AC4PS

**ARRL Registered Licensed Instructor**

*Accredited Voluntary Examiner*

Born in Perth, Western Australia. 

I was first licensed as a novice VK6NEQ.  I quickly obtained a full call license VK6PS which is still current.  I have held this license for nearly 47 years.

Becoming a US Citizen in 2010 I lost my receprocity rights to operate VK6PS in a portable W4 capacity here in the USA.

My electronics background, coupled with Amateur Radio has provided me with extensive experience in this field.

This year (2016), I decided to test for my American Amateur Radio License and sat for the Technician and General Licenses obtaining (KM4WCN).  Two weeks later I sat for the Extra Class and applied for my Vanity Callsign which now stands as AC4PS.

All Cash OR All Credit 4 P​ower S​upply!! Either way sounds good to me! LOL!

Further, this year (2016), I successfully tested to become a VE (Voluntary Examiner) by the ARRL including my acceptance as an ARRL Registered Licensed Instructor and I am looking forward to assisting as many people as possible to gaining their Amateur Radio Licenses.

73s for now.

Some Radio Station Photos:

Digital HF with IC-7300 and DV4Home, ID-5100A Delux and MD-380 for VHf/UHF Modes...

At this time - only 5 States to go for my WAS Award...

Second part of my station is the SSB side with an IC-7610.  The 16 Channel mixer provides the ultimate parametric equalization...

I had to modify some of the equipment and recalibrate the oscilloscope and other meter - all brought over from Perth, Australia...

Finally the Shack still needs room to grow! The DC power distribution strip and the Antenna/Transmitter Auto Switcher compliment the Shack's efficiency...A bit of a clean up followed by some cable grouping in the near future is definitely in order.

THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY AND 73s!
