My first ham radio station in Buffalo, NY - K2YKB - 1959


National NC98 receiver and Hallicrafters HT9 Transmitter

About Me

My Background

In 1957, at age 16, I was first licensed as KN2YKB in my home town of Buffalo, New York.  The "N" was removed from my call about 6 months later when I passed the General license exam.  My current call was issued in the 70's when I moved to California and upgraded to an Advanced Class license.  I use a Yaesu FT-2000 transceiver on the HF bands and a Yaesu FT-8900R on VHF & UHF.  I also have a Flex 3000 SDR transceiver for the HF bands.  My HF antenna is an OCF dipole about 30 feet above ground.  I use the local repeaters on 2 meters and 70 cm with a Ringo Ranger antenna for both bands.  My hobbies include electronics, computers and some photography.
