| Biography First licensed in 1966 and active in VHF weak-signal operation ever since!
Currently the station is extremely modest. I'm just getting back "into things" after a 12 year break after retiring from teaching in 2001 and moving from central New Jersey out to California. My "big dream" was to "own a mountaintop QTH" and now I do! Well, not exactly a mountaintop, but at 2,600 feet above sea-level, I sure won't complain.
Right now I'm on 2 FM and HF. In the works is a good antenna system for 2 mtr CW/SSB.
Once that's up in the air, the next one is an original design fixed-direction array for six meters. This will be fixed SSW from here, aiming at the San Diego area. If all goes well, the goal is tropo-scatter from here to Mexico virtually 24/7 on 50 Mhz.
