Interested in electronics and short wave listening in the 60's I took electronics & instrumentation technology in college, worked in the chemical industry for 42 years. Retired now :)

Bought my first HF rig, FT-847 in 2002, then FT857D, now FTDX10 w/300Hz CW filter, SP30 speaker & M-90D desk mic. I added CatTouch & CatKnob to my FTDX10 then  CatDisplay to my FT857D, great add-ons!

Licensed in 2000, advanced in 2002

In addition to amateur radio I enjoy woodworking, motorcycling and my dog

My antennas are OCFD 6-40m and inverted vee for 20m. Soon to have Cushcraft HF7 vertical

FT-857D will be portable using wire antennas

My favorite band is 20m
