I first recieved my tech licence as KD7DFM in November of 1998, I mostly worked local repeater traffic on 2 meters, a little ATV and I bounced a packet off of MIR. I decided it was time to explore the rest of Ham radio so I spent some time studying up for my General Licence. I just started working HF in June of 2002 and I'm having a ball with it. My Station is an ICOM 706MKIIG connected to a roof mounted Cushcraft R-7.
