I will keep it brief for my sake (and yours). I have been around Amateur Radio since the 80′s. Even so, I do like to think of myself as a newcomer. Why? Because I have worked guys on CW that make me feel like I just hit operator puberty!
About 15 years ago I upgraded to Amateur Extra. Working CW on the low bands and occasionally chasing DX is what I enjoy. I am a member of three radio clubs right now and I also like keeping up with our local EmComm happenings.
My true passion is working CW on HF or CW/QRP or CW/QRP/M. Yes, I am one of those “nuts” who have worked the paddles while driving @ 55 MPH+.
The “glory” days of the late 80’s, when the call was new and the HF bands were “loaded” during the peak of the last sunspot cycle are truly missed!
In addition to the pleasure of the low bands over the years, I have been President and Secretary and served on the Board Of Directors of local radio clubs. I also served as a Volunteer Examiner for a time, worked shelter communications during the Suffolk County, NY Wildfires, certified myself in HazMat training, and a long standing member of ECARS.

I found your website only as a result of a web search. I have never heard of you or your blog. Now I have it bookmarked. People can’t answer your polls unless they know your site exists. On what other sites are you linked? I’ll be back.

Sir,
Thank you for the bookmark. Since my time is very limited, my attention to the blog is not what it once was. I don’t really follow all the SEO stuff related to links, back links, google rankings, etc. I do keep a rough tally of the number of visitors that I have had over the past year or so. That number is only for my amusement. Should you be interested in browsing through new and used amateur radio equipment online, please consider visiting my e-commerce site at http://www.ehamstore.com
Thanks much for your comment.
Best Regards
