Originally licensed as a Novice in early 1970's. I was QRT from 1974 - 1986.  My primary interests include SSB, RTTY, and emergency communications. My favorite aspect of amateur radio remains good old fashioned ragchewing.

Previous calls: WN9JFD (1972), KA0WUU (1986), and WS0D (1989).

Member of LaSalle County (IL) ARES.

Certifications: ARRL accredited Volunteer Examiner Coordinator; Community Emergency Response Team (CERT);  Level 1 Emergency Communicator; FEMA IS-00100, Introduction to the Incident Command System (ICS); FEMA IS-00700, National Incident Management System (NIMS).

I am most active on the 20, 40, and 75/80 M bands. Looking forward to meeting you on the air.
