I got interested in ham radio when I was stationed on the island of Guam while serving in the Navy in 1972. I was issued the call sign of WA6OYU. The sun spot cycle was at its peek and sometimes 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 1980’s when I applied for a new call, because I retired from the Navy and was issued KI4VP. But as work goes, I had to move to California and in 1998 I thought I was there to stay. I applied for a “6” call and got KZ6ZZ. It was 3 years later 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. Here is some information about putting up my SteppIR antenna.
