Since I got my K2 in May of 06 my operating has primarily been CW. I'm a tad on the slow side, but, it's great to make those contacts, both stateside and DX.

I primarily operate with 100 or less. Warmer months see me tinkering with QRP gear and operating in the sun.

Station consists of K2/100 W/KAT.

I've got a Begali Simplex that I purchased at Dayton from Mr. Begali that I really love. I don't think I'll be able to stop at just one.

I live in town, and haven't pursued getting aluminum in the air. I spend a fair bit of time modeling and experimenting with wire antenna configurations in my back yard. I primarily utilize a 40M vertical, an 80M L, and a 20M half-square with various other bits of wire that come up and go down when the weather isn't too cool.

I have have QSL'd every contact, and will continue to do so! Bureau or Direct.

Many thanks to the N0MA crew for giving me an interest I didn't know I had, and then hanging around to answer the millions of queries I seem to be able to generate.
