I was first licensed in 1966 as WN6TRR in Fremont Calif, then became WB6TRR. I had a great Elmer, Bob Harris WB6OKE, now W6FV. My family farmed vegetables along the East Bay shore when the Bay Area still had farms and orchards. A new ham, I joined the Hayward Radio Club which at that time held their meetings in an old quonset hut. It was there that I first met Bob Vallio W6RGG. In 1972 I moved to Santa Cruz County where I met Dave Rowley WA6UZA, now N6RZ  SK.  It was Dave who introduced me to contesting and the NCCC. Dave also shamed me into upgrading both my license and CW skills. I became AA6T and held that call until 2003. I spent 32 years with Pacific Bell in Santa Cruz County, starting in Outside Plant and then 22 years in Electronic Switching Systems. In 2003 I purchased my 4 acre home near Hilo Hawaii and in 2004 I retired and moved over. I took a couple of years off and it was during that time that I built this station. The Hilo based Big Island Amateur Radio Club (BIARC) members helped assemble the AN Wireless freestanding towers and M2 antennas along with providing lots of encouragement. The station was designed and built as a Multi 2 Contest Station. There are two identical operating positions in the shack, making operator and band changes a no hassle event. The antenna system currently consists of 2 towers with large M2 monobanders 40 thru 6 along with a tribander. On 80 we have a 4 Square vertical array with an extensive radial system. On 160 we transmit using a shunt fed tower. Beverages are available for receive on 80 and 160. We use networked PCs running N1MM logging software. It takes quite a bit of maintenance to keep the station up and running. While all the guys in our QSL photo regularly contribute to the KH6LC contest effort, it's mainstays Curt Knight AH6RE and Ken Brown N6KB who've really put forth the ongoing time and energy to keep it up and running well.
