Biography

FIRST LICENSED: December of 1972 as WN6UPE, then General as WA6UPE, Advanced as KF6FM, and finally to Extra with FCC sequence-issued WU6X.

HOBBIES: RC sailplanes, fly fishing for trout and lure fishing for bass, computers, RV'ing, black powder shooting, and public service event support as a member of Sierra Foothills ARC.

BIO: Vietnam veteran, active 67-68 aboard USS Hassayampa AO-145 as a Radarman, with 11 years total service in the US Navy Reserves; honorably discharged as Petty Officer 2nd Class (E-5). My background and education is in Electronics Technology and Business Management.

Equipment


CURRENT STATIONS: Current HF equipment includes a Kenwood TS-480HX (digital modes and CW) which can also be controlled remotely from my RV while traveling, and a Yaesu FT-1000D (mostly SSB). The antenna is a 125-foot sloping, end-fed wire from 5-feet to the top of a 60-feet pine tree, matched with an MFJ-993BRT auto-tuner. This system gets me on 160 thru 6 meters. When parked in the RV, I sometimes use my Elecraft KX3 and KXPA100 amp with a homebrew 64:1 xfmr and 40m halfwave, inverted "L" off a 30-foot push-up mast. Another system used while on excursions is an Icom IC-706 MkIIG installed in my Jeep Liberty to a High Sierra HS-1800 screwdriver.
