Roger Root - W7LZ

Hello....My Name is Roger Root and I live in Arizona. The above photo was taken in 1997.

I retired from IBM in 1993 after working for them for 32 years. During the first 12 years, I worked as a Customer Engineer servicing their unit record equipment and computers. During the last 20 years I was a computer programmer working on new device support for the mainframe computers.

During my high school years, I obtained a General Class amateur radio license but allowed it to expire. In 1981 I again became interested in amateur radio and got my license again. I have changed my call sign from KC7LZ to W7LZ. I enjoy the pursuit of DX countries. My transceiver is a Kenwood TS-940, my antennas are a 20 m. Hy-gain 204 BAS beam, Hy-gain tribander, and a 40 meter folded dipole. My current country count is 320 worked, 314 confirmed. My DX Need List is located at: http://www.qsl.net/w7lz/needlist.htm My more in depth ham radio bio is located at http://www.toten.info/~roger/w7lzbio.htm
- My second ham radio enjoyment is working IBMers during the annual IBM QSO Party. If you worked for IBM, or an affiliated company, and would like to work the QSO party please see www.ibmarc.org You do not need to be an IBM retiree. We also have an e-mail reflector named IBMHAM on yahoo groups.
- There is an IBM Saturday Net on 14.347.0 at 1600 UTC, see www.ibmarc.org for the 40 meter net .
