Amateur radio station W3FEY

Formerly W1UIZ

VHF/UHF operation only at this time

 

 
  I am a retired Chemical Engineer.  I worked for RCA and its' successors, General Electric and Thomson, in the Color Picture Tube division in Lancaster, Pennsylvania from 1955 to 2003.

  I am now on 50, 144, 222(FM only), 432 and 1296 with limited antennas except for 1296 where I have a 67el SHF yagi about 40' up.  Transmitter power output on 1296 is about 350 watts. 

I am the editor for the Southern Pennsylvania Amateur Radio Club newsletter. See the K3IR web site for more information.  I am always looking for Amateur Radio related information to publish.

I am interested in Amateur Radio history.  One of my projects is to make a 1928 Government Callbook an on line resource for researchers.  See Early Radio Callbooks.  This is a work in progress that will take a long time to complete.

  For how I was hooked on Amateur Radio, there is a brief Amateur Radio biography.  I was mostly inactive from 1988 through 2000 when I started the present station rebuilding process.
