I have been a ham since 1965, and have held the call signs of WN4AHI, WB4AHI, WA9TEV, and KC9AD.

I've also held a commercial FCC General Radiotelephone Operator License(PG1827835)since 1970.

I am presently employed by the Indianapolis Police Department, where I train approximately 1,700 Marion and Hendricks County police and civilian employees per year to operate computer devices on our law enforcement computer system.

In 1985 I retired from the Indiana State Police. While with the ISP, I worked as a communications officer at our GHQ, an assistant chief communications officer at the Indianapolis Post, a chief communications officer at GHQ, and the section supervisor over the IDACS Section at GHQ. I also was one of the communications personnel assigned to the State Police Command Bus. This included 9 years of working the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race and qualification weekends. I also set up the radio network of the Indiana Department of Correction and trained their personnel. I also wrote the manual for and oversaw the state's Indiana Law Enforcement Emergency Network (ILEEN), which allows all Indiana law enforcement agencies to have mobile units operating on a common frequency during emergency situations.

My hobbies include amateur radio, fishing, hunting, scuba diving, meteorology, and traveling.

I love HF contests and DX ragchewing. I also love participating in emergency communications. In 1989 this interest took me to St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands to assist in Hurricane Hugo relief...an experience I'll never forget.

I have previously been a member of the Morgan County Repeater Association, Morgan County RACES, Morgan County Skywarn in Martinsville, IN, and the Midstate Amateur Radio Club in Franklin, IN.

I am currently not a member of any club; and although I still turn on my Yaesu FT-90 when I'm mobile, I now operate almost exclusively HF....using a Kenwood TS570D(G) and a dipole antenna, which lies across the attic of my two-story house.
