Biography
I started the hobby of ham radio in 1962 while in school and have been active ever since. Learning the electronics aspect of the hobby has been an asset in my careers in military, law enforcement & civilian life.
As I travel the world, it's been fun to talk to hams in all parts of the world and actually meet enough folks in person occasionally.
Otherwise, I try to be "active" as much as possible on the HF BANDS and work local & DX stations.
Equipment

Yaesu FTdx-5000 HF Transceiver
Heathkit AMPLIFIER SB-1000
