Originally licensed in 1966 as WN3GLX (Novice) at the age of 15 yrs old thanks to my Elmer and Uncle W3ZJS (Now W3FP) in Philadelphia PA where I was born and raised. Updated to WA3GLX (general) in 1967.
Served in the US Navy as a Radio op including 3 years with "Operation Deep Freeze" and eventually settled down in New Zealand in 1986. It's been a interesting journey to say the least!
Located in the Seaside Suburb of North Beach/New Brighton which is located 15KM NW of Christchurch. The Qth is just "down the road" from the South Pacific Ocean and has been a good location for radio.
For more information on Christchurch have a look at http://www.christchurch.org.nz/ plus see the latest photo download from the Pier Cam in New Brighton at: http://www.niwa.co.nz/our-services/online-services/cam-era/new-brighton-pier-a
Main interests are chasing Dx, having a dab in contests and just general rag chewing centered around CW, RTTY and PSK31 (Ooops almost forgot to mention there is a microphone somewhere in the shack too for SSB).
At present the equipment consists of a Kenwood TS2000 and TS530S (classic setup with the Remote VFO240 and Speaker SP230). This is followed up with a Ameritron Amplifier(3x572B) along with miscellaneous gear for VHF/UHF and Satellites.
Antennas consist of a Mosley TA33 Triband Yagi and inverted vee's for 80/40 and 30 meters.
Currently hold awards for DXCC WAS WAP WAZL and the Arrl A1-op Club to name a few.
Have held the callsign ZL3NB since 1994. Other calls held have been WA3GLX (still current) WA3GLX/ZL3ADZ (71-74) ZL0AAH (86)and ZL3ADX (86-94).
