After 2 years on north Camano Island, Wa, we have established a permanent QTH 17 miles southeast in Marysville, WA, CN87vc.  No antennas up at this point, but there should be something up in the air by the time the June ARRL VHF contest rolls around.    Also in the works is a 6m KW solid state amp to improve the meteor scatter operation.

First licensed in Minnesota in 1964 as WN0KFJ, later WA0KFJ, WA9YKE, WA6VLM, WB7APK, KC7CO

Major areas of Interest:

HF/VHF Digital Communications

Satellite Communications/Meteor Scatter/EME/Weak Signal

Software Defined Radio

Usually found on 50.260 Meteor Scatter Sunday mornings at 1230-1600z. JT65A on 14.076 and 28.076 evenings.
