Member of Ogden Amateur Radio Club, Ogden, Utah, USA. Celebrating our 100th anniversary.
I was first licensed in 1958 at age 14 as Novice class (Kn7HCP)
and then later that same year upgraded to General class. I have not upgraded since.
I was very radio-active for the first 10 years and then became
mostly inactive while raising my family and earning a living.
I recently retired from IBM Corporation after 33 years as a
hardware field service engineer in the Salt Lake City Utah area and then as a
hardware/software development engineer for IBM (Point of Sale) Store Systems in
Raleigh North Carolina (Research Triangle Park).
I now enjoy ham radio on the HF bands CW, SSB, RTTY, PSK31 and
FT8. I also enjoy talking with friends on the local VHF/UHF FM repeaters.
I am the Executive Operations Manager (EOM), webmaster, newsletter editor and
membership clerk for the Ogden Amateur Radio Club
(OARC).
