After nearly
30 years QRT, I recently got my Amateur Radio License
back, after having allowed the old ticket to quietly expire somewhere back
before the disco era!
The call sign W6KHJ pays homage to Southern California's "
Boss Radio" 93/KHJ, where I was on-air talent the 1970's. (
Thanks to the FCC for granting this historic call sign. )
I was first licensed as
WA5NBJ
in Tulsa Oklahoma,
in 1965.
These
days, you'll find W6KHJ operating mostly on 20/17/15/10m SSB
and slow CW from home in Toluca Lake, a village in
North Hollywood, and on weekends from our part-time QTH in the beautiful
Ojai Valley
, 80 miles north-west
of Los Angeles, near Ventura and Santa Barbara.
I
still prefer HF, running an ICOM 775dsp, IC-781 and ICOM Solid
State Linear. Some vintage Collins and Drake gear rounds out the lineup.

Thanks to my good friends, WA5MAH: Less Biffle, W6ABC:Jack Friday
and W2WJ/6: ALan Linder, for the inspiration to get back on the air.
