My other interests are Fishing, Dancing and Bowling. I Am still learning more about Ham Radio through the experiences shared by our fellow hams and friends on the air by way of QSO. Am happy that in Ham Radio, I met countless good friends around the world. My friendship to all is always a feeling that will never grow old. It is always warm, loving and sincere.I just hope it stays that way forever and not abused by insincerity. Thank you for your time with me and God Bless you and your love ones. 73
