One of the hobbies I enjoy the most is amateur radio (AKA "Ham Radio"). There are many facets to amateur radio and here are the things I enjoy the most about the hobby:
I am the Illinois Ham TCP/IP address coordinator. If you are an Illinois
ham and need a TCP/IP address, just send me e-mail,
ken at svs dot com
and I will return your IP address as soon as I can. If you are in the Chicago
area and need a TCP/IP address, I will need the frequency and the router(s)
that you will use. If you are outside Chicago area, I will need your ZIP code
and frequency.
I have been licensed as WA9AEK from 03/1961 to 08/2013 when I applied for the vanity call sign of W9AEK.

I also operate SSB and CW on 80-2 meters, 70 & 23cm, AM on 40 meters, FM on 10 meters
thru 23cm. Every now and then, I will dabble with fast scan analog ATV.
And active on auto-start RTTY 145.000 using Teletype model 28 KSR, homebrew TU & ST-6,
& LRXB tape unit. Also use a Teletype model 14.
