Started as a Novice back in the mid 70's, and finally passed the Extra Class exam on September 14, 2002.

ARRL VEC Accredited

My home station is a Kenwood TS-2000X with a Heil Goldline Mic, coupled to an Ameritron ALS-600 Amplifier.

My mobile station is an ICOM IC-7000 coupled to an AH-4 tuner to a 108" stainless whip antenna.

Due to neighborhood restrictions, my only antennas at this time are homebrew attic dipoles, but it's managed to get me on most bands.
