Where ever possible and if I am paying attention, I will try to be as "un technical" as possible for the many non-hams who stumble onto these pages. There is plenty info on the Internet that explains amateur radio technical stuff for those looking for it. My fellow hams, please bear with my explanations that I have tried to provide for the non-hams that visit these pages. I am relatively new to ham radio (April 2004) so I am no way an expert but my radio communications experience dates back to the mid 1970's when I was a Radio/Telephone Operator in the Army and I have never owned a vehicle that didn't have a CB.

Various links to information about me and my amateur radio operations are to the left under "Site Navigation." I hope you enjoy this little part of my life I am sharing with you.
Life is short. We are born, we learn, we experience, we live, then we die. I choose to live fast and hard to enjoy all of the learning, experiencing, and living I can during the time that Creator has set aside for me.
At the left are links to various aspects of my life... I hope you enjoy your visit at this window into my life.

My call sign - W9SBU - is a "Vanity" call sign. A vanity call sign is one that is requested from the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) to replace the "general issue" sign that is given to you when you first become licensed in Amateur Radio. My initial licensed call was KC9FSJ and was returned to the pool of available calls when my new call was issued.
W stands for my nick-name "Wolf," 9 signifies the region of the US that I am in (Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana), SBU signifies an organization special to me (Sober Bikers United).
Call signs in the US all start with A, K, N,or W. The US is divided into 10 regions (0 thru 9).
