Hi name is Ed Rodriguez, been in Ham radio since the 70's my first call sign was WP4DSZ, Then NP4GD, now WP4O, My main interest in the hobby is VHF/UHF Weak Signal work. My VHF/UHF Elmer is KP4EOR Dave Ternant.(Thanks Dave) My Novice Elmer was KP4DJ Willie Werner and KP4CH Tom Banks. My other interest are HF CW operations. I now reside in Tampa Florida.  If you need a qsl card from me I would appreciate a SASE, but not required for qsl confirmation. Catch you on the MAGIC Band!
