I've been a member for a while, but never posted. Call is my Grand dad's call that I "acquired" under the priority for relatives for the vanity call sign, so I'm not quite as old as the call would indicate (Granddad was the first holder, and it was issued to him when the FCC started issuing the 1X3 calls in the 30's.
The family is my Wife Cathy and 4 cats.
RV is a Holiday Rambler Presidential 5th wheel and a 1 Ton Dually Ford Diesel.
Primary HF is a MKIIG in the car (both for HF and VHF). Don't have a shack at the house, but have some of the older rigs (HW-101, HW-2036A, HW-5400, etc) that we have used in the past and just not passed on. They all still work, and I have the mobile supply for the HW-101. I operated it mobile for a long time. before I built the HW-5400.
Started out mobile as I was single active duty USN living in the barracks, so didn't have a place for a fixed station, and just kept it up. Always have the shack with me :D
