born and raised in Norfolk, VA, was first licensed at
age 15 as KN4TSJ. As he progressed through the
amateur ranks he was active in all the usual ham
activities such as AREC, traffic, etc.. At the same
time he worked DX when he could with limited antennas
and equipment. By the mid-60s he found more
satisfaction in DXing and eventually put most of his
time and effort into DX.</span></p>

pursued DX all during his early years and by the early
70s had obtained his General and Advanced level
license thus giving him more privileges and at the
same time increasing his country totals to over 200
worked. By now he was also gainfully employed and had
a family.</span></p>

1981, with a lifelong dream of living in Alaska, he
was selected for a position in Alaska and the family
moved North to the interior of Alaska and AL7EL was
born! For two years he operated as AL7EL and
experienced DX from the other side which provided
experience only gained from \u201cbeing DX\u201d. At the
conclusion of his tour, he returned to the lower 48
and continued his career in Maryland, Georgia and New
York. In 1996 he retired and established his residence
in Northeast Georgia and remains there to this day.
When he retired he established a consulting firm
providing services to the US Army worldwide.</span></p>
