Shown above is my mobile station which is now QRT as I have upgraded my vehicle and have yet to outfit it with HF.

My oldest son is KC2ODP and is a fantastic kid and is a senior at Yale (excuse the proud Dad!). He received his General ticket at 13 WPM after studying the Morse Code for one ("1") whole day! Although not his passion, I am glad he has his ticket, and it may come in handy in the years ahead.

My younger son is also a fantastic kid and is a senior in high school. He will be attending Hobart & William Smith College in Geneva, NY this coming fall. He does not have his ticket, but I hope he pursues it some day.

I have been a Ham since I was 14 (original call WN2VLN) with my friend N2TM (ex WN2TZM) and have enjoyed every minute of it, rag chewing, DXing, and contesting!
