Welcome Back!

Join me for a pass of Linear Satellite RS-44. This time around I explain some of the history behind my new callsign, why I changed it, and the memory of my Elmer, Louis A Blumstengel (1925 - 2002). The pass starts with an FT4 contact, then I move over to voice operations for the rest of the pass.

    As always, things that “resonate” with me: (1) resonant antennas ONLY; (2) gratitude for a mentor/guide; and, (3) giving helpful advice/feedback in a respectful manner! Well done. KQ4IXD

    Congratulations on the new Call Sign. Did I tell you how much I love your antennas? I do.
