Biography

Just getting back on the air in May 2012 after inactive for last 15 years. The old equipment still works great, but recently added a rebuilt SB220 amplifier I purchased to work the pile ups a little better on DX. I traveled thru Europe in late 1960s when stationed there in Air Force and since have been to Russia and Ukraine about 4 years ago. I enjoyed meeting all the people and seeing the beauty each country offers. Hopefully when I can retire, the wife and I can visit other countries as well. In the meantime, I will enjoy DX ing and the brief chats with other stations.
