First licensed in Chicago as KN9QCU in 1958 at the age of 14. Became K9QCU in 1959.

Came to Los Angeles in 1963 and was subsequently licensed as W6MJE (FCC mandated with call area change, "the way it should be") for more then 35 years.

Then reluctantly tried the Vanity Callsign program for the first time in 1998 with W6YYY.

Now the final chapter of my callsign journey seems to have been completed with W6TA in 2002.

So as of 2009, this currently makes 51 years of Amateur Radio, continuously, and proudly still counting.

My QTH is located near the top of the Palos Verdes Peninsula (very close to where W6AM operated) overlooking the City of Los Angeles as well as the beautiful Pacific Ocean. Being about 1,400 feet above sea level gives me an excellent take-off angle to the North and East, as well as the West. 

The K6RH (Rolling Hills Radio Club) repeater is also located at the QTH, which offers excellent coverage on 440 MHz in the Los Angeles Basin. This system is open, and is encouraged to be used by all interested amateurs in the Los Angeles area. Please check www.k6rh.org for additional information.

In conclusion, I would like to thank everybody who has taken the time to look me up. I appreciate each and every QSO and look forward to contacting you once again in the near future.
