Biography

Greetings from Haven Wisconsin USA!

I have been a Ham since 1987. Took a class with the W9DK ham club and passed my Novice ticket and it has been a fun time!
I especially enjoy Summer and Winter field day events.

I like to operate on 20, 40, and 160 meters and listen to the 630m band.
Starting to mess with 630m and building an 80m to 630m converter.

I started operating FT 8 with the IC-705 at 10W. Now that I have that figured out the next project is to get on 630m with the digital modes.

Hope to hear you on the airwaves!
