[Jim Spencer]

The Times-Republican reports Tom Morgan W4UTK, 81, has use of three operating stations with a 500-watt amplifier in a comfortable ham shack at the Embers Retirement Community.

The newspaper says Tom, who has been a short-wave or "ham" radio enthusiast much of his life, knew he wanted to become an electrical engineer at age 12.

The ham shack and equipment were all made possible by Brad Lee W0VFT, of Phoenix and CEO of Trilogy-Embers, the company that owns Embers and a number of other retirement centers in the United States.
