Got my Novice in October of 1962. Went off to college shortly thereafter, and
then the military, and didn't have much time for hamming. Picked it up again in
January 2001. Prefer CW, but have been known to hang out on 20m SSB or doing
digital wherever the bands are good -- the higher, the better.

shack rig is a Yaesu FT-857.. I use my Collins R-390 (a Rick Mish restoration
job) and my Yaesu FRG-100 for listening sometimes.
Mobile rig is a Yaesu FT-857D driving one of several monoband Anttron HamWhips.
I'm mostly found working CW on 40m (7100-7150), 30m, 20m, and 15m. Sometimes,
when 10m is open, I hang out between 28100 and 28300.
I've been fighting computers for a living since 1965, when I worked at the
Manned Spacecraft Center.
