Spotlight W4FID modern & vintage it's all good!
W4FID modern & vintage it's all good! I was K9FID for 45 years; and WB8TOY for a few along the way. Now I'm retired/relocated and really enjoying north central FL life as W4FID. In spite of some "evolution" of our hobby ham radio is still as great for me as ever. I enjoy both my modern IC 746 PRO and my vintage Heath DX-60 / Drake 2B stations. 40/20/15 SSB. 40/30 CW. HF mobile. QRP and travel. I'm there. Call me.

Strays Add a Stray!
I'm looking for an old friend who I haven't seen in over 25 years. His name is Bob Gilloe and his old call was KA8ACA. If anyone knows where I can contact him or if he has changed his call. Please let me know. Thanks in advance, bob...ads@pumpsandtanks.com
