I have been a ham since 1984.  My current class of license is Extra.  I am a member of ARRL as well as YLRL.  I am also a VE for W5YI and ARRL. I am a member of MTARA/ Mountain Top Amateur Radio Association.  I am currently the club secretary, serving in this position from 2021.  I edit the club newsletter as well as write some articles for it.  I have also written articles for YLH, in the District 6 column. I have had FEMA training in relation to being a member of the Mountain Top ARES.  Other nets I participate in are CRC, Ladies of the Net (Net Control), MTARA 220 Net, of which I am the moderator every Tuesday night, sharing radio information and history, and the Gordon West simplex net. I have attended Pacificon in San Ramon regularly where I have spoken at the YL Forum several times. Along with participating in Field Day, I have also assisted in communications with Tour de Big Bear, Kodiak 100 and Grand Fondo.   I also enjoy teaching licensing classes with my husband, Gary, AA6GJ, for Human Resources in the County of San Bernardino.  When not doing radio activities, we enjoy spending time with our grandchildren. I retired in 2012 after 35 years as an elementary teacher.
