This is the story of Amateur Radio Station, N6HB; the history, the accomplishments, and stations I have had the privilege to operate from or otherwise be associated with.
SWL since 1966 — WPE1HFL First licensed in 1967 as WN1IZS Upgraded and became WA1IZS in 1968 Was QRT for a number of years while I chased girls, went to college, and generally enjoyed the "good life." In 1974, was fortunate enough to marry the woman I love (37 years and still going strong). Following the "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em" philosophy, Maryann (xyl) became WA1ZDE in 1976! Bought our first house, and had my first chance at a "real" station in 1981. To celebrate, picked up a new callsign, KA1XN. DXed for a number of years, until I got bored with it. A life changing event occurred in 1983, the birth of our twin daughters! In 1984, I resurrected my high school interest in Track & Field, and became involved in recreational (at first), then later, competitive distance running. In 1987, was invited to Aruba to participate in the "Queen's Day 10K" road race. I took the whole family with me, hooked up with P43AJ, and operated as P40AR (Aruba Roadrace) when I wasn't busy enjoying the sights or training for the event. In 1997, accepted a job transfer to southern California and acquired the call N6HB. More recently, I have become heavily involved in building and driving high-performance sports cars. However, I'm still active in contesting as a guest operator at multi-ops. |
