About me: (KC8VWM)

SWL since 1974. Many years before becoming a licensed ham. Used to enjoy listening to a 1940's dusty Stromberg Carlson floor model SW reciever (Model SW 55 - The one with the green colored magic tuning eye located in the center, just above the main tuning dial.) It all started when the "junk radio" my parents "threw away" in the garage became my source of interest on many chilly evenings.

I like to collect and restore vintage military boatanchor equipment - Just military radio's only. Collectable Navy, Army and Airforce rigs make up much of the equipment in the shack.

I like everything from working  the solar powered FT-817ND QRP rig on CW on field day, to playing with the big dogs in the SSB contests using the FT1000mp MkV. 

I often explore VHF and above using the FT 847 and the tube VHF amplifier. I like to play with digital radio modes, engage in weak signal work, shoot the birds, track the space station or sometimes I watch the waterfall while searching the sky for EME communications.
