I'm a Sailor, gone now from the sea and the ships and the Shipmates that
I sailed with. I miss them, and this site contains some of my favorite writings of shipmates contemporary to my time.
If you were also a sailor, perhaps one of the stories I've found will strike a chord with you.
I'm also an Amateur Radio ("HAM") operator, primarily active on HF (160-10)
with a preference for CW. Look for me in any contest, but especially in the November SweepStakes.
Previous calls KG6AQI (Guam), WA0PQF (Minnesota), WB9DLL (Wisconsin), WB4GXH (Virginia), and WB0WFF (Minnesota).
In the summer time I turn the radio off and go fishing for walleyes. My QSL card design shows a view of my mental treatment
center, otherwise known as Lake Vermilion, near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area in northern Minnesota. While watching a morning
sunrise across the lake, I can see all the way to heaven.
My partner and best friend in all of this is KØCKB. We are blessed with 5 grown/married children and 14 grandchildren,
good health, and the time to enjoy our lives.

There is a port of no return, where ships may ride at anchor for a little space and then, some starless night, the cable
slips, Leaving an eddy at the mooring place . . .
Gulls, veer no longer. Sailor, rest your oar. No tangled wreckage will be washed ashore.
