Personal Information

Personal Info

Name is Jim and I live in Halifax Nova Scotia, Canada. I have been an amateur radio operator since March 1990. Some of the things I enjoy are; ham radio, packet, hunting, fishing, cottage life, country walks and bowling. My wife, Joanne and I go to the cottage as often as we can. I usually set up a portable station there and she does some gardening and reading while I do some talking.

Personal Information: Attended Sarnia Collegiate Institute and Technical School in Sarnia Ontario. Left there in 1964 and joined the navy. My first year after basic training was spent on the west coast in Victoria, BC In 1966 I was transferred to Halifax. In 1983 I went to night school and completed grade 12. The rest of my service time and retirement has been spent here in Halifax. Beautiful place, EH?

My trade/job in the service was as a Signalman (visual and voice comms) up until the time I retired Dec 1988. I never thought about getting my ham license during that time. Guess I missed out on meeting a lot of people that I may have talked with

Where I like to be on the radio is 10 and 20 meters. I am a member

of the 10-10 organization (10 meters) along with the

YLISSB System (20 meters).

The YL System Database and Search Program demo, which you can download

and try, along with some of my favorite links are accessible from my

Interesting Links.
