My primary interests are chasing DX, County and Island hunting. I can usually be found in the extra portion of the 20 meter band during the day and around the center of the band in the evening. I participate in two contests a year; the OMISS QSO Party and the Wisconsin QSO Party. I'm 62 years old, retired and live in a rural area of Northwestern Wisconsin. Thanks to all who have helped me during the contests and regular QSO's by being there and sending cards, it's very much appreciated. I QSL 100% on all received cards. (SASE Appreciated) All logs uploaded to LOTW on November 11, 2008. Will update monthly from now on as well as using traditional QSL Cards. Pse, if you are DX and I send you an sase and GS/IRC,  PLEASE respond with your paper card ! I do use e-qsl and will return one if I get one, but I need traditional cards for DXCC credit with the ARRL. Thanks, & 73
