Whew! All Ham Family! Now we got to work on the Grand kids. As far as myself,I have came up the ranks and acquired Extra Class in 1998. I have been a VE for ARRL & W5YI VEC, I have enjoyed Giving back to Ham radio & Helping others to get interested in Amateur Radio.

I am a Captian in our Local Fire Department in Baskin, Kudos goes out to Our Chief and all the Firefighters for Lowering our Fire Rating, from a 10 to a 6!
