K8EF is the callsign issued to me by the U.S.Federal
Communications Commission as part of my license to set up and operate an amateur radio station. It permits me to operate
my station anywhere in the United States or on ships and aircraft registed
in the U.S. when they are in or over international waters (subject
to approval by the person in command of the vessel or aircraft). I
can operate on any frequency or mode authorized for amateur use in
the U.S. or Canada. I can also operate in a large number of
other countries who have subscribed to an arrangement designated at
CEPA.
My current station is

transmitter and receiver):
