I was born in a home my father built.

No, Really I am a Third Generation Ham Operator.

I am from a family Blessed or cursed full of Ham Operators.

My Grandfather's call sign was 3HA, one of the very first Third District Amaetur Radio Call Signs.  His call was issued before the FCC was founded.  My brilliant Father Malcolm Wiseman, W3GVG was a self taught machinist for the US Navy Yard and an Electronics Engineer with the Army Dept.  Both Dad and Grandad are now (Silent Keys) and they are missed dearly. I beleive I come from good stock as they say.  As a young lad I learned RF theory repairing and recycling old railroad rigs for use on the 2 meter Ham band.  Climbing towers and installing amateur antennas  I learned quite a bit of structural and mecahnical expertise.  During these fundamental years I performed consideral antenna and tower work for the Old Timer Masters (YOU KNOW THE GUYS THAT CANT CLIMB ANYMORE) My Dad's associates and my Golden Friends.  I enjoy to this day the knowledge obtained while kit building Heathkit Projects and learning technical electronics.  Learning antenna hardware and theory at such an early age was fascinating.  I was fortunate to have studied advanced electronics and radio theory under the my dad's and expert tutiledge.  Being bestowed with this knowledge prepaired me for a 12 year contract with the United States Navy.  During my hitch I learned and performed Avionics Maintenance as a Collateral Duty Inspector and Quality Assurance Officer.  I am a Past President and present active member of the Capitol City Amateur Radio Society (CCARS). Also a proud member of OMIK.  I now specialize in Instrumentation automation control systems and remote control networks, with focus on the Wastewater Industry Legacy Systems.  I currently hold an ISA CCST Level III Certification.  In general I just love chasing clear blue skys and ELECTRONS.
