100% QSL back for all calls: NØODK , 3W6DK , 3W2DK , NØODK/VE3, and future calls , Bureau or direct. More Vietnam trips coming up.

I will be re-learning CW to get more QSOs and low bands. Please be understanding for slow but trying. Goal is to try to get 160M DXCC and 15M CW DXCC. Currently building a SW+20 QRP then after that plan on making a change to NorCal40A from novice to lower band.

Member of the Stillwater Amateur Radio Assn (SARA- KBØSCE, WØJH). A great club for helping members out with upgrades and Handi-Ham program! I am active in the Member Assistance Program to help others install antennas and equipment with the other club members and Handi-Hams. With SARA club, I help St. Paul Fire dept. (SPEARS) with some ATV/radio communications during special events. Spend a lot of time on 160 meters with QSOs with friends. Portable operations include train mobile, lighthouses, on frozen lakes, and other unique areas. Also a VE helping out with giving tests for Ham Radio through SARA.

I use LOGGER32 and N1MM logging programs.

Currently have ICOM radios, QRP radios, a 301 foot inverted V dipole (north-south). Tower is a Rohn HDBX 48 foot with Cushcraft X7 yagi (seven element tribander). I am not using the GAP Eagle anymore. K9AY antenna and Inv L both will be going up in fall 2009. Will try my 5 element 6 Meter beam soon.

  I make and use other antennas as time goes by to try and learn. Portable Antennas are V-Dipole (160m to 6m) and/or DK9SQ Mast/LOOP (6m to 40m) with ICOM-706MKIIG or QRP radios.

Mobile antennas are Hamsticks 10m, 15m, 17m, 20m, and 80m (more info later on this). Mobile and/or portable operating so far in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, South Dakota, North Dakota, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Texas, and VE3.

On Nov. 11, 1999 I passed my General class written AND 13 wpm CW test! On July 20, 2000 I passed the Extra class! I am also a VE through SARA club helping give out ham radio tests.

Attended Dayton Hamvention in 2001 and 2006. (2010?) Very Fun!!!

!!! VIETNAM !!!

First trip to Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam was great, between Nov. 16 to 30, 1999 for two and half weeks of ham radio operating and touring. I got about 1700 contacts and will make more trips to Vietnam. Stay tuned. Call sign is 3W6DK operating on 10,15,20, and 40 meter bands. Future trips may also include an IOTA depending on funds.

***** QSL Bureau (outside USA) or direct SASE, Greenstamp SAE, or eyeball (or via Bureau) for 3W6DK and NØODK (and 3W2DK). Also sometimes use WF5E QSL service. I will 100% QSL return back if in log! I want to finish my DXCC!  Not a lot of QSL requests on Vietnam card. Bad QSL return rate. I need North Dakota next trip. Some trips not operating radio. Sorry no eQSLs.***** Older logs now in LoTW.  Newer logs will be awhile before on LoTW. I want QSL cards more!

Member of Stillwater Amateur Radio Assn in MN,  Twin City DX Club - TCDXA, ARRL, and couple other clubs. (President of TCDXA 2008 and 2009. Vice-President of Stillwater Amatuer Radio Assn. 2008.)

(For n0odk call) Going to start working on the DXCC with 294+ countries worked  and 292 confirmed. (257 confirmed PHONE with ARRL so far as of Oct. 2005)(ARRL received cards on Nov 6th 2002 and I got my award on Jan 12, 2002 for 150 DXCC).

IOTA awards are 100 and 200.  Worked 335+ IOTAs.  256+ IOTAs confirmed.

And 160 meter WAS SSB awards, I have ONE state left to finish WAS award (Hawaii !!). Hawaii stations want to try to SKED, please let me know!!!

Finished 80M SSB WAS award. (Jan.2006)

I have just started 40 meters WAS, more then 46 confirmed. I am very active on 160 meters.  I have not tried hard on awards yet.

I enjoy QSOs most with Asian countries and learning about them. I read and study Asian culture and other things about them.

Enjoy ham radio, reading book (books), photography, wood working other hobbies.

I try to collect CW keys and bugs.

Looking for 15m monoband yagi (or maybe QUAD).

Also QSO on Echolink at times.

I would like to operate with a group on a large DXpedition. Watch me for future Vietnam and Asian trips soon. Outlook looks like fall/winter 2010 or 2011 for Vietnam for radio operating. Trips to VN may OR may not include radio operating. I want good conditions for over in Vietnam for bad noise on bands from the city there is bad enough.

Some of the projects I want to start are operating on an IOTA, get back into QRP, and get on low bands while in Vietnam. I hope to try some digital modes soon.
