Biography
I received help from my father in law Gordon W8CT and acquired my Technician License May 2007 in Cadillac, MI. The next following month I tested for my General Class License in Hudsonville MI and passed. Afterwards with lots of studying on December 07 I received my Amateur Extra License.
With the generosity of W8CT and Silent Key Ray N8KWR I received my start collecting equipment for my ham shack. Currently it consist of a Yaesu FT100MP, FT-920, FT-890, Ameriton AL-80B linear amplifier, and home brew 3KW tuner. I use an Icom IC-208H for VHF/UHF. In the backyard I have a home brew 160 meter inverted "L" antenna along with a 40 meter vertical both designed by Gordon W8CT. I spend most of my time on 160, 75, and 40 meters with phone and some Digital. I am a Director of IT during the work day and a dad at night for 3 beautiful girls. As far as hobbies I have a passion for Amateur radio and sports(Of course when I have time). I am in the process learning CW and hope to use this mode soon.
I hope to talk to you soon down the log!
