Greetings from West Monroe, La. EM32 Ouachita parish. Previous calls were KB5YX, N5KWB and am now WD5TL. I have been living in West Monroe since March of 2003. I am Assistant EC for Ouachita parish, Louisiana Section Traffic Manager and net manager for the Louisiana Slow Net. (Monday & Thursday nights at 6:45 p.m. on 3.573 mhz. I can be found on most bands but my favorites are Six and Two meter operating SSB/CW. My equipment is two Yaesu 897/s. One is a D and the other not but both work very well. I use wire dipoles and wire verticals on hf. ON six I have a home brew 4 element yagi at 32'. On two I have 11 elements at 38'. This has to be the greatest hobby and since 1986 I have been hooked on Ham Radio. 73 Tom WD5TL
