A little bit about me.

I was born in San Diego,Ca.on December 26,1951 and have lived here all my life.

I became an Amateur Radio Operator in June of 1976. I started out as a Technician and received my first licence in november of 76. In January of 1977 I upgraded to General and presently hold this Class of licence. I went down to the FCC office in downtown San Diego in June of 76 to take the Novice exam and passed it, and then they asked if I was intrested in taking the Technician's written exam so I did,and passed.Then they asked me if I wanted to take the CW portion of the General exam,but missed passing it by 4 letters per minute. My first licence I received came as (WB6VSL) and on the air I would use the phonetics (V)ery (S)low (L)icense as it seemd to fit at the time. I held that call until Feb 6 2016 requesting for a vanity call of (N6CQW) to honor a very close friend that I have known back when we experamented with Radio Shack TRS-80s. He helped me in learning how to program in basic and to use DOS. We both enrolled in a night class to learn how to program in Pascal and CPM. I remember when he first got into amateur radio where he became a Technician. I can never thank him enough for the things he tought me. (Thank You Roger).
