I have been interested in electronics since Junior High School days in the
1940's. I attended the Army Signal Corps School at Fort Monmouth, NJ in 1946
and was enrolled in the Radio Operator class. After college and seminary I
resumed my interest in ham radio, thanks to my Elmer, the late Lloyd Tysdal,
W7FSP. I got my Conditional License in 1955 while living in Dillon, Montana. My
call was W7ZLP. When I moved to Minnesota in 1957 my call was changed to K0IUC,
the call I have at present. For over forty years my main interest in ham radio
has been chasing DX. At the beginning of 2007 I have one "entity"
left to work. I also enjoy weekly skeds with friends around the country, some
of which I have kept for over 40 years. In retirement I have more time to
devote to the hobby, although other interests also take my time: reading,
family history, walking, and travel. Its a great hobby and I've met a lot of
nice people. My two sons are also hams.
