IN 1972 I WAS A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT AT BARRINGTON HIGH SCHOOL. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE THAT THEY HAD A HAM CLUB AND OFFERED THE DEVRY ELECTRONICS CLASS. I ENDED UP WITH MY ADVANCED BEFORE I HAD MY DRIVERS LICENSE. I WAS VERY ACTIVE ON THE HF BANDS BACK THEN WITH MY DRAKE TR3 USING AN HY GAIN 18AVT VERTICAL AND A TH3JR YAGI. I WENT OFF TO THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS BUT THEY DID NOT HAVE AN ACTIVE CLUB SO NO HAM RADIO FOR THE TIME BEING UNTIL AFTER GRADUATION FROM KU.

ACTIVE ONCE AGAIN IN 1982 ON 2 METER & UHF FM. BACK ON HF AROUND 1999 WITH AN ICOM 730.

MY CURRENT STATION: ICOM IC-7000 ~ DENTRON 160-10M LINEAR AMP ~ FAN DIPOLE ANTENNA (75 /40/20 METERS) ~ ANTRON A99 + GP4 VERTICAL (10-12 METERS). ~ MOSLEY TA-33-M YAGI (10-15-20 METERS)

ONCE THE SUNSHINE SHOWS UP I GO MARINE MOBILE, ON TWO METERS, OUT ON MY BOAT "BAD ATTITUDE" OR CORVETTE MOBILE IN MY 1992 ZR-1.
