    Hey Rich, I love your Ham Shack. I was on the USS Saratoga with VF-31 in 1976 also. I remember visiting the radio room with another shipmate that was wanting to make a call back to the states. Even to today I can still remember the call sign W7WST ( Whiskey 7 Whiskey Sugar Ten ). At that time I didn't show much interest in Amateur Radio but now I passed the Technician in April and now the General June 15th. Hope to be on the air soon. Thank you for the tour of your shack.

    A pleasure to see you and Rich Darren! He has a great station there. Rich and I have had a few QSO's over the past two years. Caught him mobile but using his base station remote. Hi Rich!

      He told me he uses his mobile phone to operate remote HF. He controls his SteppIR, Amp, and HF radio.

    Wow, you brought back memories when you mentioned the USS John F. Kennedy as I served on that Aircraft Carrier as part of VF-32 from 1989 to 1993. In fact, we deployed for Operation Desert Shield/ Desert Storm. I'm a fairly new licensed ham operator (General class) KI5YKA

    Darren, thanks for doing this. Richard has an awesome station. . Is he the original holder of that callsign? If so, he got his start in the 60s or 70s as did I. 73 de Scott W1AL

    Connect two good speakers to the TS-990, tune both Rx to the same freq, and really enjoy pseudo stereo autio.
