In Tok, Alaska @ -40F headed to Fairbanks, Alaska to deliver in the morning.
I am 65 years old and have been on and off the air since about 1977. I own a 2004 Dodge 3500 pickup truck with a custom 42" Double Eagle sleeper. I am leased to Bennett Transport out of Bristol, IN. The sleeper has a 3kw Honda generator to run the air conditioner, heat, TV, refrigerator, microwave and so on. I live in my truck for a month or two at a time, delivering towable RV's across the US, including Alaska and all of Canada. The pickup has almost one million miles on the odometer with the original engine. My radio equipment is a Kenwood 480HX (200 watts) for 10M thru 75M. The antenna is a Hi-Q 4-80 I also run a Kenwood D700 with a G5 geosat gps for aprs and also doubles as my dual band radio. I try to check into the Satern Net on 14.265 most week days at 11am Eastern time. This is a very worthwhile net of fellow hams that join together in an effort to help the Salvation Army in times of crisis. I also check into the Real Prestigious Net on 14.305 at 2pm Eastern time. I can be followed on aprs at ( map.findu.com/h9eh-14) I am on Twitter as N9EH and also on Facebook. Hope to see you down the road. My truck cannot be missed. 73 Ellis
ps. I finally updated this page after many years due to the constant NAGING of fellow ham and friend Don McMahon N7BD. I hope this makes him happy and he will give me a break on getting my legal limit amplifier installed in my truck so he can hear me. It has only been seven years on the amp. :)
Me, nailing up my call sign at sign post villiage at Watson Lake, Yukon.
