What's Your Sign?

[Scott Greczkowski]

Welcome to our new Ham Radio and Police Scanner Technology forum!

So lets kick this off by introducing yourself, give us a your call sign and tell us a little bit about your shack.

Can you believe it, I live less then 1 mile to the ARRL headquarters in Newington, CT and I don't have my ticket yet. Oh well.

Enjoy the new forum and 73!

In my day it was "call sign" but when I first saw the thread title, I thought Scott had gone zodiac on us.


I had two, first was WA3BJR licensed in 1963 as a Tech, then got my second class Commercial license and upgraded to General at the same time in 1969. Then I went for First Phone license and also upgraded to Extra class but when the licensed arrived, it was labeled "Advanced" Never did get that straightened out but the FCC examiner said He thought I failed the code test. That was in 1970. I added an additional callsign when I moved to NY. It was WB2NIJ. No longer active but I still have my transmitter which was a pair of 4-1000A in push pull modulated with a pair of 833A. I don't know why I kept it all these years. When I moved to Florida I started to put up a 75Meter dipole but never got the transmitter hooked up. I was on for about a year with a SSB SB102.
Haven't been active since 1983. I heard there have been many changes to licensing now to make it easier.

Too many other things on my plate, Bob. I have very fond memories of my days in ham radio. Clubs, Field days, and crazy crazy parties, especially the one where a dozen of us set up a bootleged AM station in NYC one New Year's eve. I don't think I could enjoy it like I did when I was a kid. The communications camaraderie has long been replaced with BBS's in the late 80's to these forums today. The last rig I had was a Heathkit SB102 and I sold it many years ago.
