Biography

My name is Bob and I have been licensed since January 1960. My interest in Amateur Radio led me to a 42 year career in radio and Television Broadcasting, of which almost 40 years had been with the CBS Television Network. I operate PSK, Pactor, RTTY, FT8/FT4, CW and SSB all bands 160 through 6 meters and 10, 6, 2, 1.25 and 70 CM FM voice and packet. I have been involved in all facets of Ham Radio including DX'ing, contesting, ragchewing, homebrewing, satellite, packet, digital, public service, television and traffic handling. I never stopped finding new and interesting things to do which kept my interest in Ham Radio through the years. My wife, Marge is licensed as KA2NIE and while not very active on the air, she enjoys watching me operate and is my logger when operating HF from my mobile station.
