Hello everyone. Has been a while since i updated my information. Life is going well at our house. Twins are now 17 and growing like weeds. Loop antenna is going strong and is a real star performer for both DX and NVIS work! updated info is that i was named the ARRL Assistant Section Manager in mid August 2012 my specialized field being HF nets and development as well as recruitment of members into the field of NTS and traffic handling. If you're interested in knowing more please feel free to drop me a line i am always open to new ideas! To me this is still the greatest hobby in the world! When i'm not on the NTS nets in the morning's i can be found chasing DX on the upper bands and lately conditions have been very good! xyl Debbie is also getting very interested in chasing DX on the HF bands and i have to admit she is pretty darn good at it! If you hear either of us on the bands feel free to stop in and say hi.Very 73 to all our friends!.Brian/W9BGJ & Debbie/KB9DEB
