Hello! Welcome to my backyard! Glad you looked me up. West Seneca is located just a few miles from Buffalo, NY. Here is a picture of the Rohn HD-BX 48' tower with a Mosley Classic 33, a Cushcraft D3W triband WARC dipole, the 2 meter vertical, Ham-4 rotor, 1/4 wave 40m vertical, and a 80-40m trap dipole. Recently added a 160m Inverted-L up 46'.

Married and father to four wonderful children. I have been a Radio Amateur since 1972 when I was first licensed at the age of 15.

Love to work/chase DX and participate in an occasional contest (DX). Member of the Western New York DX Assoc. I have earned DXCC-CW, SSB and Mixed. (currently 320 confirmed). SSB and RTTY are OK but CW is my favorite mode, and I use a Begali Simplex paddle. I am also fond of the Bencher Hex paddle.
