Due to the rising costs of printing, postage, availability and price of IRCs, postal theft, slow overseas postal service, etc., I will QSL 100% ONLY via eQSL.

NOTE: If you use eQSL, please make sure you take the time to get your Authenticity Guaranteed (AG). It is free and without it, your QSL does not count towards awards!

My AM station is Collins. A 32V2 xmtr and a 75A4 rcvr.

This is my 1984 Hot Rod Hurst Oldsmobile Drag Race Car. I travel the country displaying this car!
