Thanks for dropping by. I was first licensed in 1958 as kn5sek in Amarillo,Texas . After college and Law school I moved to Miami, Florida where I was K4HWW until 1976 when the xyl (Ann) , my two son's and I returned to Amarillo ,Texas where I practice law today. My call from 1976 until 1990 was W5VGX.
