Mike - VE1ASE

Mike has been a ham radio operator since 1966 and holds the Canadian Advanced Amateur Certificate. Enjoys CW mostly but likes a good chat on SSB. I will be 75 years old this year (2021) and my wife Jeannie and I are so fortunate to have four adult children (two daughters, two boys) and eight grandchildren (four grand-daughters, four grandsons).  They are all the essence of my life.  I worked as an electrical engineer on very heavy electrical systems in heavy primary industry and as a consultant.  Systems involving voltages up 138kV and electric motor horse-powers up to 45,000 hp.  We live in south western New Brunswick near Saint John.  Summers are spent in Cape Breton NS at our off-grid cottage where I can be heard running my Icom 706 on solar power; and , otherwise kayaking the lake with Jeannie.
