You might also find me on the GNOARC repeater W5UK/R (444.2/ 449.2 MHz

as a Novice in 1974 I operated a B&W 5100 transmitter and a Realistic
DX-150A receiver. Antenna then was a Gotham V-160 vertical. / Later I
received a Yaesu FT-101EE as a high school graduation gift from my Grandmother.
I upgraded to General then Advanced in 1976. 1977 brought a tower and
a Cushcraft ATB-34 for DXing. / I also obtained my Second then First Class
Radiotelephone licenses. I have been involved in the communications industry
since. I was a Coast Station operator for KEC in the late 70’s. / After returning
to college and earning my BS, doing some broadcast engineering along the
way, I became involved with telecommunications & SCADA systems in the
oil and gas industry. / Married in 1989, my wife and I moved to the current
QTH in 1990. / Since then the station has been evolving. / I received my
pilots license in 1986 and in 1994 bought a Cessna C-150D. When I’m not
fooling with radio stuff – I’m out flying - so tell me about yourself there
