My Personal Information

My name is Robert Elder.
 I live in the Northwest Corner of Wyoming in the City of
Powell, which is located 17 miles south of the Montana state line and 75 miles east
of Yellowstone National Park.

I have always been around Amateur Radio as may Dad, W7OUX / SK held an
Advanced Class license.  As a youngster, we travelled to many Ham Radio
related functions.  I helped my Dad build many Heathkits and home brew
projects.

I was first licensed as a Novice in 1974 and was issued the call WN7YFY, but due
to changes of interests, (mainly girl chasing), I never persued the hobby or upgraded
and let the license lapse after two years.  Twenty years later along with a good friend
we studied questions for the Technician Class license.  In June of 1994 we tested
and passed that class of license and I was issued the call KC7EMS.  In July of 2000
I attended a local testing session and passed the General class license, filed for a
vanity call dropping the "C" and retaining my current call of K7EMS.
