First licensed as KN3HLU in February 1958, received K3HLU in Fall of same year. Also was W7JEF in Montana, W4MPC in Florida TF2WKT in Iceland, and until August 2000, N4JS. You may wonder why I gave up N4JS, that I had for 25+ years. There are several reasons. Originally, I had planned to retire to Florida. It looks like that will not happen. When my Dad, W3IYQ, who was my Elmer, also, and started me off with my first license as KN3HLU back in 1958, passed away in 1995, I though about eventually trying for his call, but I wasn't in the 3rd district, and it was not a great CW call. While going through some papers a month or so ago, I found his ORIGINAL license, dated October 26, 1926, with the call 2AGN. So here I am, now W2AGN!
90% of operation is QRP CW. Looks like in the future the only way to avoid CB will be to stick to CW. Also member NAVMARCOR MARS (NNNØFBB) and Cumberland Co. RACES.
Please let's QSL the old-fashioned way. NO eQSLS please.
