Gordon's Amateur Radio Page

I obtained my license as KL0ZC on October 17, 2000. Patrick Wilke WL7JA, my friend and co-worker got me started in ham radio. He even bought my first year membership in ARRL - what a nice guy!

My Shack: (click it) I have an Alinco DR-600 VHF/UHF transceiver for phone (voice) with a 17' Comet vertical dual-band antenna. Also an Alinco DR-1200 VHF Data Radio connected to an AEA PK-96 TNC (terminal node controller) for packet radio on a skeleton-sleeve-fed-monopole antenna that I built myself. Photos below.
