I got my Novice license, WN5OOB, in 1966 at age 13. Upgraded to General and became WA5OOB later in the year. Got my Extra in '78 and changed my callsign to WD5N in '86. I've had a few inactive periods but always come back to it. Most of my operating the last few years has been once or twice a year on a contest dxpedition. I have a new C4SXL waiting to go up if I ever get a decent tower erected here in Leander. Right now I have a KT34 on a small crank up. Some day...

.WA5OOB in 1971
.Always wanted a Collins S-Line. Finally got it in the early 80's and it was cool but didn't use it much after I got a TS-940.
.This Cushcraft A4 tribander followed my first tribander, a TA33-jr, on a 50' tower. Cushcraft 6M beam on top. Worked all my DX with those antennas.
.This is what the station usually looked like.
