I was first licensed in 1959 as KN1LTJ. My first rig was a Heathkit DX-35 transmitter, with a Hallicrafters S-77A. Starting in the 60's I operated CW, Phone (AM then SSB), and RTTY. I have always enjoyed CW, but I operate many digital modes (PSK31, RTTY, SSTV, and CW) as well as SSB. Currently I use an off center fed 125FT dipole for 80, and the Steppir DB18e. I enjoy QRP, and I always bring it along when traveling in the motorhome. I have an Icom IC-7700 with an IC-PW1, a Kenwood TS-2000, a Yaesu FT-847, and a Yaesu FT-817, as well as assorted gear for vhf/uhf FM. I upload my log to LOTW frequently, and if you have that capability, an LOTW confirmation would be appreciated. After a 25 year career as a DJ, I have been working as an IT manager and programmer.
