A wonderful throwback photo from around 1965 shows him sitting on his father’s lap, W2ODC (SK), in front of a classic Collins S-Line station. Amateur radio has been a lifelong passion, and this past November he celebrated an incredible milestone—50 years as a licensed ham radio operator. Originally licensed as WN2CFP, later WB2CFP, and now proudly operating as K2YR. What a remarkable journey through five decades of amateur radio! 🎉
