From October through
May we operate as K0MHC/RV across the US checking out
potential retirement sites. Both 6 and 2 meters SSB as well as HF SSB/PSK
are on board the RV to stay in touch. During the summer months we operate
from our MN lake cabin as K0MHC/Portable in EN26ha. I hope to find some time
to continue rover operations as they are very rewarding. The project for
this summer (2003) is to get back on the air from MN. We're been involved in
a major tower project and reconfiguration of the antennas. Listen for us on
the bands during the VHF and UHF contests.

From June through September I operate from EN-26ha. This now "permanent" site was
our family get away since 1976. A recent addition has been a 2nd tower that can see over
the immediate ridge and trees for UHF operation. I usually operate the September VHF/UHF
contest with the Northern Lights Radio Society and VHF during the June field day with the
local Runestone Radio Club. The aurora propagation is just GREAT from up here!

I started as an HFer in 1957 with some 2 meter experience in the 60s. I've Been Moved
around the county too often to be able to keep active every year. Now that we're "planted"
here in Austin, I hope to catch up on what I've been missing all these years. Microwave is
the most recent horizon for expoloration although I have a lot of antenna work to complete
on most bands.
We're looking forward to providing all of you QSOs from many new grid squares across the
country.
