Down to the Year 2000
Well here we go, Im trying to make a web page.
Started my HAM radio stuff at 13 years old back in abt 1967.
Went into the air force and lost my Ham ticket,and here we
are 24 years later doing it agn.My vanity call was once mine.
Here the installation crew, breathing thin air at 10,000 feet
on a mountain near Big Bear Calif,called Onyx Peak.
Here yet another repeater system is being installed and linked up to the
many other sites providing coverage from the desert to the sea
and to all of southern california.
From left to right Steve, Im under the hat,Cliff,Gerry,Marshall,
Colby,Doug on the tower and Larry doing the photography chores.
Never married, no harmonics (kids) so guess Ill show a few
pic's of things I do or have done.
High in the Sierra,s at 9 to 11,000 feet, the snow fall was
above normal that year, we are standing on abt 12 feet of snow.
The ski's are very much flotation device's. If you step off
the ski you sink up to youre hips ,A major problem when you crash.
Should you drop youre knife, forget it, it's gone.
Once you pick a camp sight The three of us spend an hour
compacting the snow, First while on both ski's then take off one
and continue stompping down the snow with youre boot till it,s hard
enough to support wieght Then you have a platform to pitch tent
and set up camp.That's Chris on the pad heating up breakfast,and
Dave cleaning the ice off his ski's We were out for five days,
and upon our return to the car (2AM) it was buried under several
feet of snow, spent two hr's to dig it out. Great trip, great fun.
