I have been a ham radio operator since 1991.I was first started in the hobby in High School.We had a club station that I was very active in.The call was VE3SEC(Selkirk Electronics Club) I hold another callsign of VE3FAL,this is the callsign that was issued to me when I got my ticket in 1991.My interests are c.w., and QRP operations.I also enjoy field day.The callsign VA3SBB represents a beacon that I run on 28.241 mHz,running 5 watts into an Antron 99.SBB stands for Sturgeon Bay Beacon.Sturgeon Bay is a bay located on the Northwest shore of Lake Superior.I lived near the bay for 30 years.The bay has been used by various pleasure craft to take shelter when the waters on the big lake get rough.Various sail boats and yahts have took shelter in this bay for years.Anyone hearing the beacon can e-mail me at: flesnick@tbaytel.net...I have a certificate that I send out to all correct reports of the beacon.Just tell me the date and time you heard the beacon,and the contents of the beacon text.And don't forget to include your address. 73 from Thunder Bay, Fred Lesnick VE3FAL/VE3SEC/B
