My name is Stan - AE7UT

 

I received my General license on my Birthday in 2010 and was given the call KF7IPW.

I passed the Extra exam 2 years later. First given AE7SR and changed to AE7UT.

 

I'm learning CW and appreciate all the help people have been.

Still plugging along at 10 WPM but trying to push it up as much as I can.

I am on almost every night on 7.140 or 7.050 ish.

I’ve been interested in Ham radio since I was a kid and built my first regen receiver, the RadioShack Globe Patrol in the Fifth Grade. Then school, a wife, kids, work and church kept me too busy to get my license. At 50 I finally decided it was now or never so I jumped in.
