I have been a ham for over 35 years and have always enjoyed the hobby. I may be found on the air almost any time of the day or night and will chat with just about anyone about anything.

I worked as a broadcasting engineer for a number of years in AM, FM and TV. Also spent a good bit of time in two way shops and with industrial control systems before going across to software. I cut my programmers teeth in embedded systems in the early 80's with 8080, Z-80 and 8088 processors, next came UNIX, C, C++ and Java. I'm currently working as an SOA architect using middleware as the bridgework for all the systems that need to work and play well together.

I use HRD and it submits each log entry to eQSL for me but since the ARRL doesn't recognize them yet I appreciate paper cards or an eQSL with a LOTW confimation. I update LOTW on a weekly basis. I can be found on 40 and up and most evenings on the 3905 early 40m net at 7.178. 10 and 6 when they are open.
