     Hello from AG4L .   I had always had an interest in Electronics to a certain degree but
never had the chance to get into the hobbies. I was helping with theBoy Scouts of America. We had gone on a spring camporee and one of the Assistant Scout Masters had just gotten his Amateur License and was work  with a Handheld radio and laptop computer with a small MFJ 3 element beam tied up in a tree with a rope at about 15 ft. He was talking to a another ham operator in the a town around 20 miles away  with that handheld and 5 watts of powers. That was a rush for me because I was only use to CB radio with 4 watts and talking to people only across the street.

     That was all it took. I was hooked. From that point I have gotten my Amateur Radio
License. Have sense upgraded to Extra Class and enjoy the hobby very much.  My main
interest in the hobby is DX.

     My Station consist of a Icom -756 with a  Ameritron Al-811H Amplifier used for
HF operation 6 meters and SSTV. The other equipment consist of  a Kenwood Tm-241  2m transceiver for packet use on the DX cluster.  This cluster is a node that display the current stations heard for DX chasing and working  new stations for awards such as DXCC, WAS, and other various awards. I  also have an  Icom -706 for Hf and 6 meters operations. My portable station is an Icom  2340 2m/70cm dualband transceiver mounted in my truck. The other portable transceiver is an  Icom-W32A  dual band handheld.

Icom - 756

     My antenna system is  a  Rohn 25G  tower at 75ft with a Diamond F-22A. 2 element
7/8 wave vertical at 107 ft. This vertical is used for the local DX cluster. I have a
Cushcraft 2m 13 element beam ( 13b2 ) mounted in horizontal position for SBB operation. Also have a Mosely 4 element tribander mounted at 80ft for HF operation. If you want to get a rush out of a hobby try Amateur Radio. To find out
more go to the ARRL Web page. They will tell how to get started..

     On personal note I have recieved my DXCC Award for working 100 DX Countries.
Also have a number from the Geratol Net #1692 under the callsign  AD4LM. This is
a net for Extra Class operators to work WAS on the 75 meter band.

    So grab a book and join Amateur Radio Community.        73 and good DX..
