| Biography I didn't take my Novice exam until 1983 when working for the U.S. State Department. In the interim I was a Peace Corps Volunteer to Turkey from 1964-66 in Kayseri where I taught English as a foreign language to Turkish middle school children, both boys and girls, and then went on to get my MA degree from Georgetown University in Washington, DC. It was at Georgetown that I met my wife Vicky and we both entered the diplomatic service. Worked DXCCs: Equipment Upon retirement we moved to Charlottesville, Virginia .Due to neighborhood covenant restrictions I operated low power using a buddie dipole and Icom 718 transceiver. While this worked, I eventually purchased a Buckmaster OCR dipole which improved contacts considerably. I have that hidden in the many trees on my property. Recently I added to my collection of 'toys' and now have a Ten Tech Omni VII transceiver, upgraded my Buckmaster OCR dipole for added power and added a No tune solid state ALS 600 amplifier. I'm always delighted to hear DX stations and will make every effort to contact a DX station, even though my competition of fellow hams usually out-gun me with larger amplifiers and beams. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
