Around 1970 due to a majorchange in my work schedule and a chance to return to my first love of flying airplanes I pulled the big switch on the radio room.

I returned briefly in 1985-86 and 1990-92 on Two meters. Then in 1996 got going in earnest on Two meters.

In the summer of 2003 got on Ten meters for the first time ever and really had a ball. Also bought a all band HF rig and a all band dipole and am now on almost all the HF bands.Have lived at the same QTH for 55 years. Spend a lot more time listening than talking.
