At age 15 back in 1932, I started radiating radiowaves as W5CPB and was living in the Texas Panhandle. Activities were: RX, TX and antenna constructs; ORS; AARS; contests; and DXing. My first 80M crystal turned out to be on a Naval Communications Reserve drill freq; so at age 17 I enlisted in the USNR; got training cruises on old four pipe destroyers; and then in summer of 1941 got called to active duty. The Navy did provided me with training and travel, sometimes exciting and sometimes dull, and in 1946 returned me to inactive duty. I stayed in the USNR and went to work for the Naval Research Lab. HF over-the-horizon radar research was my main work area, so I have had lots of experience with really high gain antennas and very high power. Some of the station callsigns where I've operated are W5CPB, W5CPT, N5CPB(USNR drills), W5DNT(portable station), W3CPB, W3NKF, W3CP amateur, and NAFL, NAFC, NKF, NAG Navy.
