| Biography I was medically retired from the US Navy in 1988 due to a back injury. We moved from Virginia Beach, VA to Floyd County Virginia in 1994 and haven't looked back yet. When we moved up here, I set up a wood shop for my hobby, and that ended 3 years later when I fell into the table saw. Luckily it was off, but all the same it brought home the fact that I was on dangerous ground. :) The falling has gotten worse over the years now, so I sold the wood shop and had to have a new hobby. I got to thinking, I had enjoyed CB or 11 meters back in the late 60's and 70's and had liked learning about the electronics side of it. I went to the ARRL's website and bought the Technician book and haven't looked back since. While it took me awhile to go from Tech to General it was due to the pain killers I had to take. :( Once I got my General I have enjoyed HF an awful lot. Don't get me wrong here, I enjoyed the 6, 2 meter and 70 centimeter bands especially sideband,and still do but on HF I have met an awful lot of wonderful and interesting people. Equipment I have an Yaesu FT-2000D with the DMU for it. I also have the following Yaesu equipment; | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
