Born on April 23, 1942, in Kalispell, Montana.

Moved to Missoula, Montana by 1948.

Lived there until 1978. First licensed as WN7EKB in 1956.

Conditional Class in 1957 or 1958.

Amateur Extra in about 1962.

First Class Radiotelephone, and 2nd Class Radio Telegraph at that time, since allowed to lapse.

Became very active in traffic handling, especially on NTS, eventually becoming NCS on PAN, and took one or more TCC skeds.

Active in AFMARS, and handled many 'phone patches for the troops in Vietnam and Thailand as an AFMARS operator/station for a coupleof years.

Attended University at Bozeman, Montana, and Missoula, Montana majoring in Physics and Math.

After 1978, moved first to St. Mary's, Kansas, where I met and married my wife. Moved to Moscow, Idaho in 1981 and have been here ever since.

Am now retired from the position of Electronic Instrument Specialist, Sr. at the University of Idaho's, College of Science.

I like Boat Anchors and old-time circuits. See my web page at http://www.w7ekb.com/

Visit the Glowbugs web site, now permanently at http://www.w7ekb.com/glowbugs/

I have regained much of my old NTS skill levels, but am finding that the rheumatoid arthritis with which I am afflicted does effect my keying. I use an ancient (1936) McElroy"MacKey", and although I have tried to use a Bencher paddle and Heathkit HD-1410 keyer, I have not had much luck with them.

Recently bought a Kenwood TS-940SAT and have retired the older gear to backup status. I also use a Heathkit SB-200 amp and a Johnson T/R switch to operate full QSK. I recently bought a second SB-200, and am modifying both for full-QSK.

I am very active on NTS, and use CW, SSB, and Digital modes. I am also using WINMOR, and can QSO in most common digital modes.

I am also a member of the 600 Meter Research Group which operates on the old 600 meter (500 Khz) band.

Antenna is a prototype 55' foot tall 80/40 vertical with a trap at the 33 foot level, so the antenna loads well on all bands.

I have recently begun using both eQSL and LoTW, and have been busily uploading my old logs. I have a lot to do yet. I will also QSL direct, or via the Bureau. I have up-to-date envelopes at the 7th QSL bureau.
