I was licensed as W1LWA in March 1939 and have operated most of my ham career on CW.  Initially I worked all the contests and many traffic nets, Also 225 DXCC.  WW2 was in Navy as radioman in aircrew flying Vega Ventura  PV 1 in Caribbean and Pacific.  I have resided in Ohio since 1963 when my call was changed to W8FLX .I recently moved into a condo in Lancaster OH and due to antenna restrictions I am using indoor dipole to operate on the HF bands. The rig is a IC-756PROII on 20, 15 & 10 meters CW. Member of Lancaster and Fairfield County Amateur Radio Club. Also use CQ100 and EchoLink for ham radio when conditions are bad.  Also have web camera and use Skype.    I enjoy and play golf at every opportunity The XYL, Lucy, and I married January 1951 and she shared many ham radio adventures with me. She passed away September 2010.

Ham radio is the greatest hobby, Hope you are having as much fun as I am on HF and CQ100 or Skype. 73. Ray . _._
