I was first licensed as WN3NDK in 1969 when I was 15 years old, still in high school, and living in Waynesboro, PA.  My first TX was home brew, with transformer-less power supply, using a 50C5 oscillator tube, built on a scrap piece of masonite, and running 10 watts. My RX was a vintage Harvey Wells R9-A. After a few months of working the Novice bands with just three crystals, I upgraded to General with the call WA3NDK.  Shortly thereafter, I built and operated a Heathkit DX-60B w/VFO.  I operated 40 and 15 meter CW, and some AM on the 10 meter band. During my college years and early years of marriage, I was inactive in ham radio until I moved to Virginia in 1982.  There I changed my call to N4HUS and continued using the DX-60B and R9-A.  In 1987, I purchased my first solid state XCVR, a Ten-Tec Argosy II. In 1998, I moved to Sierra Vista, AZ and continue to use the Argosy II from my high desert (4000 feet ASL) QTH. I enjoy CW on 40 and 20 meter bands.
