I upload ALL of my log entries (including contest logs) to the ARRL Log Of The World (LOTW).

I am also uploading my logs to eQSL.cc for those that use that service.

QSL Info: I prefer to use ARRL Log Of The World (LOTW). However, I will QSL direct for North America QSO's. An SASE is appreciated. I will return QSL 100% all cards received (and QSO is in the log) :-)

DX Please QSL via ARRL Log of the World if possible. Via bureau or direct if you do not use LOTW.

I have been licensed since 1975. I am capable of being active on all bands from 160m to 432mhz, however, my passion is 6 meters.

Home station includes: Kenwood TS2000, Heath SB-200 amp converted to 6m only, Yaesu FL-2100B HF amp, Hygain TH3 HF tribander, 5 element 6m yagi with a 17' boom (W5WVO design), Cushcraft 4218XL 2m yagi, Cushcraft 3219 2m yagi, 22 element 432mhz yagi (K1FO design), Butternut HF6V, and various wire antennas for the low bands.

Mobile station includes: Yaesu FT-100D, 6m vertical, 2m vertical, homebrew DK3 type screwdriver antenna.

I can be found using CW, SSB, RTTY, PSK31, and various WSJT modes. My favorite mode is CW, and my favorite bands are 40m and 6m.

I retired in 1995 from the US Navy, having spent 20 years on 640 class SSBN submarines as a ballistic missile fire control technician. I held the callsigns WB4TCM and then WA6YUH before going overseas. I was fortunate in that I had the opportunity to live in Scotland for two years during my Navy career, where I held the callsign GM5CDS. Returning from Scotland in 1979, I spent 16 years in Charleston, South Carolina, where I held the callsign KB4VT. I was in Oregon from May of 1995 until Nov 2000.  While in Oregon, I held the callsign W7RAE. I was in Colorado Springs from November 2000 until September 2008. In Colorado, my call was N0VR.

I have now relocated back home to the South Carolina Low Country near Charleston. As of early December 2009, we are on our 4 acre farm in Cottageville, SC (EM92rx).
