"Sunrise in Virginia Beach"

Enjoy your visit and Listening to my East Coast live stream(s) of Amateur HF / UHF / VHF Radio compliments of Jay James - W4BSB .. At the present time audio is streamed to the Internet 24 / 7 so listeners who are traveling, in the hospital, or away from their "Shack" can listen using their Mobile devices, Laptops or PC desktop computers. The current 3-7 second Internet audio delay can be very useful for checking to see how your rig sounds. The CH 1 (remote access) transceiver is a computer programmed Tentec Omni VII radio supported by a ( RadioWorks ) "Carolina Windom 160 Special" antenna located at my receiver site in the Kempsville area of City of Virginia Beach, Va. The CH 2 transceiver is an Alinco DR-635 connected to vertically polarized UHF / VHF antennas also located at my receiver site in Kempsville.

The Farm

......... .. ............

Visiting Uncle Hugh at the farm after Sunday services at Zoar's Church near Bristersburg, VA.

"It was November 2nd, 1949 ... I was 8 years old and getting to stay up late to "play radio" as Uncle called it, with a funny looking thing he said was a " key". Over in the corner of the room was some military surplus equipment with tubes that glowed in the dark. Everything was inside a wooden cage covered with chicken wire and a High Voltage sign hanging on the outside of the cage. ... I was simply fascinated with what my Uncle Hugh said the strange noises (CW) were saying coming out of that old Bendix speaker"

I am currently 68 years young and back into amateur radio after 41 years of being away. Over the past 45 years I have been active mostly in Public Safety Radio Communications as a City of Hampton Police Officer, Virginia State Trooper ... Owner of Colonial Communications and Electronics Inc., Commercial Two-way Radio Service Centers serving Southside Virginia and Northern North Carolina.

I retired for the 3rd time in 2001 and still work 40 hours a week as an IT / Network Operations Manager. That keeps me active, gives me a reason to get out of the house every day, and a chance to stay up to date with what is happening in the radio communications and electronics industry. I enjoy experimenting with antennas, wireless devices, building PC's and computer networks. .
