Renewed my interest in radio after over two decades in absentia, I worked my first DX contact in 1988. I currently hold a General class license and will pursue obtaining the Extra as time permits, which I plan to achieve eventually. I have been working with Part 90 radios as part of my business for several years, which was another motivating factor in my decision to go "full ham." I would like to get a vanity so that my callsign is shorter and less cumbersome for others to remember.

My wife will be taking the Tech exam this summer so that she can enter into the hobby. If she is going to be exposed to RF radiation here at the house she might as well have a license too. I have two children, the oldest boy is 9 and he shows a lot of interest in radio. He wants to be a ham operator, however, he also wants to be Iron Man Tony Stark. My daughter likes to sit next to me when I DX. Her favorite is the Australian broadcast on 9.58. That's my favorite too, reminds me of when I lived in Brisbane.In 1992 I earned a technical degree at a trade school in Iowa, and although that was in electronics, I made a career as a computer programmer. It has been more recently that I have become interested in electronics once again, and thus established a service center in my home where I restore antique radios as well as other electronic related interests.
