Biography of W8TN

• I have been a ham radio operator since 1964.
  Previous calls held

• As an avid DXer I have operated from 5 different
  DX locations (personally making over 1,000 QSOs
  from each location) under the following calls
• W8TN/6Y5, ZF2EK, W8TN/VP9, XX9TN, FO0XX (85)
• I am on the DXCC Honor Roll (SSB) and hold WAS on

EME Station

• My current interests lie in the EME
  (Earth-Moon-Earth) field. I have done a small
  amount of 2-M EME in the early 1980s and some
  432 MHz. EME in the mid-90s (74 initials using
  four 25-L K1FO yagis.)
• At present I am not QRV on the moon. However, I
  have all the hardware for 2-M EME with four K1FO
  15-L yagis and an 8877 plus most of the hardware
  for 16 rear-mount (polarity control) K1FO 15-L
  yagis with a Lunar-Link amp (2x3CX800A7s.) On
  1296 I have 99 of the hardware to operate with a
  pair of 7289s and a Scientific Atlanta 5.1 Meter
  solid dish (see picture at left.)
• Lots of work still to do as I do NOT have a
  hamshack at present and I may be moving again
  (hopefully to a better ham radio location.) I
  will be working first on getting on 1296 and then
  on 2-M EME and finally on 432.
• Once I do become EME capable again, I plan to
  seriously operate EME on all three bands above
  and move into the higher bands as well. (I just
  acquired a 7.7 watt TWT for 10GHz!)
