Biography

My amateur interests focus on VHF UHF operations. I have been on the 6m band since 1965 and it remains my special interest. Modes include SSB, CW, and digital.

I have developed my station for 6m thru 23 cm bands, home-brew SSPA and LNA to stacked YAGIs for each VHF/UHF band.

I maintain a HF capability primarily for liaison. Occasionally, I operate CW, RTTY, and weak signal modes on 80 thru 10m.

For "grey nomading" and WICEN activities, my mobile provides 80m thru 70cm capability with Voice, CW, Packet, and digital modes.

I am also interested in EME. 4x 7el X Yagi AZEL with MHLNA IQ+ dual channel receiver and SSPA on 2m.

I am a member of the WIA and ARRL.
