Living in beautiful Kentucky in the Daniel Boone National Forrest. 

Twice the quality of life at half the cost of living.

First licensed 05/11/1993  as KD6VDV

Acquired my current vanity callsign 04/19/2011 as a tribute to my Uncle James Lee Johnson from Covington, TN who sadly has gone SK.  He was my Elmer and I remember sitting on his knee as a young boy in is his amazing 360 degree ham shack.  I was totally hooked! :)

Upgraded my license to General in 2019
