Hi, I'm Harold Kramer, Amateur Radio Station WJ1B. I have been an Amateur Radio operator (ham) since 1962. My Novice call sign back then was KN1ZCK and I also held the call WA1JLY. Here are some of the other calls that I have used: WJ1B/KP2, J6/WJ1B, TI7/WJ1B, W1AW/1, W100AW, and W1Q. I am also the trustee for N1EPU the callsign of the KW Amateur Radio Club.
On HF and 6 Meters, I use Icom 7610 transceiver with a K4KIO Hex Beam for 20 meters and up and an Alpha Delta DD antenna for 40M and 80M. I also use an Elecraft KPA500 amplifier and KAT500 tuner. My portable and POTA station consists of an Icom 7100 transceiver and a Buddipole antenna. Here's some additional information about my station.
I hold an Amateur Radio Extra Class License and an FCC GROL Commercial License. I am currently an ARRL Volunteer Examiner and an ARRL Life Member. I was an Emergency Coordinator (EC) in South Central Connecticut. I usually operate CW, FT8, or FT4, on the 80 through 6 meter bands. I also collect telegraph keys and telegraphic apparatus.
I retired as Chief Operating Officer of the ARRL in 2016 where I was the Publisher of QST and QEX. The ARRL is the national association for Amateur Radio located in Newington, Connecticut. Since I retired, I have continued writing articles for both QST and NCJ.
Prior to joining the ARRL in 2005, I worked in the cable television and broadcast industries. Here's my Resume.
I am happy to QSL directly at the address on the card below that is my callbook address, via the Bureau, or Logbook of the World. Return postage or SASEs are not required.
