I really think this is a great hobby.
I've wanted to do this since grade school. Finally in college I got my Novice Class
license. Never got on the air. |
| WB9URA |
|
In 1974 I went forward, got the license,
upgraded to Advance, and was on the air. Big-time. Eventually I had RTTY,
Packet, Fast Scan TV, and most bands. My tower stood tall. Some of the nicest
people I have ever met are my friends thru ham radio. The HF bands, or short-wave,
are my favorites. For about 10 years I was Emergency Coordinator for NW Cook County,
IL Amateur Radio Emergency Service. Great group of people. We won a few awards
and helped out during several power outages at a hospital and did great work during the
great flood of 1987. |

Linda got her Technician Class license.
She wears WB9URA on her car's plate and I use N9BHU on mine. Before the advent of
Cell Phones, ham radio was the leash. |

I highly recommend the hobby to you. If
you need help contact the American Radio Relay League, Newington, CT. |
