Default New to forum tnx to wa8yxm

Hi, y'all! Been on RV.net for a few years and recently read on there about this forum thanks to WA8YXM and here I am!

We full-time in a 36' Bounder we call "Bertha" and are presently in the Quartzsite, AZ area fixin' to leave for TN 1 Feb. working an Elecraft K2 on CW and SSB plus a coupla 2 m "bricks" we have not figured out how to program yet! I started in ham radio as a kid in the early 50s with a Hallicrafters and a Heath AT-1. Discovering girls kinda slid radio into the backseat (oops!) until I saw John Watkins N0EVH throwing a wire over a tree limb in Estes Park, CO for his KX-1. HE is the one that got me started with the new generation kits from Elecraft. It's HIS fault!

The DW and I were fortunate to have some time in the Rio Grande Valley to study for and successfully pass the exams given by the great team of VEs in Harlingen, TX. Taking a test from VEs is way preferable to the "old way" at the Federal Bldg!

We are looking forward to some fun times in ham radio! With people like you!
