HI AND WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE, AS YOU CAN SEE I AM AN AMATEUR RADIO NUT AND AM VERY PROUD TO BE. I LIVE IN NORTHWESTERN ILLINOIS IN A SMALL TOWN, I OWN MY HOME AND LIVE FROM CHECK TO CHECK, MY WIFE ELAINE IS VERY COMFORTABLE HERE AND SEE NO MOVE IN THE NEAR FUTURE. I WENT FROM A TECHNICIAN TO AN AMATEUR EXTRA IN 13 MONTHS AND MY WIFE WAS PRETTY MUCH A WIDOW THROUGH THAT TIME. I ALSO HAVE A VERY FAITHFUL COMPANION, A FOX TERRIOR NAMED HERBY, MY BEST FRIEND FOR 11 YEARS NOW. I LOVE THE 20 METER BAND BECAUSE OF THE LONG DISTANCE PROPAGATION, BUT THE 2 METER BAND AND THE STEPHENSON COUNTY REPEATER FREEPORT IL. 147.390 + 114.8 PL IS A PRIORITY FOR ME. I GOT INTO THE HOBBY BECAUSE CB WAS JUST NOT ENOUGH, ALTHOUGH A BUNCH OF THE AREA HAMS AND NON HAMS HAVE A REAL NICE NET ON LOWER SIDEBAND CHANNEL 16 EVERY NIGHT FROM 9PM TO 10 PM, IF YOU ARE EVER IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CHECK IN.. I HAVE A COUSIN WHO ALSO IS A HAM AND ENJOY KEEPING IN TOUCH WITH HIM BECAUSE WE WERE PRETTY TIGHT IN OUR YOUNGER YEARS AND WOULD LIKE TO KEEP IT THAT WAY, WE HAVE ALOT OF FUN WHEN OUR FAMILIES GET TOGETHER. IF YOU EVER HEAR ME ON THE AIR AND WANT TO HAVE A NICE CLEAN QSO, JUST CALL KB9ZCW 73'S CUL KENNY
