Hello all, I have been a HAM since late 1989 and just love the hobby, I am an advanced ham with full privileges on all bands, I am rusty on CW but working on it because once long ago I could do 20wpm now I am lucky to do 5wpm :-) HIHI
Sadly for about 15 years I was not active on HF until July 2010 and now I am hooked on DX and QSO's with folks around the world. I have recently added a second call VA3FS that I will now be using as HF call as of Aug 2010.
My first call assign to me in 1989 is VE3XMS my last name Christmas (XMS) and still use it on VHF & UHF.
You can find me on the band at 7.185 when I am in the shack and I am also one of the NET controlers for the Trans Porvincial NET on 7.055
( The 40m Canadian Phone portion of the band ) Wed & Fri from 10am - 11am EST.
I am also a Accredited Examiner for Industry Canada / Examinateur accrédité pour
Industrie Canada so if you know anyone in the GTA that would like to get there HAM ticket give me a yell and I would be more then happy to test them.
