I was first licensed in June of 1999. A special thanks goes to Lyle WB0MHH who got me interested and started into ham radio several years ago.

You may hear me on the air over the summer portable from a campground somewhere. If you do hear me give me a call. I may be running the Icom IC-703+ QRP from a campsite using a variety of different wire antennas.
