I got interested in ham radio when I was stationed on the island of Guam while serving in the Navy in 1971. I was issued the call sign of WA6OYU. The sun spot cycle was at its peek and some times it was hard to get off the radio being a portable /KG6 in those days (Now it is KH2). I keep this call until the mid 80s when I applied for a new call (I retired from the Navy) and was issued KI4VP. But as work goes I had to move back to California and in 1998 I thought I was there to stay. Applied for a 6 call and got KZ6ZZ. It was 3 years latter I got the call to startup a new power plant located in Jackson, Michigan. I am here to stay and I am not changing my call. I am still a Drake Radio fan, and here is a little about putting up my SteppIR antenna.
