About Me

Above is a picture of myself and my QTH. The Shack is in the old house on the right. My old Ringo Ranger II is visible from the roof top. The GAP Titan vertical is located behind the Shack, and my old Windom off center fed dipole is invisible up in the trees behind the Shack.
I am retired from 33 years in electronics for fourteen years now, and enjoy Amateur Radio and the computer. I became a ham in 1985 with a Novice Class liscense. I held my Novice Class liscense until 1993 when I earned my Extra Class. I worked CW only during this 8 year period and worked all States except Hawaii and Alaska, and many countries around the world. So, as you can see, I am an old "Brass Pounder" at heart.
