I was born in 1947 and went into the Army in 1967 with the Army Security Agency as a Morse Code Intercept Op for 4 years. After the Army, I went to work with the U. S. Postal Service for 34 years and I retired as the Postmaster of Trussville Alabama in Dec. 2005. My wife Mary (K4MNT) and I have 5 grandchildren that all live too far away, but we visit them as often as possible. I went back to college after the Army and got my B. S. degree in 1978 from Jacksonville State University. I was first licensed as a Novice in 1979 as KA4LKZ and Extra in 1981. I love to chase DX on 6 meters thru 160 meters. I got too busy with work in 1987 thru 2008 and was off the air during that period of time. In Feb 2009, I bought some new equipment and got back on the air and I enjoy every minute I can operate. I especially like the new WARC bands and RTTY, PSK31, etc., but I still look for those new countries on CW. Equipment is an Kenwood TS-990s, SPE EXPERT 2K - FA, HA8DU DU3000T Antenna Tuner, Tennadyne T12.10-30HD,  6 meter Cubex Quad "Killer Bee", G5RV, etc. Ham Radio is fun! Hunting is fun! Shooting is fun, but my friends take some advice from an old key pounder. They are not the most important thing. Please don't wait as long as I did to let JESUS in your heart and give Him your life and service. CUL and 73's,Terry!
