Hello from Rockvale, TN. My name is Gary Page and this is all about my adventures in Ham Radio. A little about my family first: Sue and I are enjoying our 29th year of marriage. Our son Jim is an electrical engineer working in industry out of the nest in NC. Dad a WWII vet is still with us and doing fine; but not as good as last year. We had 4 dogs 5,7,15 and 85 Lbs, my big Liz of 17 years had to be put down this year broke my heart. We live in Rutherford County, TN on 4 acres. I work in the telecommunications industry, now going on 32 years and counting as a electrical engineer. My past assignments ranged from design and development, test engineering to engineering management. I currently manage a department of telecommunication power engineers. I served in the USAF and USAFR for 8 years and was honorably discharged in 1980. I passed my technician and general class 1/2007 and the extra in 5/2007.  I enjoy both the 2M and HF bands. My hobbies are radio, camping and building anything…I Hope to see you soon on the radio, 73s.
