Born 1973, first licensed as KF4LLP in 1995, then as KI4UEV in 2007 before creating WT4UX.

I have a K2 that tops out at 15.2 watts into a dipole in the backyard. I enjoy the building part of the hobby-- and troubleshooting whatever I build wrong-- at least as much as operating, but I am trying to spend more time learning to be a good operator. For now I'm focusing on PSK-31 and occasionally other digital modes. I'm using HRD and HRD utilities,both of which have great automation features thatsometimes get away from me.If you've been the victim of one of my macro errors, I apologize. Working on that.

I automatically upload all contacts in my logbook to eQSL. I also have aLoTW account and am learning to use it, maybe even correctly.

Valdese is in the foothills of North Carolina, approximately one hour west of Charlotte and one hour east of Asheville.
