Future ham!!

Community resistance to my QTH change

I have been a ham since about age 14. First Elmer was K1NFW Carl Peckham (now silent key) ; he was my 1st HF QSO on 9/22/67 at 17:25 EDT on 3.738 CW, . First rig was DX-60a and matching RCVR from Heathkit which I built myself. Other Elmers in my childhood include: W1CE, W1PS, W1MPP, K1SKP, W1MGP, W1FRX, K1AXO, K1QZO, W1DFS, W1KJ, W1TDK, W1ETN, K1ZUP, W1VN, W1PGN, K1AYZ, W1HOM, and many more. WA1HLR interested me in HI-FI AM in the late 60s. I met Tim at the ARRL New England Convention at the old Ocean House in Swampscot, MA in 1967(?). I like AM (be back this summer), DXing, or just ragchewing and discussing Science and Medicine on the air. I especially enjoy DXing and ragchewing on 30M CW. ARCI #14012 SKCC #6702

You may QSLvia the mail, Buro, www.eQSL.cc or LOTW . For a sked (for Maine for WAS,etc) email me at WA1IIEsked@Xdoctorchuck.com (remove the "X" first.)I am back on the air after 3 years. look for me on 30 Meter CW from FN54CF, trying to work the last 20 or so on my 30m DX list. (I have no awards on my wall.)

If u want to find me, I listen on 10.1160/3.560/3533.0/7060.0 most nites 0000-0500Z or so, and any time I happen to be home. Using a somtimes-sick IC-735 at this time, and 30m dipole or 105ft OW fed Ctr Fed up 55ft. The FT-1000D is in the shop, still.The K-1 is built now (really, Gregg). FT-817ND added to radio family! Now I start DXCC over for QRP! Finally got a Vibroplex in the shack. I am not sure where my microphone is rite now!
