Greeting from S. Central Washington State!

I enjoy Ham Radio, particularly aspects of antenna performance and radio wave propagation (a science and an art.) Rarely pass-up a Rag-chew via any mode.  Background includes HF-UHF communications op, analyst and/or consultant for the USAF & Joint military operations.  Also twisted wrenches to service and repair flight/power control systems on jet fighter aircraft, specifically the F-15 A-D.

CURRENT ANTENNAS:

HF:

10m vertical, 5/8th (MAX 2000)  Tweaked the coil and added GP elements for 10, 12 & 15 meters.  Antenna is roof mounted @ 38' with a fiberglass mast to reduce noise.  Good to excellent performance on 10-15m.

80M OFFSET-DIPOLE (WINDOM, Vertical radiator design) @ 40'. Good performer on 80,40,20 & 17M.

VHF/UHF:

2M/440 DIAMOND X510HDN @ 38'.  Excellent performance
2M/440 DIAMOND X-50NA @ 25'.  A remarkable general ops & test antenna.
2M HOME BREW "Double Copper Cactus" J-Pole" @ 15'  Simple design, reliable performance.

Prior calls & ops:

KB7IZE 89' - 93' (Mobile, 10-15m)

KA8ZE (Auxilliary Military Radio station, Misawa AB, JP, USAF, 90' - 93'.) HF DX, AMTOR, PACTOR, RTTY, CW and VHF simplex voice & packet.  SATCOM and Moon-bounce.

AFA8TM MARS, (Far East Japan.91'-93')

N3OLO (Ft. Meade, MD 93' - 95') 2m/70cm repeaters, simplex FM & packet.  HF DX

KD5LCD (San Antonio, Kelly AFB, TX. USAF, 96' - 04')  HF DX

KF7RFK (Yakima, WA, 11' - 12') SATCOM & Simplex VHF.  As always, HF.
K7RFK (Vanity call, dropped the low grade "F" for CW brevity hihi)

Hope to QSO!

I was first licenced in March 1973. I came on the air with a Heathkit HW-101 Transceiver and a G5RV antenna. The HW 101 was later replaced with a Yaesu FT-101B Transceiver, and a home made 3 Band 2 Element Cubical Quad completed the antenna farm.In 1977 other pursuits had to be given priority, and I became inactive. I sold my station in the same year and I was QRT. I never imagined at the time, it would be 27 years before I would be back on the air again.
In January 2004 I was able to return to the hobby. My Station comprised of an Icom-746, and once again a G5RV antenna. What a joy it was to be back on the air! Later, a Carolina Windom 80, and a Carolina Windom 80 Special replaced the G5RV.
Having retired in October 2006 after a 44-year career in the Public Service, I now have more time to play radio. There have also been a number of changes to the station since 2004 as well.
My current station comprises – a 5 Band Heavy Duty Spiderbeam at 10 meters above ground. (I still have my Carolina Windoms). A Yaesu FT-950, and a Icom IC-7410.
Since putting up the Spiderbeam, entries in my log have certainly increased from the many pile-ups I have been in. My favourites bands are 17, 15, 12 and 10 meters. I also get on 40 meters occasionally.
I do not chase DX. I have no need to really. I work whoever comes along. I simply enjoy giving Hams a chance to put a ZD7 in their logs. I respond to all requests for QSL Cards providing they are accompanied by 2 US Dollars (or Euro or Sterling notes) and an SAE. PLEASE! do not send coins or stamps. AND do not QSL via VE1AIH who was my QSL Manager. (He is now a Silent Key anyway). Getting a card back to you could take 3-8 weeks, this is beyond my control, as ZD7 land does not have an air service. So please be patient.
