W5WOM Robert P. 'Bob' Carrick Clint, TX QCWA # 28030 Chapter 64

I was born/adopted out of Quincy, Illinois (1955) but grew up in Albuquerque, NM. Due to my father's employment we moved to Nebraska in 1970. I was first licensed in Omaha, Nebraska c.1970 as WN0DHR with the help of Elmer, Ray Dusatko (SK), W0SPL (A great man and we both played the Tuba!). I then earned my General...WB0DHR. The day after High School Graduation I moved back to Albuquerque, NM and became WB5MZF. I Acquired my W5WOM after my father passed away in 1997. It was his call number since 1951. He had been a ham since 1938.

I am still active on CW/SSB and a BIG THANK YOU to the people who put up some antennas for me since I can't do that anymore. I now have a 160 meter loop up 20-25 feet, full size 160 meter dipole, and a GAP Titan. The long lasting results of a terrible car accident back in 1972, hard mining work, heavy industrial jobs and standing and teaching all day, my severe arthritis finally took its toll on me. I am retired with Social Security Disability And A Small School Pension.

OMISS Number Is 3267

Straight Key Century Club Number Is 11211

I Enjoy Long QSO's And Making New Friends.

73,
