K8GVK is not a "store bought call" but my original call from 1956.
EX: CN8FX from Sidi Slimane, Morocco. This was my call when operating in 1963 when I was with the USAF. One of the first SSB stations on the air from Morocco so lots of action. The rig was the Collins KWS-1 transmitter and a 75A4 receiver plus an 11 element log periodic at 80 feet. No problem working the world...... ANYTIME! I regret not having the photos anymore.
Present QTH is Williamston, Michigan (42'.41'N-84'.16'W)is located 15 miles east of the capitol city of Lansing in South Central part of the state. (Ingham County)(Grid EN72)
Please QSL direct, ARRL's Logbook of the World or via W8 Bureau.
You might also see me active in some contests.
Hope to work you again soon.
73's Dave
