I
    enjoy building equipment as much or more than actually
    operating.  Several of my creative endeavors  have been documented in various amateur publications.  I have provided pictures of many of my
    recent projects.  I have done some unusual things like
    bouncing microwave signals off of the moon on 10 GHz.  The
    picture shows me at my "nostalgia station", all
    equipment available new when I was first licensed in 1966.  I've been an Extra Class
    Amateur and First Class Commercial Radiotelephone licensee since 1968.  My
    "glorious" peak of activity was in 1994, when I was Central States VHF Society
    President and sponsored the Society annual conference in
    Memphis.   
    Along the way I also obtained an FCC First Class Ratiotelephone Operator License (now General
    Radiotelephone Operator License).  I also hold the Ship Radar Endorsement.  I
    used my license to service two way radio equipment as well as to operate an AM/FM
    broadcast station (WMPS).  |
