Biography

The picture above is me when I was 9 years old sitting at our radio station in Los Angeles. I was always the builder and fixer of things. I loved to build Heathkit kits and fix neighbors TV's and Radio's. If you look closely at the picture the transmitter sitting over my right shoulder is a Heathkit AT-1 my dad and I built. Also on the desk is a Gonset Communicator II and a Hillcrafters receiver. My son Brad is also a ham operator K6BCT as well as my brother Will, K6RUZ.

Worked DXCCs:

Equipment

On HF I have a Kenwood TS-590SG and Kenwood 440 with ground mounted verticals for 15, 17, 20 and 40 meters. I use a Yaesu FL-2100B amplifier usually running it at 500 watts on SSB

On VHF/UHF I have a Kenwood TM-G707 and Cush Craft Vertical 20 feet in the air at its base. I am often heard on the Catalina Repeater over 125 miles away with a mountain range in the way with just 50 watts and the vertical.

DX Code Of Conduct

dx code of conduct small logoI support the "DX Code Of Conduct" to help to work with each other and not each against the others on the bands.
