BIO: Been dreaming of being a Ham since a kid, but 23 yrs of the Air Force, and 7 kids put a dent in it.  Then a disability hindered the ability to study, but finally got the right doctor and the right medications

I'm usually on the air during the day times, on all the bands, following DX, and the Magic Band, tweaking my shack and learning as I go.   Love DX, Rag Chewing, and making contacts when the propagation gods allow as well as making contacting with my local group buddy's the Unusual Suspects on 2 Meters. 146.565.

My equipment so far includes a Yaesu FT 950, FT 847 and a Icom IC 7000 at home, my mobile is a Yaesu FT 8800R and a Kenwood TH-F6.   Antennas Mosley TA 67N  and a M2 Halo, and HyPower Windom, plus more envisioned as I can talk the XYL into it.

Also a firearms collector, primarily military surplus, and run Fun Shoots for our brave soldiers recovering at local military medical facilities to come out once a month to shoot a variety of firearms from a .22 to a 50 BMG.  They have fun.  We shoot donated ammo, and donated firearms from my collection and from other firearm enthusiasts.   Always looking for volunteers to help.

Also a Surrogate Parent for kids who are in Special Education and locked up in a secure juvenile detention facility.  It sure is nice to leave a place with 16 feet barbed wire fences, but it's also just as nice to help kids that society has given up on.
