Hi Everyone!  My name is David Fidler.  (Only the FCC and the North Carolina State .gov use my first name.)  I've been a Ham since 1994 when I became a No-Code Tech.  After losing interest in 1998 (thanks Internet)  I had my interest rekindled thanks to the Ham Radio forum on AR15.com .  Thanks Guys!  So in July of 2010 I upgraded to General and in September of 2014 I upgraded to Extra.  My current station consists of a Yaesu FTdx-1200 transceiver (sweet radio!) feeding a homebuilt OCFD that is up about 25'.  I really need to get that higher up.

All of this came about thank to Bob Cooley WA4MQW.  He was the first actual Ham that I met and he kindled my interest in this great hobby!  Thanks Bob!!
