Welcome to the

Homepage of

Amateur Radio Station

K7SU

Hello from Idaho and thanks for dropping by.

     I was first licensed in 1966 at the age of 14.  My first call was my novice call in 1966...WN7GJE  I upgraded to GENERAL class a year later and my call changed to WA7GJE. Later I upgraded to Advanced.   Then in 1978 I got an EXTRA class license and holders of that class could choose their own 1x2 call so I got K7SU.  It's a great call for CW.
     I  enjoy CW and PSK31.  I also like to fool around with QRP.  Much of my operating is  CW QRP and ALL of my operating is 100 watts or less.   However, you are likely to hear me on about any band on any mode about any time. 
     My regular job is in broadcasting.  I anchor the morning news on KLIX AM each weekday morning and  I'm also the chief engineer of the four station  group.   I also have my own talk show, Monday through Friday from   8  to 9 a.m.
     I have several other hobbies besides ham radio.  They include woodworking/carving, shooting my handguns, riding my Harley, astronomy, and enjoying my grandkids...not necessarily in that order.

In days of old, when ops were bold and sideband not invented,
the words were passed by pounding brass and all were quite contented!

Long live CW.  Anyone can talk on a microphone.  Heck, I do it for a living!   But it takes a few smarts to work CW.  So, put down the mic and grab the key (bug, paddles, whatever you have) and make a CW QSO today....even better a QRP QSO.

Remember......

CW Operators Do It By Hand !
