| Biography In my 8th year of school when I was 13 years old I began studying the written material and passed the exam for my Novice license in mid May of 1954 I can remember watching for the mailman each day after the school year was over. Finally in mid June the license arrived with the call sign of WN7WJF. I passed the exam for the Conditional General Class license in September of the same year and began using 20 Meter CW in the month of October 1954 operating as W7WJF on a frequency bands that was not available with the Novice license. By the time I became a novice, we were using an E F Johnson Viking II and the Hallicrafters S-76 receiver and I was able to work many stations all over the USA and many new countries. Equipment I am now using an Icom 706 Mark II G with an SGC 239 auto tuner. I moved recently and have not yet figured out what to do about an antenna. Thinking now about a magnetic loop antenna, so perhaps I will build one and put it in my back yard! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
