********This site is under construction ********

Hello and welcome to my web page.  My name is Jack C. Shutt and my amateur radio call sign is W9GT.  As you will see in these pages I am an avid amateur radio and electronics enthusiast , I have been a "ham"  since 1959.   I also have many other interests including old cars, 50-60's nostalgia, building all kinds of things including radio and electronics projects, woodworking, and various home improvement endeavors.  I enjoy collecting and restoring antique radios and tube-type amateur radio equipment.  Another interest is trains....both the model variety and the real thing.  I am a member of the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society and enjoy seeing and just being around it's wonderful restored Berkshire locomotive Nickel Plate 765.

I enjoy all modes , but I'm an avid fan of AM operation and I'm particularly fond of nostalgic/classic radio.  I first embarked on my amateur radio career in 1959 as KN9UBF.  My first AM phone operation was in 1960 using a screen-modulated Knight T-50 transmitter and a Heathkit AR-3 receiver.
