Welcome to my Web Page. Here you can learn how I've worked the World via Amateur Radio, by voice, by Morse Code, RTTY and other digital modes.
I was first licensed as W5GST October 12, 1937. I have held numerous other calls since then, having moved around the country. Now I'm K5CF. In the days gone by I've used a variety of equipment including transmitters I've built myslf and store bought radios.
From 1941 to 1949 I was a Flight Radio Officer with Pan American World Airways. I flew out of Brownsville, TX, New Orleans, LA and San Francisco, CA. I have been in radio and electronics all my life: Broadcast Engineer, PAA, Eimac as a Electronic Technition, KRON-TV Engineer and 18 years with Ampex Corporation as a Senior Field Service Engineer and Office Manager.
