History
After working in the fire protection trade for 36 years, I retired in 1993 and moved with the XYL (wife) to the State of Arkansas. The best part was moving to the small town of Edgemont, pop.232, located in the foothills of the Ozarks.
Located on the North shores of beautiful Greers Ferry Lake, 75 miles North of Little Rock, it was the perfect place to retire. The worst part was leaving friends and families back in California. But what a great place for them to come and visit.
Following NASCAR racing is one of my weekend pleasures. Also I've always been interested in woodworking, computers and electronics.
So after moving here, I had the time to take up my life long love of Ham Radio, finally passing Extra Class in Nov. 2000.
In Sep. 2000, my wife Connie, got the ham radio bug, started studying and by Oct. 2001 had received her Amateur Extra Class license.
I could not be more proud of her for all her hard work.Need to know more about ham radio,
goto, What is Ham Radio?
