Hi BJ,
I am KC4KFC although a tornado took my antenna down and I haven't gotten it back up. I think my interest in amps and tubes and electronics has helped my knowledge of musical amplifiers, etc.

N5LMS here

Nice call, Charles. My initials are LMS, so that one jumped right out at me. I'm a general class, and my callsign is K5WSM. It's a vanity call, I chose it because of my love of country music, and WSM radio in Nashville.

73's from N4YCQ. Extra Class

Looking for an antenna that will fit my neighborhood.

I am EX general class, W5DVO, K3FFZ, ZD8JES (Ascension Island). I also used BV1USG when I was stationed in Taipei Taiwan in the early 60's and ran the Air Force base MARS Radio Station (AI8AIR).

I accidentally let my license expire and never took the tests again. I did the same thing with a 2nd Class FCC Radiotelephone license at the time.

There was an identical thread a year or two ago, but I couldn't find the thread.

Thank Guys and keep it coming.
I couldnt find the thread,either, Jack..
Mabye this one will replace it.
I enjoy Ham Radio! AND I enjoy Pedal Steel Guitar AND this FORUM.

I didn't get to pick LMS they issued it to me. I am an extra class but never changed my call. I used to run a lot of CW and when I passed my extra, I would have recieved AA5A?. Decided to keep N5LMS because it had much more swing to it on CW.

Hi BJ,

Mine was K1QGN.

KB7GCF for many years. Also proud to say with code!!!

KE4IAW here......not active anymore.

Duane, I started out as a CW (Morse Code) Radio Operator in the Air Force and had a speed key (bug) certificate so the Morse Code part was a piece of cake for me (You had to be able to send and receive at least 25 WPM to be eligible to qualify for a speed key certificate). I had to do a lot of electronics studying when I took the General Class test in 1961.

I was also a Tech School Instructor, at Keesler AFB, in the Radio Operator department.

AC3G here. Got my start in electronics building Heathkits when I was just a wee lad. Grew up in Gettysburg PA home of the FCC. Was WA3CIN then.

Its been a lot of years without a rig but my callsign is G6CWP, I only owned a 2mtr set. I took the RAE after getting 'busted' with an illegal 27mhz AM CB radio on the way to one of my gigs. The police spotted my base loaded antenna on the van. It used to be fun when CB was illegal!

I also got caught for making whisky..'moonshine' ! That got me a front page story in the paper! I remember having to go to court one week after joining coca cola! I told my boss and he couldn't stop laughing.. He told me I could make a better 'still' using some coke gear!
