I have been a licensed Amateur Radio Operator since 1955. My first callsign  was  K4BYM  which I obtained at the FCC office in Norfolk, VA by passing a 13 WPM CW send and receive test and a General Class written test. My  present call, W6RLL,  was  obtained in  1972 when I passed the Advanced Class written test at the FCC office in Los Angeles, CA . After retiring in 1986 I passed the Extra Class written and 20WPM CW test in Tucson, AZ. At present my station consists of the following:
