Update: 4/16/12:

I am back on the air. HF and 6m only. Very interested in playing with new antennas and optimizing the station integration. Now building PMSDR receiver to use as IF panadapter for my IC-746Pro, as well as a nice general coverage receiver.

I ONLY use LoTW for new QSOs. I cannot promise any replies to paper cards, as I believe LoTW is the proper way of confirmation now. With so much mail theft, changing postal rates and loss - it only makes sense.

I have returned most of the paper cards in the past year, but still find myself behind. Eventually I will get thru the pile.

Thanks for reading this, and if I owe you a card,check LoTW first as I'm pretty certain it's there. Logs for KA2RDO are also there as well.
