Licensed back in 1988 at the age of 23, I was bitten by the “DX bug” immediately. Since then I have been very active chasing DX on 10 – 160m. and from 1997 on 6m. also. I operate SSB, CW and RTTY and the other digital mode. Currently on the # 1 DXCC Honor Roll and I am proud of my mixed totals of 348/340 confirmed on HF and 196/194 on 6m. band. I have all my logs with the “EasyLog5” logging program which I am a beta-tester. I always QSL DX contacts 100% via the bureau (direct for a new country/mode or if you send me your QSL direct). Have a lovely family with a great, understanding wife !

CU on the bands … 73.
