Hello and thanks for the visit. I was first licensed in 1976 (Novice) as WN5VYR at the age of 14. I upgraded to General in 1977 and Advanced in 1978, Spend most my time on HF chasing DX and ragchewing. I frequently check into several nets on both HF and VHF. Although a little rusty, still enjoy CW and RTTY from time to time. I recently have been playing with PSK31 and SSTV I also enjoy monitoring aircraft, public service, and other utility frequencies.
