First licensed in Decatur, Illinois in 1973 as WN9NEQ, I started with a Ten-Tec PM2B cw rig with 2 watts on 80 meters. Six months later, I increased this to a whopping 12 watts with a homebrew 6JE6 amp - until the cardboard toilet paper tube / plate choke coil form caught fire, greatly worrying my father.
In
early 1975, at 15, I became WB9NEQ, and explored ssb and built other amps
with 811As and later, 813s. During this period I developed
a love for transmitters, antennas, and all things RF...
These days, W4NEQ is sometimes
heard on hf ssb, CW, and 2 meter FM. I'm a radio broadcast engineer,
and an all-around RF wonk.
Other amateur radio ramblings are also here.
