style="FONT-SIZE: small; FONT-FAMILY: sans-serif"><FONT face=Tahoma>In early
2007 I returned to amateur radio as TF2JB after rather a long break. It's great
to be back and I've been pleased to discover all the activity on the bands. I'm
mostly active on CW on HF and VHF (6 meters) but every now and then I
will use Phone; and whenever possible I like to participate in
contests.<BR><BR>I hold an amateur radio license No. 80 in Iceland and have been
a ham since January 11, 1974 when TF3JB was
issued </FONT></SPAN></SPAN><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: "><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: small; FONT-FAMILY: sans-serif"><FONT face=Tahoma>by the
Icelandic Post and Telecommunication Authority (PTA). The TF2JB license was
issued on January 27, 2007 when I moved to the TF2 call
area. Privileges include all bands, all emission types and full RF
power. <BR><BR>I have been a member of the national amateur radio
association, <EM>Íslenskir radíóamatörar (Í.R.A.) </EM>since
1973. From 1975 to 1989 I served on the board as an elected
officer as well as being editor of our ham magazine <EM>CQ TF.</EM> During
that era I also had the pleasure to teach Morse code, participated in contests
from TF3JB, TF3WW, TF3IRA (and more) and initiated activity from rare call areas
with special callsigns, such as TF4F (Flatey island) and TF6M (Klaustur).
On May 23, 2009, I was elected chairman of the association for a term
of one year. At the 2010 general meeting, I was entrusted to continue to
lead the assocation for another term, i.e. until
2011.<BR><BR>During our stay in the United States (1990-1994) I was granted
a reciprocal permit by the FCC. It was great to be able to operate in the
States. It was also quite an experience to have the opportunity to visit
ARRL headquarters and the W1AW radio room; having been a member of the League
since 1974. We lived in NYC and CT; at which time I completed my undergraduate
studies at the <EM>City University of New York (CUNY)</EM> and graduate studies
at the <EM>University of New Haven (UNH) </EM>in Connecticut<EM>.</EM>
Helga María (my XYL) completed her graduate studies at <EM>UNH</EM> during
that time. <BR><BR>Hvanneyri (my QTH) is a village of about 400 inhabitants. It
is located on the south-west coast of Iceland not far from Reykjavík;
approx. 84 km's by road. Nevertheless, high mountains make communications with
hams in the capital difficult on VHF and UHF, except via
repeaters. Hvanneyri is probably best known for being the main campus
site of the Agricultural University of Iceland; located not far from the
historical site at Reykholt. <BR><BR>A QSL card is <STRONG>sure </STRONG>via
bureau or direct. If you QSL direct, kindly include a self-addressed
envelope with an IRC or 2 USD (sorry, 1 USD is no longer
sufficient so 1 USD means that the card will have to go via bureau). I
do not use E-QSL’s. <BR><BR><EM>November 3, 2007:</EM> I have discovered that my
CORRECT grid square is <STRONG>HP94cn.</STRONG> Consequently, the HP94bm printed
on my current QSL card is incorrect. I apologize for any
inconvenience.</FONT></SPAN></SPAN></P>
