Trinity Site is where in 1945 the Army set off an Atomic Bomb. 60 years later in 2005 a group of Hams set up 3 radio sites for a special interest one day operation. I'm working 40 meter QRP CW and a German TV group were photographing me at 70 years old talking to other Hams. They were there for over 10 minutes I think because I had shade and the temperature was 102F.

I have been a ham for 55 years and enjoy QRP and the "ART" of QRP very much. It's fun to talk with a station 5,000 miles away. It's a thrill to do the same thing with only 5 watts of transmitter power. I enjoy CW and the Fox Hunts.

I have an antenna farm consisting of a Butternut 40 meter vertical and the High Gain TH6-DXX beam on a 60 foot self supporting tower. To see this picture Click on the word FARM below.
