Originally licensed in March of 1962 as KN3SME, over the years I have become a weak signal addict. I am QRV from 160 M through 6 Meters. I spend most of my time at the two ends of the spectrum. As of October 2009, I have worked 257 countries on Topband and 87 on 6M. On 18 Nov.2001 finished 6 meter WAS. I have also operated as G0/K3SME and 7J1AJN/3 from Osaka, Japan. My other hobby interest is Bluegrass music. I play 5 string banjo and mandolin. 73, Sid
