Hi there,

Thanks for taking a look at my bio, I hope its because of a good QSO and not a bad experience.

I am a rather new ham, been listening for years, received my first ham equiptment in '84 but never pursued a licence until 2007. I had a friend in Az.(my bigest influence(kk7ok) who planted the seed back in 1997 and it just took a few years to germinate.

I have received my Extra licence and I have determined that I will not remain an Extra Lite, I love CW and will achieve my 20+,but until then PLEASE remember that this is a new language to me and I am learning, I WILL get better. PBPWMGINFWMY

Each one of You that I talk to as well as the folks I can only hear, instantly becomes a mentor to me and for that I thank you.

My name is Mike and I am now a Troll ( I live below the Mackinac  Bridge now) residing about 50 mi. NW of Detroit Mi.

My Rig is an Alinco DX 70 th and I use the W5GI Mystery Antenna set up as an Inverted V, streched East to West. I use a 100 Watt Max on ssb and usually 10 watts cw.

Love to Hunt, Fish,  Camp and  do Photography and I am a Carpenter by trade. Oh ya lets not forget metal detecting love to metal detect,a DFX man here. Later all,

 I hope to see you In the air as well as on it, God Bless. II Peter 3: 9-10
