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!
