My Background

I began pursuing my Ham Radio License in 1976 while stationed in California and successfully passed my Novice class license with the help on an older licensed local ham, or commonly known in the Ham Radio circles as "Elmer".

I've made many worldwide contacts since those early days and I would like to take time to share my interest with you on what is considered by many as a lifelong hobby. Take a brief tour of some of the radios that I've had the pleasure of using on My Ham Radio History Page.

My interest has taken my hobby into combining radio, computers, and the internet. I've managed to now combine video into the hobby with the WD9T Live Streaming HamCam on QRZ.com. Do you like SSTV? Take a look at WD9T SSTV Cam which monitors Slow Scan Television pictures being transmitted and exchanged by other Hams.

I currently use a Yaesu FT990-C driving an Ameritron AL-811 amplifier. My antennas are a combination of a Butternut HF6V vertical for some of my DX work and a 80/40 meter NVIS antenna. This antenna was the same design from Dr. Jelinek's NVIS antenna design. Here are plans to build your own AS-2259 type NVIS Antenna. You can find additional info on NVIS antennas at DX Zone.
