Retired from Raytheon Company 2000, licensed May 2005. A member of the Anne Arundel Radio Club and Denver Radio Club. Love to work psk31 on the 20 and 40 meter band with swl 20,40 rig and voice on the 2 meter fm band with icom 2200h rig. I also like to chat on echolink! Now on 20 30 and 40 meter bands CW qrp only with Hendricks PRR-3 rig. Passed "extra class" exam on 12 Jan. 2008. This could be the time for the "BIG RIG" if I can slip it under the xyl's radar! hi hi. I'm back and forth between Denver and Maryland baby sitting the grand kids. Just added the digital module to the2200h rig for fun and to check on the D-STAR network. The 2 meter band here in Denver seems to be popular with repeaters all along the front range.Home grid square is FM18qu and Denver grid square is DM79ls. Now on the list for the new KX3 from elecraft and will be the first rig that I did not build.
