Biography

My first license was issued in 1979 as KA8GQM, then in 1983 as an Advanced with the call of KC8NT, then in 1985 as a 20WPM Extra class as NN8B the call I currently hold.

I favor CW and Digital modes, seldom on SSB. My mic is around here somewhere hi hi.

I have collected numerous J.H. Bunnell keys and many Vibroplex and other brands of bugs.

Am a member of SKCC (36T) and LICW and QCWA.
You can learn CW by joining LICW they are a great group to be part of.
