My Equipment:

I have several radios, but my main radio is an Icom IC-756PRO. The amplifier is a Heath-kit sb200 600 watts. My tuner is a Ten Tec 229 good for 2KW. The antennas are a Mosely TA33 at 55ft. on a Rohn 35 tower. The rotor is a brand new Yaesu G-450A. Also using a G5RV up 60 FT., and a Cobra inverted V up 70 FT.

Operations:

I operate SSB on 160M. 80M, 40M, 20M, 17M, 15M, 10M, 2M, and 70CM. My favorite bands are 20M, 40M, and 80M I enjoy rag chews and nets, but I really love chasing DX. I have not done much contesting, but I am very interested in becoming a contester.

About me:

I was born in 1968 at St. Luke's - Roosevelt hospital in Manhattan, New York. I grew up on the lower east side of Manhattan (Alphabet City) When I was about 12 years old, I got into short wave radio. I then got into CB when I was 14 years old. The other CBers thought I was a girl at first because of my voice at the time with puberty and all. At the age of 21, I became a truck driver with a class A CDL and all endorsements for doubles/triples, tanker, and HazMat. I ran over the road in a sleeper truck for the first 4 years and have seen all 48 states and much of Canada. I then took a job with Yellow Freight and worked for them for 10 years. I got interested in ham radio in 1997 through a co - worker and a good friend at Yellow Freight. It was N3EYQ, Paul Hintz who directed me in the right direction for ham radio.

In 1997, I passed my Novice/Technician test in Yonkers. The VE session was hosted by the Mt. Vernen/Yonkers, NY club. a few months later I got my Tech plus and bought a used Yaesu FT 901 DM and Bencher paddles. From that point on I operated CW on 40 meters 90% of the time. a few months later I got my General, and a few months after that I got my Advance ticket. I still hold the Advance class today. I used to live in Maybrook, but moved to Albany, NY when we bought our home on 12-5-05. My wife is Yasmin, KC2ETX, and we have two kids, a boy and a girl.
