Biography

I should have gotten my license back in high school, when I was in the amateur radio club in 1974. I was a member for 3 years, the school's call sign was VE7BLZ.
I have been involved with electronics all my life in the Vancouver area, from working at Radio Shacks throughout high school, managing Active Components and Self employed in the Telecom/Security industry.
It was last fall when a member/friend visited and said I should get my Ham license.
Joined a club and got it in May 2019 and then my advanced in July.
Now I'm making up for 45 years of lost time and going very hard at it.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
