I got my first novice ticket in 1963 at the age of 16.  I was active off and on because service time and trying to raise a family.  I retired about two years ago and now I am very busy with the hobby.

     I love to Homebrew and operate QRP.

I am using a FCC-2 MKII DDS, from NorCal,  for the heart of my 9 band QRP Xcvr that is pictured.  It is working great. I still have a few bugs but will work them out.
