I have been for about 55 years (since Jr High aka Middle school) but haven't been active probably for the last 15. Even still have a 2meter repeater still giving out my calls up north. I know OF someone who did a flagpole antenna but don't know him personally who lives 2 doors down from my sister in Gilchrist only because she recently told me about him. Not into ham radio clubs though but I know there is one. Always was a CW guy when I messed around on 20 meters and at one time was able to copy 55wpm+ in my head. Now I barely can do 15 when I listen on the web. When I speak to my sister I'll ask her to ask him if he'd mind someone contacting him.
