I've been a ham since 1991, mostly operating HF and restoring older rigs. Previous callsign was VE6VOX. My favorite rigs to work on are first-generation all-solid-state types, though I've dabbled with tube rigs too. (Drake TR-3, Kenwood TS-530 etc)
Favorite rigs include the Yaesu FT-301, Icom IC-701, Heathkit SB-104A, Atlas 350XL and Kenwood TS-180S.

I'm involved in the local amateur theatre scene too. I've acted in plays with several of the theatre companies.
I love farces and pantomimes! My first show (only a few years ago) was a pantomime version of Treasure Island. I've also been in the hilarious Noises Off, performing as Freddy Fellowes. Such fun!!

I've been a member of CARA (Calgary Amateur Radio Association) for many years, and am also a member of FARS (Foothills Amateur Radio Society), QCWA (Quarter Century Wireless Association), the ARRL, and of course RAC. (Radio Amateurs of Canada)
Most recently I've joined the True Blue DX'ers club. Their primary aim is to get hams actually talking with each other!
