AS YOU CAN SEE, I'M ACTUALLY IN A "SHACK", THE "MANSHACK" AS MY WIFE CALLS IT.

(THE DOGHOUSE IS ALSO MINE WHEN SHE GETS MAD).

LOTW, is up so our qso will be there soon. eQSL.cc (AG) ( http://www.eQSL.cc/Member.cfm?AJ4JZ) is also now up. You can also QSL to my address. No SASE necessary (but always appreciated)- I will reciprocate in kind. Bureau will work, too. Be warned- I'm a bit slow in returning paper qsl's. Feel free to e-mail me if i'm taking too long or you think I've missed you.

Ham for 3 years now! I'm running a Yaesu FT-450 to one of two G5RV dipoles @ 40 ft. up (one is oriented north/south and one is oriented east/west).I also have an inverted "L" up at about 60 ft., and a beverage antenna, both for 160m. In 2011, I have a 10m dipole up as well. I am getting some great DX and distant US contacts even though I'm working barefoot (100w). Also,I'm learning CW, so if you hear me messing up, feel free to e-mail me and straighten me out. I'm very active in the digital modes: PSK31, OLIVIA, RTTY, FELDHELL and whatever else DM780 supports. As of 2011, JT-65 is a new mode for me. I am also now on ECHOLINK and eQSO. 2012 finds me doing D-STAR with my DVDongle- good fun! Further, I have a healthy VHF/UHF FM station as well with which I do some simplex calling, but mostly local repeater work/nets. Finally, I enjoy contesting from time to time (just for the fun and the dx contacts!)

I'm an attorney and educator by profession, and I like Jeeps and jazz, raise chickens and children and very little cane these days.

I dislike quiche, unsweet tea, single-ply toilet paper, and other such malevolent contrivances.

Also, I'm a Boy Scouts of America (B.S.A.) merit badge counselor, cub scout leader and life scouter. PACK 4, Gastonia, NC.

Hablo Espanol, asi asi. Je parle Francais, comme ci comme ca, und Deutsch, ein wenig. Studio l'Italiano. Falo um puco Portugues.

I'll be listening for you on the air. Veritas vos liberabit.
