I am a ham since past ten years and I am located in a remote village. My occupation is Agriculture. I am not a graduate but studied in school and learnt to speak English by speaking to Hams in other countries on the band. I have completely 100% home brew equipments for receiving transmitting and antenna. I have my wife and one daughter ARUNA who is studying in school. I am very much interested to work more dx with my fully home brew set up. I am now operating only on 40 metres and VHF and soon I will come on 20 metres also. 73 and hope to hear many of you on the band. 73 SHAN V.SHANMUGAM ELECTRONIC SERVICES, C.VETHIPALAYAM, P.K.VALASU P.O.
