| Biography Thank you for visiting my site.
This site is dedicated to my Elmer, Cliff Cole, who became an SK in 2018. Thanks also to Cliff's son Mike!
I have always been fascinated with electronics since I was in elementary school, starting with bringing a rocket crystal radio to class and demonstrating it. We are all brothers and sisters as part of the worldwide family here on planet Earth. As Hams we can make a difference and make the world a better place with each contact we make. Peace to all. I look forward to talking with you! Worked DXCCs: Equipment I am using a Kenwood TS 830 S transceiver. My backup is a Kenwood TS 130 S transceiver.
My antenna is a G5RV at 70 ft. As of August 16, 2022 I added a Cushcraft mini vertical MA-5VA So I can work additional bands.
My Tech license was awarded in December 2016. My General was awarded in February 2017, and my Extra on April 1, 2017. My Elmer told me with only 100 watts and a wire, you can build friendships around the world, and he was right. Happy DX'ing!
