Biography

First on the air in 1965 as WN7CSK, then WA7CSK, KT7H in the early 1980s, then K7VVV and finally got K7RA, which belonged to my friend Home Spence, ex-W7EXM, who died in 1991. This will be my last callsign change!

I've been writing the ARRL Propagation Bulletin since the spring of 1991, about a week before Homer died. He collapsed on the sidewalk in front of his Belltown condo on First Avenue in Seattle, of a sudden and massive heart attack. He was 50 years old. I was really counting on him to help out with the bulletin!
