Biography

I got my tech license back in '95 as KE6SEF but have done very little with it. Since I'm in a place that is so far removed from the lower 48, it just kind of made since to start breaking out the gear. Passed the AG test 10/6/2012. Got the new callsign (KL7SRC) officially on 10/16/12. Got the callsign to reflect both my current ticket and the AK location. Now spending more time on learning CW, I have a LONG ways to go.

The QTH is actually in North Pole, AK, about 20 miles SE of Fairbanks.
