I am mainly interested in the hf spectrum. Antenna's are my favorite pastime, And my other interest are homebrewing, mainly small rigs, But other gear as well. And most of all is working DX and hope to hear you on the band with my TA33.
Age is 64 and I just retired from the Electrical industry for 43 years of service, And I am currently on 20 meters on the DX net's and the SSTV 14233. QSL we qsl 100%.
