I was first licensed in 1973 in Pensacola Fla. Moved to Colorado in 1977. Now retired from camera and video repair. Rig: Yaesu FT-897. A homebrew 80-40 meter 1 tube crystal controlled transmitter running 2 watts.  My first rig was a Tempo-One that I used when I first went on the air. In August 2008 It was replaced with the Yaesu. A new rig every 35 years isn't too bad. Antennas Hustler 6 band trap vertical, ground mounted. VHF Ringo. Active on HF Digital PSK and RTTY and other digital modes. Also active in SSTV and QRP. Will QSL to all sent. I will QSL DX Direct, but I'm good with the bureau to save the cost of direct return.
