I was born June 26, 1944.

First licensed in 1977 or 1978 as KA7AGZ, the first KA on 2-meters in Phoenix, I quickly tired of comments from oldtimers such as - "Get off the air with your made-up CB call!"

As soon as the FCC allowed me to I applied for an N7 call and was assigned N7AOU which I kept for about 20 years until I applied for my brother's old call - W7WKM - which had been vacant for over 20 years. In May of 2004 I acquired the vanity call K1ATV.

I immediately began agitating for HAM TV on 70 cm and, with the help of the ARRL ATV Guru, W6ORG, began transmitting HAM TV on 434.000 MHz.

I was founding president and chief instigator of AAA5 - Arizona Amateurs on TV - which eventually became AATV - and still exists today.

I also speak and teach Esperanto and do genealogy from my home.

Always remember - Hams should be SEEN as well as heard.
