Member Bio

Welcome to my page!

My 1st interest in radio goes back to 1972 at a friend’s house…they had a SW radio and that started my journey! My 1st Elmer was Bill Colom K3RUJ (sk) a co-worker with my father..I remember going to his basement shack in 1977 and that was the beginning of my life long love of radio!!

Special thanks to Elmers N3TTT and AA1K

Also, special thanks to my old bud who’s travelled the same path through radio, AC3FQ

I enjoy DXing and have a real passion for contesting…..when not doing the latter, I enjoy participating in CWT and SST weekly!

Interested in learning CW? If so, check out CW Academy…they’ll put you on the right path!!!!
