I just recently retired from one of the local Hospitals. I am also retired from the US Army where I spent 22 years, during which I was able to visit many countries and all of the continents. One of my Military jobs was Setting up Long Range HF radio links. This is how I got interested in Ham Radio. I got my license in 1976. I recently completed my DXCC Honor Roll on 28 Mhz. My present DXCC status is 327 countries confirmed, 328 worked. Click here for my needed list.
