W6SMF Stanley M. 'Stan' Fleener Encinitas, CA QCWA # 37772

First Call: WV6BCO Other Call(s): WA6BCO KM6SZL

I got my Novice in 1957 as part of a school project and other than listening to a used Hallicrafters (don't remember the model), that was the extent of my early Ham hobby. Thanks to Pete Varounis-NL7XM for unearthing my Call Sign WV6BCO.

Retired now at 74 yrs old, I decided to pick that up again and actually attempt to get on the air. I'm interested mainly in CW and studying that skill at present along with prepping for the General exam in July.

Just doing alot of listening at present, have a basic dipole strung from a coral tree on backyard hill to a telescope 30' pole on house roof and a TS 590SG.

I've got a lot to learn and having fun! 73 Stan
