I was originally licensed as a Novice in 1976 as WN2IDP in Huntington, NY, and upgraded to General later that year as WB2IDP. I come from a whole family of hams, Dad WA2QAO (silent key 1980), brothers Michael (then WA2RAT, now W7RAT) and Bob (then WA2SLY, now KC7KNY). My main ham radio interest, then as now was CW. I was real active in NTS Traffic handling nets and was the manager of the New York City Long Island CW Traffic Net (NLI). My first real job, while I was in College was at a commercial Ship to Shore cw station, Amagansett Radio/WSL when I was 17 years old in 1981. If I live long enough, I figure I may have a chance at being the oldest living professional telegrapher. I left WSL shortly before it closed in 1985, and also worked for a short time at Galveston Radio/KLC.
After 1985, I got busy with regular life. I was one of the early computer hobbyists (the High School Computer Club and Radio Club were pretty much one and the same), and that eventually lead to my career as a software developer/consultant. I lived in apartments and condos and other than a bit of VHF, was pretty much QRT. I moved to Portland OR in 1989, eventually got the call W7NUT but wasn't active. I visited Alaska a couple of times on vacation, fell in love with it and out of the blue got a contract offer here in February 2001. I was up here about 3 weeks later, figured I'd stay a year or so, and well, I'm still here and not planning on leaving anytime soon. Once I got here, I found a local IRLP node, and also started operating a bit at the Elmendorf AFB Club Station KL7AIR, and found out I still enjoyed it. My career had gone from very low tech (CW op) to high tech (software engineer), but the Code still had that magic. When we bought a house in 2005, I made sure I'd be able to put up a tower finally GOT the tower up in 2007, and I've been having a blast since.
The station and my activities have been evolvng as time goes on here. Station is currently
HF: Main Transceiver is a Elecraft K-3 with the KPA-500 Amplifier, KAT500 ATU, and P3 Panadapter. Backup/secondary is a Kenwood TS2000. I'm awaiting delivery of an Expert Amps 2K in order to have the option of a solid state legal limit option. Antennas are a Tennadyne 12 Element Log Period for 10-30, and various dipoles and inverted vees for 40-160 on a 70 foot guyed Rohn 25 tower. Future plans are for a Four Square vertical array for 40 and up and/or a loop.
VHF: Main all modes transceiver is an Icom IC910-H, with several FM Dual band backups for 2M and 70CM. Main antenna is a Cushcraft A6270-13S Triband (6M/2M/70CM) Yagi. I am the owner of IRLP Node #8919 and the antenna for that is a vertical mounted on the side of the tower.
My main activities are checking in to the Alaska Snipers Net (1800 local on 3.920), cw ragchewing and dxing, and recently, I've been active on 20 and 30m PSK31 and RTTY. I can also sometimes be found on the IRLP Alaska Net Reflector (node 91090). I'm a member of SOWP and FISTS. I like to travel and have operated as HB0/KL7SB,TF/KL7SB, CR6RI, and J79SB.
A few years ago just after my tower went up, but before anything other than wire antennas were actually on it, a strange man knocked at my door. His name was Allen Brier and his call was N5XZ. At the time he was on a "2 on 2 off" schedule for one of the oil patch consulting companies and he was just curious who the owner of the tower was. We chatted a bit and operated a bit. Even thought it was only 100W and a dipole, I guess he could see I still had some cw chops. The Local Radio Club was desperate for a cw op for Field Day and he talked me into it. That was pretty much the stab in the heart to my finances and free time. I loved contesting as a kid, though I was never *that* serious about it, and it just all came back at that Field Day. Did a few more at the KL7AA Club Station, eventually got invitations from a couple of the big M/M contest stations and .I'm hooked. Gee, thanks Allen :)
Please QSL via my manager Buzz NI5DX for all contacts from Alaska and J79SB. Please QSL directly for TF/KL7SB and HB0/KL7SB. Bureau will be answered but very very delayed. I am on LOTW and eQSL but sometimes take a while to upload.
