KH6II

KH6II since 1975

Vietnam Brownwater Navy Combat Veteran 1965 - 1967. Gotta like the speed of those PBRs, the twin 50 was not too shaby either...

After my Vietnam tour, I was stationed at Fleet Weather Central in the computer room as the numerical products supervisor. Total of 6 years in the service.

After being discharged from the Navy as an E5, I started with NCR corp for 14 years and became a senior engineer.

Original Ham License in 1975 by and with code test in Kona Hawaii with Technician license.

Just kept renewing even after I left Hawaii. Setup first real station using the Kenwood shiney face twins, R-599 and T-599, after moving to Guam. When we moved to Saipan, no station setup.

Then moved to Dallas Texas where I now use an icom 7300 just running barefoot, feeding an 130 foot endfed wire antenna through a MFJ 998 tuner, with a height of about 10 feet above the ground.

Now have a minimal station setup, using an ICOM 7300 as my main transciever. Use a MFJ-998 tuner and a MFJ-1025 for noise control. My antenna is a 130 foot end fed wire.
