About Me

Hi, I am N6AQ and my name is Frank. I live in Canyon Lake Texas a very beautiful place with my wife KD5ZPD. There is a strong German heritage here with many community activities. Canyon Lake is located in the Texas Hill Country almost directly between Austin and San Antonio Texas. If you are ever in the area of Canyon Lake give me a call on the Canyon Lake Repeater 444.450+ PL114.8.

I have been licensed since 1980 as Ka2qej and a German call of DB0ABB, at one point I was the second youngest licensed ham in Germany.  Shortly after I came to the USA I joined the Navy and I was transferred to California , I upgraded to General class and got the call sign N6swu. I kept this call for many years and worked many DX stations with it. When I upgraded to Extra class ( I passed my 20 WPM) I figured it was time for a 1×2 call and applied for a vanity call, I was sent N6AQ. I plan on keeping this call since I have thousands of QSL cards for N6AQ, LOLOL.

I mostly enjoy Low Band stuff from 40 to 160 meter band, I like the bigger antennas it involves and the experimentation it requires to get an antenna working properly.  I was just awarded my WAC (worked all continents) for 3.5 Mhz. I am just a few away for my 5 Band WAC and my WAS (Worked all States) on 80 is next.
