Did a lot of CW in the 70's, then it went the wayside. All the speedsters seemed to die out.
Last thing I did was fly RC on 6 meters a few years ago. |

| WB8YTS Not active as much as I use to be. Spend my spare time on steel. I still have a 2m/440 handheld and a Yeasu low band rig but no outside antennas. |

| Been a ham since 1963. Present Callsign - WF3M. I used to be very active in DXing and CW contesting, now mostly yapping on the local 2 meter repeater (147.21 Pottstown, PA) during drive time. |

Joe... You have a good idea on starting a steeler's net. We could have a ball with that. My dad, Gene Epperle was a fine steel player for 50 plus years and also a ham radio operator. His first call was WH6BEP and was stationed in Hawaii at the time.(USMC)... After we moved state-side he became K6SLB and finally to W7JIL. Ham Radio has pretty much run in our family. My dad is a silent key now but my mother is still alive and her call is WA7UPK. She resides in North Idaho and not very active except for 2 meters.
My first call was WN6UIG(novice), to WB6UIG (General),then to KA7UAK to N7HBX and finally, KE7MK... I've had alot of fun with ham radio over the years (still do).
To Bruce... WB0VDE... I still have a PRO-line 6 meter RC transmitter and a Futaba 6 meter rig for RC... Sure had a lot of fun with that. I Still have a plane or two, also.
If You guys end out this direction, the local 2 meter freq. is 146.82 minus 600.
73's... KE7MK

My Call is N5LYS (Tech). Used to be active on 10 Mtrs. but my Beam came down with a terrible wind a few years back. I really enjoyed RTTY on 10 Mtrs, and single side band. Also operated on 2 Mtrs. and 73 CMtrs.
I would like to get active again..Who knows..MAybe one of these days.

de WB5AOC "agrivating old cuss"
Joe, been ham since 1970 WN5AOC. Does it count if I am trying to learn steel, bass player since 56. Not as active as I should be, but a steelers net sounds interesting. I get to Houston, work for Union Pacific RR (hired out on the old "Cotton Belt". Have you ever worked any PSK31?? It is a blast need very little power, use the computer with the rig on 20 meters, I have worked all over the world with 25 watts.
73s

OK, who is going to step up and wear the White Hat as MC and get a net started. Time and Freq is good anytime as I am retired. I always get a kick out of pickers that have not passed the code requirement (5 WPM) that say "I just can't hear the code." My question then is " How can you tune your guitar?"

| I'm not a new ham, but do have a different callsign than before. My current callsign is K5WSM. I went the vanity callsign route because I just happen to like this one better. To me, it just has a much better ring to it than my old one, N5YUL. I chose it for the WSM suffix, because of WSM Radio in Nashville having such a long history with country music/steel guitar.
