I started in the radio hobby in the 1960's doing shortwave, and later AM broadcast band, DXing. Received my first license in 1972 while a high school student in New York. I have held this callsign since relocating to Texas in 2001. Any inquiries or comments relative to K5FO from prior to 2000 should be addressed to Chuck, K7QO, as he is the former holder of this callsign. 73/ See you on the bands!
