula 1, GT Cars), computer and\r\nWOMEN, of course.\r\n\r\nDid you get to know what you wanted to know?

( http://www.ja7yaa.org.tohoku.ac.jp ). Please\r\nremember that Yagi-Uda beam antenna (Yagi antenna for short) which has\r\nbeen very popular for radio communication was invented at Tohoku Univ.\r\nby the late Profs Yagi and Uda in 1926. All the members of the club\r\nare proud of it.\r\n\r\n1978 graduated from Department of Precision Engineering, Tohoku Univ.\r\nand joined Japan Metals and Chemicals Co., Ltd., which is the first and\r\nthe largest geothermal developer in Japan, as a geothermal development\r\nengineer, then moved to Iwate where the first geothermal power\r\ngeneration in Japan was started in Matsukawa in 1966 (\r\nhttp://www.isop.ne.jp/geo-e/ ).\r\n\r\n1979 obtained the new call sign JR7HAN, but could not build an\r\nantenna due to the housing problem, thus QRT after some CW QSOs on\r\n40m.\r\n\r\n1993 obtained Ph.D. degree in geothermal reservoir engineering from\r\nTohoku Univ. which is one of the centers of geothermal studies in the\r\nworld.\r\n\r\n1996 resumed ham radio as JR7HAN with antennas on the top of the\r\nroof, thus able to QRV on most HF bands with QRP and/or 100W.\r\n\r\nFavorites: I like chats by CW and/or SSB with QRP and/or low power,\r\nbecause I know how energy development is difficult in Japan.

"Bio": "I was interested in Amateur Radio during high school at the age of 16.\r\nI had a couple of close freinds that were Hams, one was a classmate and\r\none was a young married guy. Both were eager to show off their\r\nstations to me when I asked them and that sparked the interest in the\r\nhobby and electronics. I went to a General class operator and asked\r\nhim to give me the Novice test, (that was how it was done then; a\r\nGeneral or above could give a Novice test, but all other licensing was\r\ndone at the FCC Field Office). I passed the 5 wpm code test but failed\r\nthe Novice written test. I didn't try anymore at that time.\r\n\r\nI joined the Navy in 1965, right after high school, and immersed myself\r\nin my new career. I really liked the Navy and after only a couple of\r\nyears on active duty, decided to make it my profession.\r\n\r\nIn 1978, I was stationed aboard the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, a\r\nneuclear powered aircraft carrier, and found Ham Radio appealing\r\nagain. This time I really buckled down and learned the code and\r\nstudied the theory. I was an electronics technician by that time, so\r\nthe theory was fairly easy for me to remember. I went to the Norfolk\r\nFCC Field Office and took the 5 wpm code test and the General theory\r\ntest and was awarded a Technician Class license. My first call sign was\r\nN4BLI. I really worked at getting my code speed up but never could get\r\npast 10 wpm I worked at it off and on for 13 years until 1991.\r\nDuring that time I moved to California and then to Utah changing call\r\nsigns a couple of times. In California I was N6DPJ and in Utah I was\r\nN7DSW.\r\n\r\nBy 1991 I had retired from the Navy after being on active duty for over\r\n20 years and wanted more from Ham Radio than to just be able to use VHF\r\nand above. So once again, I really buckled down and learned the code\r\nagain and practiced and practiced and practiced at getting up to 13 -\r\n15 wpm, went and took the test. That made me a General.

I have had K7GT since fall 1977. My\r\nfamily and I have been in Pleasanton CA for 15 years. We eventually\r\nhope to return to Oregon for some retirement years, so I kept the\r\ncall. Besides, it is a superb CW call!! My amateur activity has taken\r\na back seat to raising our family for most of those 40 years since I\r\ngot my license, but as the children are grown there is more time now!\r\n\r\nI have been considerably more active since 1994, at which time I got a\r\npermit from the city and put up a 5 el 40m sloper array. What an\r\nantenna! Too bad it had wires everywhere when cranked down. The\r\ncurrent antenna is a multiband vertical for convenience. I recently\r\nreceived DXCC for both 40M and CW, a goal that was inspired by a card\r\nreceived from JA8LN many years ago in the early 60s. No, it wasn't done\r\nQRP, although I have about 10 confirmed on 40 with 2W. I enjoy\r\noperating portable and QRP power levels lend themselves well to that,\r\nbut am most definitely not a QRP purist.\r\n\r\nI attended Brigham Young University in the late 60s, getting a degree\r\nin Physics. I also did graduate work in mathematical physics at both\r\nSouthern Oregon university and the University of Denver. Never did get\r\nthat PhD in physics, though. I do enjoy both teaching math at the local\r\njunior college and my full time job at the Lawrence Livermore National\r\nLab in their computational math/science department. Enough of work.\r\nBack to radio and other fun topics!\r\n\r\nOne of my amateur radio pastimes is collecting grid square QSLs,\r\nworldwide, on HF. There is an award from the JARL (called WASA) for\r\nthose and I may actually apply someday. But in the meantime I a having\r\na blast. Filing QSLs by grid square tends to show you how closely\r\nintertied we all are here on the Blue Planet.\r\n\r\nLook for me mostly on 40cw, but of late also on 30 and 20m. I can also\r\nbe found on 15 or 10 when using the club station here at work over\r\nlunchhour. I am getting into contesting, although no competition for\r\nN6TR yet. I have started a contesting club with a call sign that is\r\nfairly good: AE6TT.

But I'm not finished yet. I WILL\r\nget to 20 wpm and that Extra license (have already passed the written\r\nportion). I support the ARRL and as a lawyer, I understand the great\r\nneed for such an organization to lobby for preservation of the amateur\r\nbands. I enjoy using amateur radio for community service activities\r\nand have wonderful memories of my experiences with MARS as N0WEX. As\r\nof this date, July 1998, my rig consists of a Kenwood TS-570S feeding a\r\nCushcraft R-7000 and a Cushcraft AR-6 vertical. On 2 meters, I use an\r\nICOM IC-2000H to load a Diamond V2000A. When mobile, I run a Standard\r\nC-5900DA with a Diamond CR-627. Married with two sons, Scott, age 23,\r\na junior at West Virginia University studying computer engineering and\r\nMichael, age 19, starting college in August, 1998. Ruth Ann, my YL for\r\nover 28 years, teaches second grade in our hometown of Lancaster, CA.\r\nMy day job is environmental law for the US Air Force at Edwards AFB,\r\nCA. Haven't figured out how to make my hobby interests produce enough\r\nto live on, so for now, I'll keep \"protecting the bugs and bunnies\"\r\nwhile also preserving, protecting and defending the Air Force mission.\r\nLook forward to the on-the-air fraternity that is amateur radio. 73 to\r\nall and remember, sometimes even the OMs are novices again.

I\r\nlive in a two story cabin in the forest with a wondrous view of the\r\n100-foot waterfall, which can be seen right in front of my home.\r\n\r\nPersonal Credentials: I can only say that I've been a Police Officer,\r\nand a Deputy Sheriff. I was in the Armed Forces on active duty at Los\r\nAlamitos Naval Air Station, where I served my three-year term in their\r\nSecurity Division. I've done quite a bit of flying in various light\r\naircraft, and I have a valid Commercial Pilot license.\r\n\r\nI became an Amateur Radio Operator about four years ago, and have made\r\nsome very interesting contacts. One of which was \"really out of this\r\nworld\"! Using my 2 meter radio on only 5 watts of power, I made one\r\nunforgettable contact. At precisely 9:49 PM on Wednesday September 12,\r\n1994, I made actual voice contact with one of our US Astronauts, \"Susan\r\nHelms\", while she was in outer space. She was aboard the Space Shuttle\r\n\"Discovery\", 283.5 miles into space while orbiting the earth at around\r\n16,000 miles an hour. Needless to say, it was a very exciting moment in\r\nmy life.\r\n\r\nFrom my cabin in a remote place in the woods, I was making a few\r\ncontacts on my HF radio using a 12-volt car battery. After finishing a\r\nQSO with a guy in Florida, I \"received\" a call from another guy named\r\nJohn, which took me by complete surprise.

He\r\nfurther added that he was at an altitude of 37,000 feet and 300 miles\r\neast of Billings Montana. His destination was the state of New Jersey\r\non the US East Coast.

I hope this proves how prepared I\r\nam.\r\n\r\nI am a new member to the Civil Air Patrol. I am training to be a\r\nTransport Mission Pilot. In the mean time, I will be just a CAP\r\npilot. When I start flying missions, I will also start carrying a\r\nsurvival kit in my car for anytime I get called out for a mission.\r\n\r\nI only have a year left of school (expect to graduate in May 1999). I\r\nwill then be going where the jobs are. Wherever I end up, I hope I'll\r\nbe able to get involved with the local amateur radio clubs and\r\nemergency groups, along with Civil Air Patrol squadrons.\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: KC7UNK - Sat Aug 8 9:15:04 1998\r\n"

"Bio": "I was born in Morgantown, West Virginia about 45 years ago. I studied\r\nat West Virginia University and then worked in Northern Virginia,\r\nhelping our government roll out all those reports it produces.\r\n\r\nIn 1989, I came west to attend Washington State University. I only\r\nspent one year at the university, but continued to live here. Im now\r\npretty much settled in as a Spokanite.\r\n\r\nMy wife is the former Karen McCann; we have no children, but we do have\r\nthree lovely cats that keep us on our toes. You can find more about\r\nthe family (going back to the 18th century) on my home page,\r\nhttp://www.iea.com/~fgrig\r\n\r\nBesides ham radio, I also enjoy playing with computers and doing a\r\nlittle woodworking. Our house was built in 1899, so I have many\r\nopportunities to work around the house, trying to keep up with\r\neverything that needs repair or replacement. We have a small lot, but\r\nIve managed to cram in two dwarf fruit trees, a decent raspberry patch,\r\nand a fair amount of tomato plants.\r\n\r\nI first became involved with radio by listening to shortwave\r\nbroadcasts. After several years of listening, I finally taught myself\r\nMorse code and took the novice exam. I bought a 40-meter transceiver\r\nkit from Roy Gregson, W6EMT, and hooked it up to a dipole antenna. I\r\nhighly recommend Roys kits; you can get more information at his web\r\npage, http://pages.prodigy.net/roygregson/\r\n\r\nOver the past year, I have dragged my dipole a little higher every few\r\nweeks, moving it from about ten feet off the ground to about 35. I\r\nfinally have it completely above the house and not touching any tree\r\nbranches. With my little 5-watt transceiver, I can regularly contact\r\nstations in the western states, and occasionally those farther east. I\r\nhope to make W.A.S. eventually.\r\n\r\nAfter I got my novice license, I worked on my code speed and studied\r\nthe theory so I could upgrade to general. A couple months later, I\r\nupgraded to advanced. Right now, Im working hard on getting that code\r\nspeed up to 20 wpm so I can make that final upgrade.\r\n\r\nI think its funny that people complain about the code requirement for\r\nupgrades. I only use CW and dont expect to use any other modes, but I\r\ngo ahead and study for the tests with all their questions about\r\ntelevision and packet and repeater operation. Its just part of the\r\nprogram, and we just need to reconcile ourselves to it. If I can pass\r\na written test about TV so I can get greater CW privileges, the TV fans\r\nshould be able to learn a little code.\r\n\r\nIf youre tuned up to the 40-meter band, especially in the novice\r\nportion, be sure to listen for CQ CQ CQ DE KC7YYR. Ill be happy to\r\nhear from you!\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: KC7YYR - Sat Jun 27 9:49:35 1998\r\n"

I obtained WAS and did a bit of CW traffic handling before\r\nsuccumbing to adolescence and losing interest in radio.\r\n\r\nAfter an extended period of inactivity, and while teaching science in a\r\nSouthern California high school, a student asked me to sponsor an\r\namateur radio club. In an attempt to stay one step ahead of my\r\nstudents, I became first N6VRK, then KK6EB and finally AA6UL. One\r\nChristmas vacation, I built a Ramsey 40m cw QRP transmitter into a\r\ncoffee can, and in the early Spring, I worked Bob Spidel, W6SKQ. He\r\ninvited me to attend a Zuni Loop Field Day. I did. The heavens opened,\r\nthe scales fell from my eyes, and my interest in QRP gelled.\r\n\r\nWith the encouragement and assistance of the great Zuni Loop gang, the\r\nwonderful folks in Norcal and the KnightLites, and all the helpful\r\ndenizens of the QRP-L internet group, I have built and now operate a\r\ncollection of QRP gear including the 38 Special for 30m cw, the SW-40+\r\nfor 40m cw, the Centennial for 80m ssb, the T2/R2 combo set up for 40m\r\nssb, the White Mountain 20m ssb rig, the OHR Classic for 20/40m cw, the\r\nOHR HP dc rig for 80m cw and also the KnightSmite surface-mount\r\nmilliwatt 80m cw rig. I also operate a very simple 40m dsb xcvr built\r\nfor the Norcal 2N2222 design competition.\r\n\r\nWhen vanity calls became available, I couldn't resist the lure of of a\r\n1X2 call.

Operated 160 meter AM mobile\r\nwith a homebrew 12AU7 12 watt transmitter power driven from a\r\ndyna-motor, and utilized the car's AM broadcast radio detuned to 1.8\r\nMhz. Mobile antenna was a homebrew center load vertical.\r\n\r\nWhile in the US Army I operated from Viet Nam during 1968-1969 from 9th\r\nInfantry Division Army MARS stations AB8AU and AB8AZ, running\r\nphone-patches to the US.

Around the age of\r\nnine, I discovered Shortwave Radio Listening, when I got ahold of my\r\nparents' Sony portable shortwave/longwave/fm/am receiver. Amazing\r\nsounds and exotic stations struck my fancy as I tuned around on the\r\ndial. Soon, I would find myself listening to the time signals on WWV,\r\nnews broadcasts from the BBC, and cultural shows from Radio South\r\nAfrica, Radio Canada Internation, HCJB, and Radio Australia, to name\r\njust a few stations.\r\n\r\nAt about the same time, I began to look for books on electronics and\r\nradio (tubes, electricity, and that sort of thing). My folks even\r\nbought me electronic kits.\r\n\r\nBut it was not until after I did a tour with the Military that I\r\nfinally became a licensed Radio Amateur. Now, not only can I listen, I\r\nnow can carry on conversations with people living all over the world.\r\n\r\nCurrently, I am a single father raising two sons. They also are\r\ninterested in Shortwave and in Ham Radio. This is a great hobby for\r\nthe whole family to be involved in. Geography, Social Studies,\r\nScience, etc. -- these are the educational benefits of this great\r\nactivity we share.\r\n\r\nCome visit my homepage.

I attended both Sylvan and West Sylvan Elementary School\r\nbefore my father was transferred to Seattle, where I attended Nathen\r\nEckstein Jr. High, and eventually graduated from Roosevelt High in\r\n1959.\r\n\r\nWhen I was still in Portland, I became fasinated with astronomy along\r\nwith my brother, Mike. We learned all the constellations, planets, and\r\nused a small spotting telescope given to us by my father. After the\r\nmove to Seattle, I joined the Seattle Astronomical Society, and later\r\nbecame its president at the young age of 19. It was also through the\r\nhelp of my father, that I became acquainted with amateur radio. One of\r\nmy father's friends, Mr. Sid Lough (W7VL, and still living), got me to\r\nstudy and pass my novice test, and I became WN7FTT. I later upgraded\r\nto Technician as W7FTT.\r\n\r\nAfter working for the Seattle branch of the Bank of California as a\r\nmessenger, I spent 6 months active duty with the US Army, then became\r\nthe lead technical guide for the NASA exhibit at the Seattle World's\r\nFair. It was from there I obtained my current 36 year job with JPL,\r\nnow as resident astronomer at the Table Mountain Observatory. My main\r\nstudy at the observatory has been comets and asteroids. Because of my\r\nlong standing contributions to this area, I was honored with the naming\r\nof asteroid #2874 as 'Jim Young'. I am currently in charge of the 0.6\r\nmeter telescope facility, as well as all optical alignment and mirror\r\ncoating for four telescopes.\r\n\r\nI am the Net Administrator/Secretary/Awards Manager for the Triple H\r\nNet, a life member of ARRL, HIDXA, and QCWA, as well as an OO for the\r\nARRL.\r\n\r\nI was married in 1962 to Frances Jean FISHER of Duvall, Washington, and\r\nwe had two children, Jeffrey (1966), and Jennifer (1967). Although\r\nFrances and I divorced in 1974, we are still very close, especially\r\nbecause of the 5 grandchildren (three from Jeffrey and Stephanie, and\r\ntwo from Jennifer and Todd).\r\n\r\nIn 1975 I married Karen Ann HALBERG (N6PJL), and we raised Bryan and\r\nEileen. Eileen and Ed gave us our 6th grandchild, and only recently\r\nBryan married Teresa STROMAN. Karen is a science and math teacher at\r\nSerrano High in Phelan, California. She is also a Research Affiliate\r\nwith JPL, and works at Table Mountain with the 0.6 meter telescope with\r\nJPL's Navigation Team as time permits.\r\n\r\nMy other loves are, grandchildren (naturally), photography, camping,\r\nmountain climbing (Mt.

"Bio": "Ham Radio and RF Power! (see bottom of bio) Well, it's been a large\r\npart of my life since I was first licensed at age 13. I was born and\r\nraised in Chicago and my first call was WN9JFO. I really enjoyed my\r\nNovice experience and had a real ball working nothing but CW for the\r\nfirst two years. Boy was that first station made of JUNK! I had a\r\nKnight T-60 (which worked quite well) and a Gonset GR-211 rcvr (which\r\nyou could fine tune by getting your hand CLOSE to the knob!) and a\r\nhomebrew antenna tuner with a 100 foot longwire at about 35 feet high.\r\nAfter 7 months as a Novice I upgraded to General and then quickly to\r\nAdvanced. I got my first electronics job in TV repair at age 15. I then\r\nworked at a commercial two-way shop named Ericksons Electronics which\r\nwas owned by Ero Erickson, a longtime Ham. I then got a job for a\r\nlarger two-way shop (Metrocom) and then for Spectronics which was a Ham\r\nstore in a near Chicago suburb. I came to Cailfornia in 1980 and got\r\nmy extra with the callsign of KV6I. My two-way radio shop I started in\r\n1982 in my bedroom and then garage and then to a real shop. Portable\r\nClinic has remained a stable small sized two-way shop serving LA. I\r\ntook advantage of Electronic filing on the very first day of the vanity\r\ncallsign program and got W7RF as my first choice! I am on the air\r\nalmost every day and am an active DXer and contester. My association\r\nwith HENRY RADIO is a long one and started when I got to LA in 1980.\r\nMany Hams remember the days when you could go to HENRY and see all\r\nkinds of wonderful gear on the racks. Collins, Drake, Heathkit, etc.\r\nThey have been making amplifiers since 1962 with many of those amps\r\nSTILL in service! Recently I signed an agreement to handle the sales\r\nand marketing of the HENRY AMPLIFIERS (and they make hundreds of\r\ndifferent types for many different services). HENRY amps are unlike ANY\r\nothers as they still insist on using the absolute finest parts\r\navailable. The design has not been cheapened as other makers have done.\r\nHENRY remains today as ONLY Ham Amplifier Manufacturer to still use a\r\nchoke input filter and a true transmitting type oil filled capacitor. A\r\nHENRY made roller inductor is used in EVERY model of HAM HF tube amp\r\nthey make. If HENRY didn't make many of it's own parts the cost would\r\nbe prohibitive. I guess that's why you don't find these high quality\r\nparts in the other guys amps! It's truly a labor of love as there is\r\nnothing I enjoy more than helping my fellow brothers and sisters in Ham\r\nRadio!

The first introduction\r\nto radio was when I was about 7 years old. I remember my father getting\r\na new valve radio which ran on a wet and dry battery . Well I was\r\nreally fascinated when I heard all the sounds coming from it !! Then\r\none Sunday morning while my mother and father were gone to Church AND\r\nof coarse my brother who is 7 years older than I was supposed to be\r\nlooking after me but he was more interested in a young lady which lived\r\nup the road from us, So when I got the chance I duly got a knife and\r\nopened the back of the radio to see if I could find the little people\r\nthat were doing all the talking in there. I even took out the valves to\r\nsee if there was anyone in there Hi Hi.. Well anyway I got the radio\r\nback toghether and all was fine till my father turned it on and of\r\ncourse there was a fizzzzle and silence. Well at that I went into\r\nhiding and my father was furious because the radio was only 1 month\r\nold. So next day he brought it back to the shop and was asked to call\r\nback for it a few days later.. OOooohhh boy !! when he came home from\r\nwork that evening with a new radio !! you guessed it !! the big\r\nquestion was who did it !! Well anyway in the finish I had to admit to\r\nit.

I also held callsigns of WA8QHS and KG8F.\r\nMy new call was just issued in Nov, 1996 as K8DK.The DK stands for my\r\ninitials.The first piece of amateur equipment I built was a tube type\r\nkeyer for cw. I am still very interested in cw and I think it should be\r\npart of the amateur exam. I have tried all modes of operation. Radio\r\nteletype, Packet, Wefax, Amateur Television, Single Sideband, AM, FM,\r\nMoonbounce, and Amateur Satellites. Satellites have really caught my\r\ninterest. My radio equipment, Yaesue 847, Computer, Pentium-166, and\r\nantenna, M2 22 ele. 2 Mtr and 36 ele. 440 Mhz, are all interfaced\r\ntogether with a Kansas City Tracker/Tuner card for hands free\r\noperation. This system using Wisp software from Amsat allows the\r\ncomputer to point the antennas, change the radio's frequency and\r\ncontrols the PK-96 Tnc for automatic operation on 9600 baud packsats.\r\nYou can view my web page at: http://members.home.net/dougk\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: K8DK - Sat Jun 27 13:36:54 1998\r\n"

"Callsign": "K8NY",
"Bio": "August, 1998\r\n\r\nI was first licensed in 1960 as WV2KBU in Brooklyn NY at the age of\r\n14. Operating from my small room in a Brooklyn tenement and using a\r\n40M dipole, I was able to work many states both on 40 and 15 meter CW.\r\nThe same year, after many contacts on CW and bringing my code speed up,\r\nI passed my General Class test and became WA2KBU. I was now able to use\r\n'phone' and was elated at the SSB contacts I made throughout the\r\nworld. After entering the work force in mid 1960's I landed a job with\r\nNY Telephone Co. as an Installer/Repairman in Manhattan. Somewhat later\r\nI joined the US Marine Corps and, upon completion of my tour of duty, I\r\nrejoined the telephone company. My sweetheart, Sallie, and I were\r\nmarried in 1967 and moved to Suffolk County NY in 1968. I was fortunate\r\nto continue my education and attend the local university and at this\r\ntime I was able to reconstruct my ham station. While I was involved\r\nattending school, I was offered a position from Xerox Corp. as a copier\r\ntechnician.\r\n\r\nThe year 1970 brought two wonderful surprises for Sallie and me. Our\r\nfirst child Elisa was born in January and then our second, Robert, was\r\nborn in November. With two little ones running around there wasn't much\r\ntime for hamming although I was able to finally build some new gear\r\n(Heathhkit twins)and install my first tower with a triband beam and\r\nupgrade my ticket to Advanced. 1975 brought our third child, Jeanne,\r\nand even less time for hamming as money was tight and overtime was\r\nplenty.\r\n\r\nIn 1979 I was promoted to technical instructor and transferred to the\r\nXerox Training Center in Leesburg, VA. We took up residence in nearby\r\nCharles Town, WV and went on with the Godly process of raising our\r\nthree children. The year 1980 saw me and my family dedicate our lives\r\nto Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. This marked a profound change in\r\nour lives and continues to this day. Since God, family and church took\r\ncenter stage in our lives, the only hamming I was able to do was\r\noperate on 2 meters.\r\n\r\nSince then the children have grown, left the nest and have lives of\r\ntheir own. Sallie and I still dedicate time to our church and our\r\ncommitment to the Lord but now have a bit more time on our hands. We\r\nhave and continue to travel internationally as well as do some green\r\nthumbing and pursue other hobbies. I'm now able to spend a bit more\r\ntime with \"king of hobbies\" and have recently started construction of a\r\nnew HF and VHF station in Summit Point, WV and have upgraded my ticket\r\nto Extra.\r\n\r\nWell that's about it, hope to meet you one day, 'down the log'.\r\n\r\nBob, K8NY formerly WA2KBU\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: K8NY - Sat Aug 29 19:23:50 1998\r\n"

For various reasons through the years,\r\nI never went for a test. As some older hams would know, before the rule\r\nchanges you had to go to a FCC Field Office for all tests except for\r\nNovice. One day I decided to do most of those things I always wanted to\r\nand would not let myself or anyone else make an excuse for not doing\r\nit. With the help of the local Triangle Amateur Radio Club (TARC) , I\r\ntook a quick brush-up on the code and looked at the new rules and\r\npassed my novice test 3 days later. Then my Tech at a VE test session\r\nthat weekend. I have been a General now since July of 90. I think now I\r\nuse the excuse of being too involved with all this stuff to have time\r\nto test on.\r\n\r\nLike Most of us \"HAMS\" I went full bore in to these technologies. My\r\nfirst year ventures included packet, rtty, fax, sstv and voice DX. I\r\nbecome involved in the local club and later I started the local areas\r\nfirst full service Packet BBS with some help from KC8JN - Greg, that I\r\nmanaged to keep on the air for nearly 5 years using the W0RLI Packet\r\nBBS on a G8BPQ node (these two guys along with others deserve much\r\ncredit for advancing Amateur Digital Communications in their time). I\r\nJoined the Air Force M.A.R.S. program with the help of K8HGY (AFA1MH) -\r\nRich in 1993.\r\n\r\nI became involved in the local club repeater which really got all the\r\nwheels turning in that empty space between the ears. I later installed\r\nmy own 220 repeater (224.66 - ) early in '94 and more recently a 6\r\nmeter repeater (53.09 -1m) in the area and continued to learn and fill\r\nthat space between the ears (plenty of room for more).\r\n\r\nMy current Amateur \"goings-on\", other than trying to keep up with the\r\nclubs' and my repeaters and all this computer junk, include ATV with my\r\npal N8YPL - Bob, whenever we can, and advancing the repeater controller\r\nsoftware I started writing from a scratch experiment.\r\n\r\n73\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: KB8JNM - Sat Jun 27 12:53:46 1998\r\n"

I also enjoy improvising at music and computer\r\nkeyboards, stargazing, contemplating this strange miracle of sentient\r\nexistence, and communicating with other sentient beings by every\r\nmeans. I am running a 100% solar-powered body, using plants and dairy\r\nproducts as energy transducers.\r\n\r\nI am also running an entirely solar-powered station using a 40 watt\r\nphotovoltaic panel on the south roof connected to a 125 amp/hour deep\r\ncycle battery. My station includes a Yaesu FT757GX, a TAC 1 40 meter\r\nQRP transceiver, a Ten-Tec 1208 transverter for 6 meters, an Alinco\r\nDR610T, Kantronics KPC-3, MFJ 949E ATU, OHR WM-1 QRP wattmeter, Radio\r\nShack DSP, Bencher keyer/paddles, and Nye and Bencher straight keys. My\r\nantenna farm on this rental one-story twinplex includes a center-loaded\r\n80 meter inverted vee 20'-30'-20' ends east-west transmogrified into a\r\n3D horizontal loop with the addition of 78 feet of wire running\r\nnorthward to a 25' high tree branch, all fed with ladder line to 4:1\r\ncurrent balun hanging outside the shack; a Par Omni-Angle 6 meter omni\r\nup 30'; a Comet GP-9 up 35' at the base; 4-element 6 meter Bandmaster\r\nquad up 30' and turned with an Archerotor; and a DC-daylight vertical\r\ndipole for the Realistic 2006 scanner. I like to ragchew on SSB, FM and\r\nCW using the least amount of power necessary to maintain Q5 copy--call\r\nme strange, but I really don't want to produce RFI and splatter just to\r\nhave the fashionable \"big signal\". I've found that I don't need much\r\npower to work the stations I hear, domestic and DX; 100mW-100W is\r\nplenty, and I can stay on the air at those power levels indefinitely,\r\nindependent of the commercial power grid, powered by sunlight alone.\r\n\r\nWe get tornadoes and serious weather around here, and I participate in\r\nLorain County Skywarn when the weather gets ugly. My local club's web\r\npage is www.qsl.net/lcara\r\n\r\nThe Amateur bands are RF preserves, magical jump gates to distant\r\nplaces, open to all who would respect the rules of the preserves and of\r\nelectromagnetic energy. We can visit the preserves anytime we want, for\r\nfree, visiting in fancy high-power RF RVs (if we have lots of\r\ndisposable income as First Worlders of privilege) or as RF backpackers\r\nand primitive campers. The primitive campers and backpackers in the RF\r\npreserves understand, respect and cherish the RF preserves best, as\r\nthey get close to them during their visits.

"Bio": "Congratulations! For whatever reason, you have stumbled across the\r\ncallsign of The Flying Beers International ARC! Since you're here,\r\nyou're probably wondering who the heck we are and what we stand for?\r\nWell, here's a short biography or our organization: Formed in 1988,\r\nThe Flying Beers consists of a rather diverse group of amateurs from\r\nlocations throughout North America, who assembled together out of a\r\nlove for ham radio, and, you guessed it, beer! But it goes deeper than\r\nthat. Many of the \"Beers\" are hams who were and/or are, shall we say,\r\nunimpressed with the drudgery of radio club politics. Out of that\r\nattitude, the Flying Beers is essentially a \"non-club\" group. We have\r\nno official charter, we charge no dues, we have no elections. The club\r\nhierarchy is essentially a dictatorship, although with no rules to\r\nenforce our titles serve only as a means to impress the ladies. For\r\nexample, I have been declared The Imperial Potentate, a title which has\r\nprovided me with many enjoyable romantic encounters! We do sponsor\r\nspecial events from time to time. On this page you'll find a photo of\r\nsome of our members which was taken during our \"Hams On Ice\"\r\nextravaganza, February 3, 1990. We also regularly assemble teams for\r\nARRL Field Day and other contests throughout the year. On very special\r\noccasions we also stage what have come to be known as \"Beerfests\";\r\nsince we have no official meetings, when we get together we've been\r\nknown to hoist a few pints and enjoy each other's company in a party\r\natmosphere. If you're journeys in live bring you to the Detroit Area,\r\nbe sure to call the \"Beers\" on 146.505 simplex, or on our repeater,\r\n442.600. If you're interested in becoming a \"Beer\", stop in at our\r\nhomepage www.flyingbeers.org or email us at kc8krz@flyingbeers.org\r\nThanks for visiting and 73! from The Flying Beers International!\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: KC8KRZ - Fri Aug 14 15:49:12 1998\r\n"

"Bio": "I have been a ham since the summer of 94.\r\n\r\nAmateur radio is one of my two favorite hobbies. My other favorite\r\nhobby is the outdoors. Camping, fishing, canoeing hunting etc....\r\nSometimes I will combine the two hobbies and take my radios to the\r\noutdoors with me. So you might catch me operating from a cabin or tent\r\nout in the woods. My favorite mode is cw and thats where I spend most\r\nof my operating time. Most of my operating is done in the early evening\r\non weeknights (about 22:00 through 02:00 UTC), or off and on all day on\r\nweekends (when I'm not mowing the lawn or something hi hi). Even\r\nthough cw is my favorite mode, I still enjoy SSB and FM as well. I\r\nlike to mostly ragchew and do very little contesting. Although I like\r\nto work all bands between 40 through 10 meters including the WARC\r\nbands, the most common places to find me on the cw bands are between\r\n7.030 through 7.060 or anywhere on 30 meters. Most of my cw is\r\ngenerated on a set of Bencher paddles, but I still like to do an\r\noccasional straight key ragchew as well, especially when operating QRP\r\n(If you feel like working a little cw, with keyer or hand keys, feel\r\nfree to send me an e-mail so we can set up a sked).\r\n\r\nWhen I feel like doing some phone, I usually go to 20 meters or, if you\r\nhappen to be in the Detroit area, look for me on 146.550 simplex. That\r\nis where I do most of my local stuff.\r\n\r\nThe equipment in my shack includes a Yaesu Ft-840, and Kenwood Ts-50s\r\nfor my primary HF rigs. I picked these rigs because of their\r\nversaitility. They can be used for base, mobile or portable operations\r\nquite easily. I also have a Radio Shack HTX-100 for 10 meters and an\r\nMFJ 9040 for QRP work.\r\n\r\nFor VHF, I use a Radio Shack HTX-212 mobile and HTX 202 handheld.\r\n\r\n\r\nIf you hear me on the air, give me a shout.\r\n\r\n\r\nChuck KG8ZH\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: KG8ZH - Mon Jun 29 12:05:00 1998\r\n"

I was hooked.\r\nI spent the next 7 years on and off with radio, trying to learn the\r\ncode but was never that successful on my own.

She in turn\r\nreferred me to a guy named Jerry Murphy, K8YUW.

"Bio": "I was bitten by the Ham Radio bug at a tender age, perhaps 13 or 14\r\nwhen I got my first Allied Radio catalog. I found a Knight Kit called\r\nthe Ocean Hopper and begged my family to buy it for me. I got it\r\nworking, finally, and it ended up being my first receiver that I put to\r\nuse on the 40 Meter Novice band along with a cigar box oscillator\r\nrunning a 6AQ5 just a couple years later. Somehow, the stuttering of\r\nmy Morse Code convinced me that WA8HHH would sound better over a\r\nmicrophone than from my poor fist. I discovered The Magic Band courtesy\r\nof a Lafayette HE-45b that I got for high school graduation and there\r\nwas no looking back. Kept my Technician license until about 1974 and\r\nthen upgraded to Advanced. Still loved VHF. Always will.\r\n\r\n\r\nCaught up in the Viet Nam era, I somehow managed to miss my all expense\r\npaid trip there by one week. That's another story. Suffice to say I\r\nended up in Oberursel, Germany where I set up a station as DC0AH on 2\r\nMeters. While the US hams were getting their feet wet with crystal\r\ncontrolled FM, my German friends and I were playing with PTO tuned VHF\r\nSSB (SSB Semco and 2G70B rigs), grid hunting, balloon launched\r\ntransponders, and big antennas. This was 1970-71. Came home and just\r\nhad to have a SSB rig on 6. Found an R. L. Drake TR-6 and it has been\r\nonward and upward ever since. My only regret is that I no longer have\r\nthat trusty TR-6.\r\n\r\n\r\nOff the radio I spend my time doing production control type things,\r\ncurrently with the special machine builder/integrator, Comau North\r\nAmerica in Auburn Hills, Michigan. We specialize in assembly systems,\r\nbody welding systems and robotics. Comau is an international company\r\nbased in Italy; however, our division's major customer, especially with\r\nproximity to Detroit is the automotive industry. I hold APICS CPIM and\r\nCIRM certifications which mean I'm supposed to know something about my\r\nprofession according to The American Production and Inventory Control\r\nSociety. I have worked in the aerospace and defense, special machine\r\n(metal removal and induction heating), railcar, and consumer goods\r\nindustries. I like the job shop environment and MRP II computer\r\nsystems best of all.\r\n\r\n\r\nCurrently I reside in a rather rural setting where I have the\r\nopportunity to grow antennas and distribute RF without any nearby TV's\r\nto overload. It's about two miles to the pavement in any direction\r\nwhich is only a problem in March when that's two miles of mud. Mostly,\r\nlife is good for ham radio here.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: WA8HHH - Fri Jul 3 8:10:23 1998\r\n"

"Bio": "Greetings fellow hams!\r\n\r\nIn junior high school in 1967 in metal shop we all built crystal AM\r\nradio sets. Mine actually worked! One of the two stations I heard on\r\nmine turned out to be the Voice of America relay station at Bethany,\r\nOhio. This led to an interest in shortwave radio. I put together a\r\nHeathkit regenerative receiver, the GR8 I believe, and soon I\r\ndiscovered ham radio.\r\n\r\nGot my novice license, WN8FSV, January 16, 1970, and made my first QSO\r\non February 6, 1970 using a Heathkit DX-60B transmitter and a Drake 2C\r\nreceiver. I had all of 5 crystals for 40 and 15 meters. Remember\r\ncrystals? HI. I soon learned how much I enjoy CW and rag chewing. Got\r\nmy DXCC and almost acheived my WAS as a novice. It certainly helped\r\nthat in 1970 we were just coming down from a sunspot peak. By August\r\n1970 I had my General and a Drake TR4 transceiver.\r\n\r\nI have always preferred 40 meter CW, a great rag chewing band that also\r\noffers the skilled and patient operator the chance to work DX. You can\r\nfind me on 40 or 80 meter CW most evenings, often in the novice bands\r\nlooking for new hams and old friends, or on the FISTS frequencies.\r\n\r\nI believe it is important for hams to participate in public service\r\nactivities, such as NTS(National Traffic System) or ARES(Amateur Radio\r\nEmergency Service). Personally I enjoy checking into NTS traffic\r\nnets(particularly CW nets)and I am the ARRL Ohio Section Traffic\r\nManager. Handling traffic, particularly during a disaster such as a\r\nhurricane or flood when normal communications are down, is often cited\r\nas one of the main justifications for the continued existence of\r\namateur radio and our use of our part of the valuable radio spectrum.\r\n\r\nPlease check out my homepage, particularly if you are a new ham or into\r\nCW. Look for me on 40 or 80 meter CW. Happy CWing.\r\n\r\nJack Wagoner WB8FSV\r\n\r\nRev: WB8FSV - Tue Jun 25 12:32:10 2030\r\n"

That was in autumn\r\n1994. I had to wait for months before a HAM course started in the town\r\nwhere I work. For 1.5 years I visited the lessons given by HB9CDB,\r\nHans Wolfgang: Once a week, during 90 minutes we learned all the\r\ntechnical know-how which is needed to pass the HAM exam. In March 1997\r\nI passed the exam and got my class B certificate ('Radiotelephone\r\nOperator's Certificate for Radioamateurs'). Since I wanted to go\r\ndirectly for 'the real thing' - CW & high frequency - I didn't apply\r\nfor a license then. Instead I started CW lessons in April '97. Lukas\r\nMundwiler, HB9EBZ and Lukas Jauslin, HB9EBT really did their best and\r\nmade big efforts to teach us as good as possible, but I was a bit lazy\r\nand not self-disciplined enough to practice every day and soon I got\r\nbehind, made no more progress, was demotivated. Finally, I wanted to\r\nquit, but then we received the keys and the whole thing became much\r\nmore interesting. I was then motivated enough to practice for 20 to 30\r\nminutes a day to reach the 60 characters per minute and with some luck\r\nI passed the CW exam on the 8th of December 1997 (only 1/3 of the\r\npeople who started the course finished it). I applied for a license the\r\nsame day and after one week I got my call sign HB9ECV together with the\r\nclass A certificate ('Radiotelegraph Operator's Certificate for\r\nRadioamateurs'). On 15-Dec-97 I had my first QSO with the help of\r\nHB9EBT on his rig. I was very nervous and afraid of making mistakes.\r\nMax, G3BSK from Birmingham was my first contact - unfortunately a QRP\r\nstation! I was not used to hear QRM since I had trained with computers\r\nor with colleagues in a quiet class room. I almost couldn't copy any\r\nletter, but Lukas wrote the QSO down for me and told me which part of\r\nthe standard QSO I had to key. Afterwards I was soaked from my\r\nsweat... At the end of January 1998 I purchased an Icom IC706 MkII\r\nHF/VHF mobile transceiver (visit my homepage to read details about my\r\n'shack'). Currently I'm using my Morsix MT-5 morse trainer again,\r\ntrying to reach 80 cpm.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: HB9ECV - Sun Aug 2 5:18:36 1998\r\n"

"Bio": "First Licensed as WN9EKA in 1961 at age 12, I got my start in Amateur\r\nRadio at an early age by affiliation with the Lawndale Boys Club of\r\nChicago, near where I was born and raised. The Boys Club had a donated\r\nremote building, about a block away from the main Boys Club facility.\r\nThe Club callsign was K9YHB and used the phonetics \"Young Healthy Boys\"\r\nwhen operating one of four complete stations set up in that building,\r\ncalled the WhiteHouse Wing, because the building was painted all white\r\nin color. I met many hams there and learned all about Ham Radio and\r\noperating procedures with the many \"elmers\" that frequented the Club.\r\nInterested in DX'ing, it was not long for me to upgrade to General and\r\nget WA9EKA issued as a permanent callsign, which I held for >35 years.\r\nI continued upgrading until achieving Amateur Extra status in 1979.\r\nI've been active on all HF bands DX'ing and contesting, which I also\r\nenjoy. I placed first in the CQ WPX CW contest of 1980 on 15m. and also\r\nthe same year place first in the CQWW CW DX Contest on 40m. and\r\nrepeated again in 1988, with an even better score due to better\r\nconditions, more skill, and a three element 40m. yagi antenna. I\r\nachieved my ultimate goal in 1994, making the #1 DXCC Honor Roll spot\r\non Mixed Catagory, as well as Phone and CW catagories! I presently\r\nhave 342 country/entities confirmed, along with all on the current DXCC\r\nlisting. In 1996 I elected to chance the opportunity to obtain my\r\ninitials in my callsign, as K9RB was listed as an available callsign\r\nunder the newly created vanity callsign program. My application was\r\nthere on the opening day and I was fortunate enough to have my desire\r\nfulfilled. This was a dream come true for me as it was the only\r\ncallsign that I wanted! In '97 my wife and I relocated to NE Florida.\r\nLately my interests have been RTTY and WARC band operations, along with\r\nkeeping up my #1 DXCC Honor Roll status. Just since '96 have I been\r\nactive in RTTY DX'ing and I've had a lot of fun with my \"new\" mode! I\r\nalso have been working the WARC bands since they first became\r\navailable, but still need lots of countries there. Another goal for me\r\nis 5BWAZ, but as of last season, I still need 11 more zones on 80m.\r\nI'm an honorary member and past trustee of the Hamfesters Radio Club -\r\nW9AA, a charter member of the Metro DX Club, a past member of the\r\nNorthern Illinois DX Assn., a past member of the Suburban Technical\r\nAmateur Radio Society, and a member of the Clay County (FL) DX Assn.\r\nThank You for taking the time to read my amateur radio biography. 73\r\nand good DX'ing. I hope to \"see\" you on the bands. -=Roger-K9RB=-\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: K9RB - Tue Aug 25 11:19:32 1998\r\n"

"Bio": "I was first licensed December 16, 1983 as a Novice via Bill Kindred /\r\nWA9RAP who has tutored hundreds of new hams over the years in the Fort\r\nWayne, Indiana area.\r\n\r\nI was born Rural Route 1 Dayton, Ohio on May 3, 1939 and lived in\r\nnumerous local areas of the Buckeye state. During the early 1950's I\r\nbecame interested in radio and acquired a Philmore crystal set from the\r\nAllied Radio catalog. With that kit came an antenna and all parts to\r\nset up a receiver. Later from school friends it was found that the\r\n1N34A germanium diode worked much better than the cat whisker affair\r\nand lots of entertainment was enjoyed on that set. Later in high school\r\nI built a Ocean Hopper kit and began to be fascinated with short wave\r\nradio.\r\n\r\nI moved to Whitley county Indiana in the summer of 1956 and graduated\r\nfrom Larwill High Scholl in May of 1957. I had been in the local Army\r\nReserve in Columbia City so in June of 1957 took basic at Fort Leonard\r\nWood , Missouri and then to Fort Sam Houston , Texas for medical\r\ntraining at the hospital and as a field medic at Camp Bullis. A couple\r\nyears later I decided the Army was for me and signed up for the Army\r\nSecurity Agency and learned the Morse Code at Fort Devens ,\r\nMassachusetts. I went to Germany as a Morse Code interceptor and during\r\nthis process learned most of what I know about amateur radio from a\r\ngood friend Ken Morris / K2UYK who was one of the best CW operators\r\nthat I ever knew. I made some feeble attempts at getting my General\r\nConditional ham ticket at Rothwesten , Germany but the theory was above\r\nmy reach at the time.\r\n\r\nI retired from the Army at Fort Knox on March 1, 1979 at 39 years of\r\nage and came back to the Larwill area of Indiana in Whitley County. I\r\nam now retired as a Bio-Medical Equipment Technician from the local\r\nhospital.\r\n\r\nMy other main hobby is genealogy looking for other Evilsizor /\r\nEvilsizer ancestors. Bird watching and gardening are also other hobbies\r\nof mine.\r\n\r\nI currently serve the Indiana Section as the Indiana ARRL BULLETIN\r\nMANAGER. My first love in amateur radio is packet radio. Our long\r\nWhitley County Amateur Radio Club (WCARC) newsletter is mainly done in\r\npacket and sent to the editor who compiles our input to make up the\r\nmaster.\r\n\r\nI am also a Air Force MARS member and active on HF packet and voice. I\r\nregularly check into the Indiana traffic nets on voice and CW.\r\n\r\nWe use my barn out here in the county on a 15 acre place to teach\r\nantenna building and other ham related projects.\r\n\r\nMy home packet BBS is KA9QWC@KF9UG.\r\n\r\n73's and I hope to hear from others who have similar interests.\r\n\r\nDon Evilsizor / KA9QWC\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: KA9QWC - Thu Jul 9 9:28:57 1998\r\n"

I\r\nremember my Mom having an old upright Philco radio in the living room.\r\nAnd yes, the family spent alot of time working Jigsaw puzzles, while\r\nlistening to the old radio shows of that time. The lone Ranger, Amos\r\nand Andy and the like. But there was more than one line on that tuning\r\ndial and I was most interested in the other bands. Most of my time was\r\nspent listening to Foriegn Broadcast. one day I placed my finger on the\r\nantenna connection and a whold new world became avaliable to me. The\r\nvery next day, the bell wire was hanging in the tree. When I got to\r\nvisit my Uncle in Kansas City Mo. I was allowed into his Ham Shack. All\r\nI was able to do was look and listen, however the Amatuer bug was just\r\nstarting to get to me. This uncle also showed me the ECHO Satalitte\r\nduring a pass over Southern Indiana at night. It took another 20years\r\nbefore I got interested in Ham Radio, but thanks to Roscoe Davis\r\nWA9TJS, now silent key, I learned the code and got my Novice ticket\r\nWN9NHX was the call and I was proud of it. My wife at the time wasn't.\r\nI was given the choice. Either she or the radio goes. I should have\r\nkept the Rig but you know how that goes. 20 years later the bug bit\r\nagain. I had devoted my life to being a Railroad Station\r\nOperator/Clerk. then when the stations started closing up, I started\r\ndriving a Truck. After developing Sleep Apnea, and barely avoiding\r\nseveral wreaks on the highway, I was able to take up the hobby again.\r\nNow I hold a General class license and spend most of my time working\r\neither with the Ham gear or working on the Computer. I am the Net\r\nControl Operator for the Knox County Skywarn System we have in\r\nVincennes, In. and a member of the Old Post Amatuer Radio Club here.\r\nDue to a recent move, I still do not have any HF antennas up yet, but\r\nbefore long I hope to at least have a 20-meter di-pole in place and\r\nwill be back on the air. look for me Thanks Rod Smith KB9LNA\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: KB9LNA - Mon Jun 29 12:17:46 1998\r\n"

I was introduced to Ham Radio\r\nat that time by the instructor, Charles Quick (W3VKB). The urge to get\r\na license was never fulfilled until 7-11-1998. In the meantime, I\r\nlooked for all the answers to all the questions that I had about Life.\r\nFor example, Who was I, Where did I come from, Why am I here, and where\r\nam I going. Is there life before birth, Is there life after death, Is\r\nthere such a thing as Reincarnation? etc,etc,etc. I started out as a\r\nshipper and then upgraded to a repairman of Oxygen and Acetylene\r\nWelding equiptment. I then upgraded to lab technician at Philco\r\nResearch Labs. Moved to Technician Supervisor in Philco Computer Labs\r\nand transferred to RCA.

It wasn't until after i had moved to\r\nChicago and got settled in to adult life that my friend Dave Greenidge\r\n(N9QIV) just kind of out of the blue had his interest rekindled so we\r\ndecided to go on it together so we'd have at least one other person to\r\ntalk to for sure. i had always enjoyed Math and Science and tinkering\r\naround so the \"theory\" side came pretty easy and i took all the written\r\ntests up to Advanced at once, though it took me almost a year to get my\r\ncode speed up to actually bag the Advanced license.\r\n\r\nHere in Chicago i live and work in a place called Jesus People USA (\r\nhttp://www.mcs.net/~jpusa/ ), a Christian community of about 500\r\npeople. and have been involved in some fairly raucous musical groups,\r\ncrashdog ( http://www.enteract.com/~lfront/crashdog/ with fellow Ham\r\nGreg Jacques N9QIV) and Ballydowse (\r\nhttp://www.enteract.com/~lfront/ballydowse/ ) i've got a beautiful wife\r\nand two lovely little girls. You can check out my personal site at\r\nhttp://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/9343/ .\r\n\r\n\r\ni still enjoy tinkering so it's no suprise that i'm involved most in\r\nlittle QRP projects when it comes to Hamming. Though i pull out the old\r\n100 Watt rig every now and again. i think my most interesting Ham\r\nexperiance was when Dave and i had to drive down to Southern Missouri\r\ntogether to do some work and at the last minute we threw together a\r\nmobil packet set-up using a TRS-80 and a 2 meter Hand Held and it\r\nworked great! It was on that same trip one lunch break that i decided\r\nto fire up the 10 meter rig just to see if anything was out there and\r\nright away i hit a guy down in MonteVideo, Uraguay!\r\n\r\ni haven't really been on the air much lately since i had to take down\r\nall the antennas when the roof of the building got redone and i haven't\r\nhad the time to reinstall everything, but hopefully soon.\r\n\r\nRev: KF9SH - Mon Jun 15 8:54:45 1998\r\n"

"Bio": "I Was born on May 21, 1951 in my grandfather's farmhouse. He came over\r\nfrom Norway when he was 17, so I've felt a close attachment to my\r\nNorwegian heritage.\r\n\r\nI became a private pilot in 1981, and while I was in college in\r\n1988-92, I wrote technical articles (mostly on gyroplanes) for Sport\r\nPilot, Kitplanes, and Homebuilt Rotorcraft magazines. I've flown many\r\ntypes of planes including Midget Mustangs, gyroplanes, Cessnas, Pipers,\r\nand ultralights. I've owned three planes including an Eich JE-2 tandem\r\nseating, tractor gyroplane which I built from plans (tube and fabric),\r\na Kolb Mark III, and my newest love, my Powered Parachute (a\r\nHarmening's High Flyer).\r\n\r\nI've lived most of my life in Wisconsin, except for the 11 years my\r\nwife and I (Mary, KB9NOC) spent in God's country in New Mexico (not\r\ncounting one summer I spent in Mountain Home, Idaho in 1972). Her\r\nbeing an only child, we had to return to Wisconsin to take care of her\r\naging parents in 1993, but plan on returning to the Southwest when they\r\nare both gone.\r\n\r\nThe first time I got into Ham Radio was back in the early '70s. I got\r\nmy Novice ticket, but couldn't break 10 WPM to get my General. Back\r\nthen the Novice ticket expired and you had to wait a year before\r\nre-applying, so I let it lapse. Now, with computer programs to help\r\npush your code speed, passing the 20 WPM was a snap. However, I waited\r\ntoo long to take the written Advanced and Extra, so now I'll have to\r\ntake the code test for 20 WPM over again. I did pass the Advanced test\r\nin April of '98 and hope to do the Extra this winter.\r\n\r\nMy hobbies include flying, riding my '97 Harley Davidson Heritage\r\nSoftail Classic (10,000 miles in less than a year), hunting (and\r\ncollecting guns), fishing, computers, electronics, owning different\r\nautos (94 cars and trucks to date--I love anything mechanical!) and\r\ntraveling. I currently own a '96 Geo, '96 Roadtrek motorhome, '97\r\nHarley Softail, '98 Harley Superglide (wife's bike) '98 GMC Sonoma, and\r\n'98 Jeep Wrangler Sahara. All bought new except the Roadtrek.\r\n\r\nWe've traveled all over the western US (every state west of the\r\nMississippi) and about half of the Eastern states. We've been to\r\nGermany, France, and the Bahamas. I have a college education with a\r\nbachelor's degree in education and my wife has a master's in\r\neducation. We are semi-retired. I went to Sun N Fun this year ('98),\r\nwe always go to Oshkosh airshow (we own a cottage on a lake near\r\nOshkosh), and we'll ride our bikes back out to Sturgis, SD for the big\r\nHarley rally again this year ('98).\r\n\r\nWe use our 2 meter ham radios to communicate on our Harleys.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: KG9NO - Thu Jun 11 7:56:30 1998\r\n"

My wife's name is Melanie and I have a teenage son Jeff and a\r\nsoon to be teenage daughter Megan. I got into the hobby later than most\r\nafter being interested in two way radio since I got my first pair of\r\nKnight Kit walkie talkies for Christmas when I was around 10 years old.\r\nOther than my 13 element beam for 2 meter ssb, I only have wire\r\nantennas at my qth - 3 different multiband dipoles for 20-10 and\r\nanother dipole for 80&40. I can't put up a tower due to CC&R, but at\r\nleast I can put something outside on the roof. I have been involved in\r\nthe grocery business ever since I was 16. For the last nine years I\r\nhave been a franchisee of a convenience store in Bartlett, Il. - my\r\nhome town. The two mile commmute is a killer. My main rig is a Yaesu\r\nFT1000MP. I operate mostly ssb on just about any band with my favorite\r\nbeing 40 meters because I love to ragchew, especially with a bunch of\r\nhams on the same frequency. I do like to work dx when the bands are in\r\ngood shape. Even with just wire antennas I have just about 200\r\ncountries confirmed. My AL80B sure helps a lot with dx when just using\r\na dipole! I hope to see 10 and 15 meters open up a lot more this year.\r\nRecently I got a Kenwood SM-220 monitor scope to go with my Kenwood\r\nTS850 and it is really neat to use the band scope to check activity on\r\nthe different bands. I also like the tube rigs and have some Drake and\r\nCollins equipment. My Collins rig is a KWM2A. As far as Drake I have a\r\nB Line, TR4CW, R4C, and a 2C. I really enjoy getting on the air with\r\nthose rigs. If you want to hear any of them drop me a note sometime and\r\nwe can try to set up a sched.

"Bio": "The Piasa Bird (pronounced Pie-a-saw), is a local legend in the Alton\r\narea. Its foundings go back to 1673 when Father Jacques Marquette, in\r\nrecording his famous journey down the Mississippi River with Louis\r\nJoliet, described the \"Piasa\" as a birdlike monster painted high on the\r\nbluffs along the Mississippi River, where the city of Alton, Illinois\r\nnow stands. According to the diary, the Piasa \"was as large as a calf\r\nwith horns like a deer, red eyes, a beard like a tiger's, a face like a\r\nman, the body covered with green, red and black scales and a tail so\r\nlong it passed around the body, over the head and between the legs.\"\r\nThe creature was given its name by the Illini Indians, \"The Piasa\",\r\nmeaning a bird that devours men. There are many legends regarding its\r\norigin. One of the more popular accounts goes like this ... Many moons\r\nago, there existed a birdlike creature of such great size, he could\r\neasily carry off a full grown deer in his talons. His taste, however,\r\nwas for human flesh. Hundreds of warriors attempted to destroy the\r\nPiasa, but failed. Whole villages were destroyed and fear spread\r\nthroughout the Illini tribe. Ouatoga, a chief whose fame extended even\r\nbeyond the Great Lakes, separated himself from his tribe, fasted in\r\nsolitude for the space of a whole moon, and prayed to the Great Spirit\r\nto protect his people from the Piasa. On the last night of his fast,\r\nthe Great Spirit appeared to Ouatoga in a dream and directed him to\r\nselect 20 warriors, arm them each with a bow and poisoned arrow, and\r\nconceal them in a designated spot. Another warrior was to stand in an\r\nopen view, as a victim for the Piasa. When the chief awoke in the\r\nmorning, he told the tribe of his dream. The warriors were quickly\r\nselected and placed in ambush. Ouatoga offered himself as the victim.\r\nPlacing himself in open view, he soon saw the Piasa perched on the\r\nbluff eyeing his prey. Ouatoga began to chant the death song of a\r\nwarrior. The Piasa took to the air and swooped down upon the chief. The\r\nPiasa had just reached his victim when every bow was sprung and every\r\narrow sent sailing into the body of the beast. The Piasa uttered a\r\nfearful scream that echoed down the river, and died. Ouatoga was safe,\r\nand the tribe saved. The re-creation of the original painting (one\r\nversion is depicted in the image at the top of this page), has been a\r\nlocal landmark and, until just recently, could be seen on the bluff\r\njust north of Alton on the Great River Road. Due to weather damage and\r\nan increase in local traffic, the painting has been removed for\r\nrestoration and relocation. It is hoped to have the Piasa once again\r\ntake part in our local history and legends.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: N9YDY - Fri Aug 28 0:09:43 1998\r\n"

"Bio": "HISTORY OF WB9GKZ: I started building crystal radio sets and listening\r\nto my folks old 1946 vintage Philco table radio sometime in the early\r\n1960's. I listened to ham radio ops and ships on the Great Lakes\r\ntalking on AM in those days. Later, while in grade school, I was\r\nassembling various Knight-Kits from Allied Radio and listening to the\r\nworld on my Star-Roamer receiver. I begged my folks to buy me a used\r\ntube-type Citizens Band transceiver and began communicating with other\r\nyoungsters over the 11-Meter airwaves. Next, while in high-school, I\r\nobtained my Novice as WN9GKZ. I still have my old, original call:\r\nWB9GKZ...will never change it!\r\n\r\nTHE WB9GKZ SHACK: It is a living Radio Museum. As an active AM'er and\r\ncollector of old radio junk, my shack is a testament to the 1950's and\r\n60's when tube-type gear was in its peak of popularity! I tend to drag\r\nhome many sorry old \"garage queens\" and spend hours brining them back\r\nto life on the workbench.\r\n\r\nTHE WB9GKZ OPERATING STYLE: Most of my contacts are made on AM Phone\r\nusing various transmitters such as the Johnson Viking I, Ranger,\r\nValiant. 3885KHz and 1985KHz are my AM hang-outs. I installed a\r\n5-channel mixing console with audio processing \"stolen\" from the\r\nvarious AM radio stations I used to work at as Chief Engineer. My\r\noperating style reflects my philosophy that Ham Radio should be\r\nfun...not stodgy. I have been known to offend those operators that\r\nlack a sense of humor and still think that Ham Radio should be run on\r\nstrictly a legal, rigid-rule platform.\r\n\r\nWB9GKZ NOT AFFILIATED WITH THE ARRL: Since the ARRL is out of touch\r\nwith my interests (AM Phone, vintage gear restoration, having fun)...I\r\nam not affiliated with them and do not support their defense of old\r\noperating practices and their greed in running an organization fueled\r\nby commercial intersts.\r\n\r\nThanks for reading my biography.\r\n\r\n\r\nRev: WB9GKZ - Mon Aug 24 11:38:11 1998\r\n"

"Bio": "I became interested in ham radio while wandering the halls of Marquette\r\nUniversity http://www.marquette.edu/ back in 1987 during my freshman\r\nyear of Engineering School. As I was walking down the hall, I heard\r\nfunny voices eminating from a small room. It was NQ9N tuning the\r\nbands. He spun the dial, said, \"This guy's in Germany.\" Spun the dial\r\nagain and said, \"This guy is in Yugoslavia.\" And again, \"This guy is\r\nin England.\"\r\n\r\nI was hooked. I began learning the code. The theory was easy for me.\r\nI passed my Novice and Technician license in one sitting (N9GVT), and\r\none month later passed my General and Advanced (KE9HJ). It took 11\r\nmore months to pass my extra and that's the call I kept. No vanity\r\ncall for me, thanks.\r\n\r\nSince then, I've done a little DXing, but most of my operating is\r\nContesting. I like both Domestic and DX contests.\r\n\r\nAnd I've definitely have been a little on the active side. In the past\r\n5 years, I've made 42,387 QSOs!!! That's averaging about 8500 QSOs per\r\nyear!\r\n\r\nI belong to the \"Black Hole\" group of contesters, the Society of\r\nMidwest Contesters http://pages.ripco.com:8080/~blckhole/smc_home.htm\r\n. I've done most of my contesting as a guest op, mainly at W9JA\r\n(ex-KS9K). Check out the station, it's truly world class!!\r\nhttp://www.contesting.com/Tours/W9JA/w9jahome.htm\r\n\r\nI've done a ton of station design, including designing W9JA's\r\namplifiers, antenna switch controllers, phasing networks, rotator\r\ncontrollers, and other gadgets. I currently work at Motorola designing\r\nsmall transmitters for portable cellular phones. At home my VFO stops\r\nat 29 MHz, but at work I have to work up to 2 GHz.\r\n\r\nI've now \"grown up\" and have bought my first house in 1998 and the\r\nsummer of 1998 is time to install my own station. It will consist of\r\ntwo towers, 100' and 56'. The tall tower will support a Cushcraft 40M\r\nyagi and a stacked/phased pair of KLM KT-34XAs. There will be a wire\r\narray for 80M and shunt fed for 160M. The 56' tower will support\r\nanother tribander, a WARC 12/17M beam and low dipoles for 40/80M.\r\nInside is a Yaesu FT-1000, driving an old Swan amplifier, and when I\r\ncan get around to completing it, I have two 8877 RF decks. The station\r\nwill be built like a Multi-Two contest station, with two radios and\r\neither radio can access any of the 9 planned HF antennas.\r\n\r\nBetween contests, I hope to work DX, improve the station, dabble in\r\nRTTY, satelites, and eventually get into 6M and 2M.\r\n\r\nQSL Info: If you need a QSL, please send it direct with a SASE. If\r\nyou send it through the buro, have plenty of patience. I do QSL all\r\nQSLs received, but the buro cards get low priority.\r\n\r\n\r\n73 and I look forward to working you in the next contest!!\r\n\r\nChad WE9V\r\n\r\nRev: WE9V - Thu Jul 2 11:16:49 1998\r\n"
