Eric O'Flaherty Signs with Atlanta...

Our own Eric O'Flaherty (Robbin's nephew) has signed with the Atlanta Braves baseball team.

From a Braves press release: "The Braves enter the regular season with a projected pitching staff that includes starters Derek Lowe, Javier Vazquez, Jair Jurrjen, Kenshin Kawakami and Tom Glavine, closer Mike Gonzalez, setup men Rafael Soriano and Peter Moylan and middle relievers Blaine Boyer, Eric O'Flaherty and Buddy Carlisle".

Congrats to Eric, and good luck in Atlanta!

My name is Bill Albrant, and I live in Murrieta, California with my wife Robbin. We have 5 children, and 10 grandchildren.

In 1959 I was first licensed as KN7JYE in Oakridge, Oregon. After upgrading to the "Extra" class license I received the current call sign of K6CU.

The first "rig" was a Knight Kit Ocean Hopper and a converted ARC-5 transmitter. Other radios owned over the years include a Drake TR-3, TR-4, and "C" line. Also a Collins "S" line, Icom IC-735, Kenwood TS-930, and numerous "boat anchors".

Recently added a Yaseu FT-950, replacing a Kenwood TS-850Sat. QRP radio is a Heathkit HW-8, and the antenna is a Butternut HF-6v.

Most of my activity is working "DX" and contests using morse code (cw). For several years I was also one of the operators at the contest station of W6BA in 29 Palms, CA. A great experience!
