Biography

Thanks for visiting my page. Bill here from Fairbanks, Alaska. I have lived in Alaska since 1982 except for a few years in New Mexico (2003-2006) but was not active at the time. I got my license in 1982ish as a novice (WL7BBB) and became an extra in about 1983. I actually held WL7BBB & KL7TC at the same time due to FCC mistakes and picked KL7TC as my final call. I ran contests with KL7IRT and then KL7RA for years but then went inactive from about 2003-2019....and am now back and building up a station my new house (only a cobweb antenna for winter). My dad is KL7XD and used his station in North Pole, Alaska for years.
