Thanks for stopping by. I live in Tehachapi Calif. with my wife and two dogs. I run an Icom IC 706, and Yaesu FT-890. My antennas include an 80 meter delta loop fed with open wire, and allows operation on 6m-80m. I also use an open wire fed 20m delta loop. I also enjoy amateur astronomy and astrophotgraphy (pictured is M81: Bodes Galaxy). Please checkout my other photos at: http://flikr.com/photos/cygnusloop. I am a retired manager from the Los Angeles Department of Water & Power with 37 years of power plant and substation operations.
