I really enjoy the contesting aspect of amateur radio. I am enjoying cw more and more, and love chasing dx. I also have a new found joy in satellite hamming. Hope to hear you sometime soon on one of the birds!!

I belong to a ham family, father (WB4PHC), sis (KI4NQH), and brother-in-law (KG4LZF). Together we form "The Whole Ham Family" club. Our callsign is KI4RDM, and a trip there here on QRZ will give you a link to our club homepage. Visit there to see if we have any upcoming events.
