NOTES:

I have only been licensed since November 2010 and still learning much each day of operating. Currently learning all I can about digital modes and operations. Enjoying PSK-31 on any open bands.

Have been around amateur radio most of my life as my father has been a lifelong ham himself, or at least as far back as I can remember. He and my great grandfather were hams long before I was born in late 1960's.
