Biography

Hello from sunny Kingman Arizona USA, my new QTH as of July 26, 2017, and thank you for looking at my info. I usually can be found on 20M around 14.195-14.220 MHZ; 40M around 7.140-7.220 MHZ up or down given the conditions of the bands. I am also on 17M around 18.130-18.150 MHZ or so. As of July 26, 2017 I have just moved to this state from North Pole Alaska where I lived for 55 years.My prior call was NL7HH.
I received my first ham ticket in 1985, upgraded to Tech., then General, Advanced and then by 1986 or '87 I upgraded to Extra class and have been active ever since. I enjoy, of course the work horse band, 20 meters but have recently gotten into the digital modes. I also enjoy 40 meters when it is open.
Aside from amateur radio I enjoy serving my God Jehovah as one of Jehovah's Witnesses. I enjoy helping people learn what the Bible really teaches and not what churches dictate as tradition and customs. You can find answers to Bible questions on our web site jw.org. I encourage all to take a look at this as it has something for everyone.
I also enjoy hiking, fishing, kayaking, and riding my Harleys. Oh yes, I do have toys.
