I was initially licensed in 1976 as a Novice and soon upgraded to a Technician. My interests drifted and I allowed my license to expire in 1983. Many years later after loosing most of my vision, I decided to get back into Amateur Radio and received my new license in May 2004. These pages help to document the building of my current station.
