I check my e-mail regularly, but not necessarily daily.
Current activity:
I am an ARRL VE, ARRL Instructor and a volunteer Conn. Section-ARRL Technical Coordinator. I am EComm level 1 certified. In addition to my ham radio license, I also hold an FCC General Radiotelephone Operators License (GROL).
There is an e-mail reflector group for Volunteer Examiners begun on 15 March, 2000 at Yahoo groups. Go to www.yahoogroups.com/group/usve/ for the complete scoop.

*UPDATE!* *UPDATE!* *UPDATE!* *UPDATE*~~
Watch for an upcoming 2007 How-to class.
Yale University Amateur Radio Club www.yale.edu/w1yu is moving forward with a set of officers, and ARRL affiliation once again in place. We now have Yale University recognition and on-campus station space is now being sought.
Our local Conn. & Western Mass. Mensa chapter has formed a ham radio club for the chapter members. This is not associated with the national Mensa ham radio SIG in any way. The FCC issued vanity call sign of this club is K1HIQ as of August 2006. A special event ham radio HF station is planned at the C&WM Mensa Regional Gathering Sept 29 - Oct. 1. Actual hours of operation have not been set, nor have the frequencies. Our most likely bands of operation will be 20 and 40 meters SSB. For K1HIQ Special Event station contacts, please send a #10 SASE to me at 1121 West Lake Avenue, Guilford, Conn. 06437.
Ham radio is fun, exciting and you can participate almost anytime or anywhere. It is also VERY useful in emergencies and disasters. Just ask the literally thousands of people annually who are helped directly through the public service aspects of ham radio. There are no minimum age requirements. People are talking to friends on the air locally and around the world with ham radio. You must have a current valid Amateur Radio license to operate, but obtaining a license is not that difficult. Take a basic ham radio course in your area, or as most people do, learn what you need through self-study. Current study materials include:
***"Now You're Talking" #7970 & "ARRL's Tech Q&A" #7873.
The ARRL/The National Association For Amateur Radio (888-277-5289) has the following by phone order:
***"Now You're Talking" 4th ed. #7970
"FCC Rule Book" 12th ed. #7857
"ARRL Tech Q&A" 2nd ed. #7873
If you want to learn Morse Code:

Other interests:
Besides ham radio, I also occasionally enjoy model airplanes, model boats, model trains (OK, just about anything in model form), kite flying, fishing, reading, cooking, target shooting, traveling, metal detecting, good victuals, and fine libation especially that which is of Scottish origin.
Let me know if you would like a copy of my well liked clam chowder recipe by e-mail.
My spouse Helene is also a ham operator. Her callsign is KB1EBF.
I would like to organize a ham radio Special Event Station that commemorates legitimate hunting and fishing. Contact me if you have any ideas or would like to participate.
