I do not know the date 1976 -1977
Advanced class got to 20 but never took extra so probably never will Various radios over the years but am not that active hunting fishing work and life have gotten in the way Last year bought a Ts480 hx Just got in a t-10 log and will install it at 100 feet this summer Over the years the friends I have made through the pursuit of ham radio have become more important than the radio |

Tech circa 1995; General circa 2002 or thereabouts. I've operated in several different countries for extended periods, and am one of the first filthy gaijin to have been issued an actual JA callsign (as opposed to a 7J6). APRS, PSK/RTTY, and SSTV-capable. These days I rarely stray from 20 meters for an occasional contact. Am interested mainly in the emergency commo aspects of amateur radio; not much of a rag-chewer. Yaesu 857D (primary/mobile) Yaesu 817D RS HTX-202 Wouxun KG-UV3D

Hello to all, I knew there was talk about a HAM forum years ago, but I was not licensed then.
Tech. sometime in 2009. General...I need to study for it. Wife has Tech. also. Kenwood Dual band for home, not set up since buying new house a year ago. Sad, I know! Two Fiedaxin 2m portables Two Wouxun 2m/440 portables Just purchased, no antenna yet, Icom 718 HF with MARS MOD. I also get to play monthly at work on a MARS EMCOMM system. Bill ETA: Set up a compromise antenna (Comet CHa-250bx) on the house as I have NO trees in the yard. TS-440s TS-570 |

Extra Class Ham
General Radiotelephone w/ship radar Global Maritime Distress Safety System (GMDSS) Operator / Maintainer Former ARRL Emergency Coordinator Former Army MARS Harris (MACOM) certified simulcast tech. I don't have a ton of ham stuff any more, as I am at sea half the time. When I want to though I can get into the Maritime Mobile net or Pacific Seafarers using the ships Marine Furuno HF radios. At home, it's just a Yeasu FT-100D for a base station and whatever wire antenna I feel like building at the time. |

No, Mister Smartypants, you're wrong. I took a solemn oath to use their awesome power, never for evil, but only for the good of mankind.

First licensed 1987 as Tech, code required and 5 WPM was my max speed :(
upgraded to Extra June, 2009. (edit: 87, not 97. d'oh I'm getting old.) Multiple FT-897s and 817s, Icom 7000, primary antenna is a 43' vertical fed with a SGC coupler. I work HF digimodes almost exclusively, with a little bit of APRS here and there. |

Got my General a couple years ago...... My station consists of : FT 840 with an LDG tuner FT2800 Ft-60 Wouxun KG-UV3D I run 2 Dipoles at about 25' , one is a radioworks double bazooka 20m and the other is the windom that AFM had up here a while back. Would love to have some different antennas, or at least get them higher.... I rent a house that has a metal roof and aluminum studs (was in style on the coast for a while I guess) and have power lines on 2 sides...... the noise I pick up on HF is crazy! |
