My Dad was a Ham since the early fifties but I was interested in other stuff and only after he passed away and I was informed that I could have his old call did l get a license. His call was K0AEY. I had his call until I received my Extra Lic and then got my own call. I still may change back to his.

I work CW 90% of the time, I am running a KT34XA and Mosley S-402 antenna's on a LM-470 motor drive tower up about 80 ft.

F.I.S.T. #12867
