Amateur Radio

 

I was first licensed as an Amateur Radio Operator in September 1954 with the Novice call sign of WN3ZFL and Technician call sign of W3ZFL. A few months later, I upgraded to General class.

During the early 1970’s, I upgraded my license to Extra Class and eventually was assigned the call W6XN.
