Biography
Operations from just outside Lansing, MI.
I belong to multiple groups but mainly the Feld Hell Club. Part of the FHC Dayton Hamvention Krewe operating from the flea market either as W8H or as WW1FHC special event station promoting Feld Hellschreiber. Anyone is welcome to come by the booth and enjoy operating feld hellschreiber, chat, sit down out of the sun, etc.
