Hello...

My name is Ron and I have been licensed since 1978. Have not been very active in the past few years (2006 - 2010) due to the restraints of time. At the end of 2010 I became disabled and now have all the time in the world and have returned to ham radio full force! Am active on all bands and loving it! I am in central New Jersey, not far from the famed Jersey shore. Look for me on 6 meter SSB when the band opens. Also active of HF AM. Most of the time I can be found on one of the AM window of one of the HF bands.
