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.

  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.  

  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 call in to the Monday night Packrat 1296 Net whenever possible.  W2SJ, Pennsauken, NJ is the net control station for the net.  Activity is increasing on 1296 with WA2LTM, Cranbury, NJ, running a Northeast net on 1296.110 at the same time as the Packrat net.  The Northeast net has stations from PA, NJ, NY, CT, and occasionally NH and ME.

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.
