Just joined the community today and thought I'd say hello.

I got my novice license back in 1984 and upgraded to advanced by '86. Was working on the 20wpm code for my extra when college came along and I didn't have as much free time. My first rig was a Drake TR7 driving an 80m dipole and a TH7 beam. Later entered 2m with a Yaesu Memorizer and an Icom O2AT. Got into packet radio and DX clustering for a while but ten years ago got a job transfer to another state and have been rarely on the waves since then other than 2m with the storm spotters and communications nets for auto rallye and hillclimbs.

Right now my working rigs are an Icom 756, Icom 2800H, Yaesu VX7R, and I still use that Icom O2AT. I put up a 40m dipole yesterday for the 756 and spent a good part of the night back on the HF bands. I went to the Furry Hams meet'n'greet at FWA and there was some interest in maybe starting an HF net. 40m and 80m seem to be the most open for me right now. I'm very out of practice on my code but would like to once I get another keyer.
