ABOUT MYSELF


During 2009 I will be celebrating my 30 years of radio. I first began DX'ing in September 1979 on the 27Mhz band. I was 14 years old and I was thrilled by the amazing world of radio.  After spending almost 14 years on 11 meter band I took my HAM license. It was an open door to knowledge and pursuit, both human and technical.
