I am originally from Rochester, NY, and was first licensed at age 10 with the Novice call of WN2TJR. I upgraded to General class inwith the call WB2ZFM. I received my Extra class ticket in 1978 and I have had the call AC2K since then. I operate almost 100% CW. I love to rag chew, so please give me a call for a chat anytime you hear me on the bands

I run a pair of Elecraft K3 rigs. The amplifier is anACOM1000.My antenna is a delta loop antenna at 110 feet. Neighborhood restrictions don't allow any antennas, so my loop is very stealth but works exceptionally well all bands 80 through 10 meters using a Palstar AT-4K tuner. I also have an IC-7000,TS-830S and a TS-120S as well as a number of standalone receivers.

I have been in the emergency communications field for 40 years, spending most of those years as a director of regional 9-1-1 communications centers in Rochester, New York, Ramsey County (St. Paul) MN, and in Bellevue, WA. and then directing the statewide interoperability program for the State of Washington. I am currently employed full-time as a public safety communications consultant.

I am a member of the ARRL, a life memberof the Rochester Amateur Radio Assoc. (RARA) ,FOC (#1851), FISTS (#8063), CW Ops (#35) and the Radio Club of Redmond
