I got my amateur license in 1972 and after a year of code got the advance license in 1973. I lived for a while in Norway House, MB as VE4DR, where the only outside communication was by radio. Then I moved to Flin Flon/Craberry Portage, MB. From there I moved to Inuvik, NT, where our group contested for Islands on the Air. I stayed there for 34 years working as a bush pilot, airport manager, area manager for a power generation company, and as a  mechanical safety inspector.I am presently living in Whitehorse on 19 acres of land where there is room for antennas.
