Past Lives
Lived in Chicago, San Francisco, Madison WI, Rochester NY, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Marco Island/Naples FL, and spend considerable time with family in Dubuque IA and Napa CA
N8KBD novice station, Icom 735 in Cleveland 1990
Previous call N8KBD. Former public broadcasting station manager, marketing communications manager, advertising agency executive, consultant
Growing up outside Chicago I discovered radio when I noticed my parent's old Zenith console model had a shortwave band. The strange sounds and occasional voices were fascinating and I was hooked. CW seemed an impossible hurdle so I got into CB, scanning, and SWL. I knuckled down in 1987 and mastered the code, then went from Novice to Advanced and am now Extra.
