W0DYD operated from Minnetonka, MN, 42 years. We moved into a townhome in 2007 that has
limited antenna space. Equipment consists of a Kenwwod TS590s and a Yaesu FT-100D. I began
my hamming career in July of 1951 in Benson, Minnesota. My dad, W0DYC, got me started in
ham radio at the age of 14. He became a silent key in April 1997 after an 11 year bout with
Parkinson's disease. My youngest of four daughters who resides in Louisville, Colorado is also a
ham (previously KB0CMM - now W0DYC,her deceased grandfather's call). My brother Maynard,
WA0KNP, is active from Madison, MN. I retired in June 2001 from teaching school at Ridgewater
College in Hutchinson, MN, in electronics, metrology and Computer System Technology. I
continue to conduct Metrology/Quality seminars in industry. I also enjoy communicating on the
internet with Echolink. I installed a Cushcraft MA5B in July 2011 and added a Kenwood TS590s In
Nov. 2011. I am back on HF (20 through 10) on CW, SSB, AM, FM, RTTY, and PSK 31. More info
is available on my Home page including a link to my logbook .
