Hi Howard,
Thanks for the welcome, I almost said thanks for the QSo. When I first got
on I was a tech. my first radio was a Drake TR22 C I think. that was back
in the 70's. it was a crystal rig, I think they called them rock bound. I
might be wrong about that. I later moved to a moble home where I had a 10
meter antenna and the sun spot cycle was in my favor. I later upgraded to a
general class liscense and I got a Kenwood. TS 440 I think it was. that was
a wonderful radio. I really enjoyed working 40 meters. I have tried
recently to work some on 2 meters and some on 440 but haven't found to much
going on. I now live in an apartment. so I am quite restricted. also,
back in the days of doss, I was using a speech program called ASAP. it had a
built in feature called ham calls I think it was. I had a t&c hooked from
my computer to my radio where I worked some RTTY. That was a lot of fun to
be able to do that. I am looking forward to trying some of the new opsions.
I will have to admit I have a lot to learn.
well, again, thanks for the welcome.
Bill Deatherage
