Biography
Greetings! My name is Michael J.Bisbano - W1MBZ (formally KB1TPX)
Thank you for visiting my page.
My interest in radio began as a boy in the 1960's with SWL and Citizen's Band Radio. A few friends got their Amateur tickets back then, but I never did, though thrilled as I was to watch them. Many years later, I got into illegal 11-meter foolishness, until one day when one of those old childhood buddies convinced me to study up for the test. I took both the Technician and General tests on the same day and passed both.
I really enjoy the hobby and basically am interested in HFDX phone. I also like to respond to contestants, without actually competing, just for the fun, helping them achieve their numbers and working on logging my States, Counties, Countries, Continents, Grid Squares, etc. into my logbook.
I work 160, 80, 40, 30, 20, 17, 15, 12, 10, and 6 meters.
I am a Vietnam Era Veteran of the US Navy "Seabees" and semi-retired from many years of various jobs in diverse capacities. I currently work part-time maintaining a private estate and doing odd jobs here and there, both for others and myself.
Again, thank you for visiting my page. I'm looking forward to hearing you on the air, 73!
