Biography
CQ CQ CQ, this is Eco Lima 2 Bravo Golf calling CQ and standing by. I am a Life Member and the president of the Liberia Radio Amateur Association (LRAA) and also a member of The River City Amateur Radio Communications Society of Sacramento, CA and a member of ARRL.
I have two additional call signs. The call signs of 9L1HR from Sierra Leone and KI6YIP from Sacramento, CA since being an operator in 1978.
I now reside in Liberia, Eco Lima Land and do pro bono work for the Government and people of Liberia, West Africa. I am a civil engineer and have been working in the engineering field since 1983.
I have an arsenal of gears that are not in use due to my living condition in Liberia. No real space for an antenna farm like I had in Sacramento, California.
My working condition consists of a Yaesu FT-857, an AT-100ProII antenna tuner, a dipole antenna and an Alinco DM-330FX power supply.
I am an amateur photographer and a student pilot. I love the outdoors and enjoy travelling all over the world.
That is my story and I am listening in for all the DX lovers to find me on all Bands.
If I am on the air in a pileup and you realize that I have dropped out of the face of the earth because you don’t hear me anymore, that means that my power is off and my source of electricity has cut off. I am still using a little generator that needs to be fueled and I am out of fuel for the night. You may not get responses from me within record time because the Internet goes off for weeks on end.
I am now retired and locked down at my qth outside of Monrovia.
