Biography

Reborn Ham - got my Technicians license in 1976 as WD8JNF -Extra class license in April 2009 as KD8KDJ - now WW4EN.

Original QTH was Bloomfield Hills, Michigan - just North West of Detroit.

Current QTH is Townsend, Massachusetts - 50 miles West of Boston. North Central Massachusetts near the New Hampshire border.

Have a barn-like structure(below)in the middle of 60 acres of land. Love to spend time with my wife, Judy, (and our kids - when they visit) at "the barn". Peace, tranquility, trees, wildlife, quiet, far away from everything - great place to work (programming) and getting on the air.

Running a barefoot (100w) Yaesu FT-2000 with a Heil Classic mic. Using several antennas: A pair of phased Hygain AV-640 multi-band verticals -28' tall at the 28' point of the barn. Also playing with some ground plane wire antennas out in the woods for75m -very cool. Just installed an 80' Universal Tower w/ Yaesu GDX1000 rotor with a Cushcraft X7 tribander (X7-40 up soon).
