Been licensed as a General almost 30 years as WD5CBO but currently not active although I do have a 2 meter rig here on the desk. I loved CW and was good to about 23 WPM. Anytime I'm watching old war movies my ears perk up and I try to copy if I hear someone sending CW. It's kinda funny that when I got started I had almost no place to put up a good antenna and now I have 7 acres and nothing up. 73's ------------------ [This message was edited by Dick Wood on 02 December 2006 at 09:03 AM.] |

Don't you have to learn how to copy code to get a license anymore? |

KE7MK- Advanced.. I've been a licensed ham since I was 14. I am now 53. I've had 5 call signs since. Currently I'm on 40 and 75 meter SSB, 20 meter CW (I'm still somewhat of a nut for CW - (about 25 wpm solid). I'm also on the local 2 meter and 440 repeaters. Back in the late 90's I was active on 1296 MHz moon bounce.(EME). I Hope to try my hand at it again someday soon. My 16 foot dish is still sitting in Cody. As soon as I can transport it over the mountain, I'll be bouncing again.. 73's Ric Epperle... ------------------ [This message was edited by Ric Epperle on 05 December 2006 at 02:24 AM.] |

WB0VDE Did a lot of CW in the 70's, then it went the wayside. All the speedsters seemed to die out. Last thing I did was fly RC on 6 meters a few years ago. |

Joe... You have a good idea on starting a steeler's net. We could have a ball with that. My dad, Gene Epperle was a fine steel player for 50 plus years and also a ham radio operator. His first call was WH6BEP and was stationed in Hawaii at the time.(USMC)... After we moved state-side he became K6SLB and finally to W7JIL. Ham Radio has pretty much run in our family. My dad is a silent key now but my mother is still alive and her call is WA7UPK. She resides in North Idaho and not very active except for 2 meters. My first call was WN6UIG(novice), to WB6UIG (General),then to KA7UAK to N7HBX and finally, KE7MK... I've had alot of fun with ham radio over the years (still do). To Bruce... WB0VDE... I still have a PRO-line 6 meter RC transmitter and a Futaba 6 meter rig for RC... Sure had a lot of fun with that. I Still have a plane or two, also. If You guys end out this direction, the local 2 meter freq. is 146.82 minus 600. 73's... KE7MK ------------------ [This message was edited by Ric Epperle on 05 December 2006 at 02:52 AM.] |

de WB5AOC "agrivating old cuss" Joe, been ham since 1970 WN5AOC. Does it count if I am trying to learn steel, bass player since 56. Not as active as I should be, but a steelers net sounds interesting. I get to Houston, work for Union Pacific RR (hired out on the old "Cotton Belt". Have you ever worked any PSK31?? It is a blast need very little power, use the computer with the rig on 20 meters, I have worked all over the world with 25 watts. 73s Mike |

OK, who is going to step up and wear the White Hat as MC and get a net started. Time and Freq is good anytime as I am retired. I always get a kick out of pickers that have not passed the code requirement (5 WPM) that say "I just can't hear the code." My question then is " How can you tune your guitar?"

I'm not a new ham, but do have a different callsign than before. My current callsign is K5WSM. I went the vanity callsign route because I just happen to like this one better. To me, it just has a much better ring to it than my old one, N5YUL. I chose it for the WSM suffix, because of WSM Radio in Nashville having such a long history with country music/steel guitar.
