W1DYJ Contact Status

First licensed in 1962 as Novice KN1VFX, I was active for a number of years from Stratford, CT, as Technician K1VFX.  I started with a Homebrew 807 CW transmitter on 80M and an SX-140 receiver.  6M AM became my favorite band, with a Homebrew 2E26 transmitter plate modulated with a pair of 6L6s, a homebrew nuvistor preamp in front of the SX-140, and a homebrew 6 element beam.
-----------

I received W1DYJ in 1966, during college at MIT, as an additional station license.  (The FCC rules were more stringent then.  A second station location required another station license and call.  The FCC was handing out no longer assigned W1 calls before they went to WA1 calls.)  I was barely active during the 70's and 80's, due to marriage and kids.  
-----------

I became active again in 1994, enjoying casual DX and contests with a TS-430S and FT-736R in Woburn, Massachusetts.   I replaced the above with a Kenwood TS-2000 in February 2001 after obtaining my Extra Class license in 2000.

In 2008 we bought a second home in Harpswell, Maine, and I started building a new station there.

Use the links above to look at these two stations.

The status below is for this new period of operating, since 1994.
