1963-1986 = SWL; 1986 - Novice KA1OEK; 1986 - Advanced KB1ZK (13 wpm); 2000 - Extra AA1VX.

As an SWL, I logged a great many stations with hours of enjoyment, QSL'ing 366 amateur radio countries and 200 SWBC stations.

Between SWLing and ham radio, I QSL'd 470 lighthouses, 456 aircraft, 283 ships, and 100 different satellites and spacecraft stations. What am I going to do with all those cards and certificates??

As a ham, I'm currently at 317 countries and 1100 prefixes confirmed.

I live about 45 miles west of Boston, just south of the New Hampshire border. I'm married and have 7 grandchildren.

I deeply appreciate all those hams who sent me QSL's.

I'm currently active on phone only, and I made my first satellite QSO via AO-27 on June 14, 2009.  Many thanks to my satellite "Elmer", Dave Webb (KB1PVH)
