WELCOME TO N7TY's SITE
I grew up in Port Angeles, WA and was first licensed as WB7RHT in 1977. I operated as IT9/WB7RHT in Catania, Italy (on Sicily's east coast) from 1980 to 1981 and from 1985 to 1988 and as M0BKC in Littleport, England (near Cambridge) from 1997 to 1998. In 2005, after 28 years of using WB7RHT, I decided to change my call. After anguishing for about three months, I applied for and received N7TY, a very easy call to send in CW. Although I am interested in all areas of Amateur Radio, my favorite activity is to chase DX on CW. I will, however, chase it on other modes if I see a good spot! I am also an accredited W5YI and ARRL Volunteer Examiner and the Trustee and Founder of the Imperial Valley Amateur Radio Club (KC7EQW).
I retired from the U.S. Navy in 1997 as an AMSC(AW/NAC). During my career I amassed over 4100 flight hours as a Flight Mechanic and Loadmaster on the C-2A Greyhound, C-130 Hercules, and UC-12M Huron aircraft. Although I am not active at present, in 1996 I earned my Commercial Pilot's certificate with Multi-Engine, Single-Engine, and Instrument ratings. I am an FAA A&P/IA Mechanic and also hold a FCC General Radiotelephone Operator License (GROL) with Radar Endorsement.
