Thought I would sign-up, and drop by here and say hello. I heard about this site from N7OQ on Outbackers.com
As you can see from my signature line, I have been licensed since 1969. I was a mere pup of 15 back then. My current HF set-up is a Yaesu FT-840 into a 75/40 trap inverted vee @ 45', with an MFJ 901B "el cheapo" tuner to clean it up on 20, 15, and 10. (WARC bands won't tune without a lot of loss - not worth the effort)
I have moved around through the years, and have been active from the following QTH's (in reverse chronological order):
Canton, GA (Current QTH)
Cape Girardeau, MO
Hollister, CA
Hurricane, WV
Roanoke, VA
Lewisburg, WV
Sullivan, ME
Waialua, HI
Finegayan, GU
Alderson, WV (Where I started out as a Novice)

Also, in my signature line, you can see I have an Outback 23RS.
Both our kids have moved out now, so the DW and I are empty-nest campers.
Our son is an OS in the Navy. He is on staff with Commander Carrier Strike Group 9 (USS Abraham Lincoln, CVN72), in Everett, WA. Our daughter is married to a Navy guy, and is currently in Yokosuka, Japan. He is an EN on the USS Cowpens (CG63).

So again, just dropped by to say hello...
