Click for more detail... QSL I QSL the old school way. This means no eQSL and no LOTW. While I am sure each have their benefits I do not use them. Why? eQSL is a business and to do it 100% the right way you have to pay. But more importantly unless you download the virtual fantasyland eQSLs on to your HD you are risking that if eQSL ever goes out of business you will have lost your collection. LOTW is a nice idea but I frankly don't want every QSO I have logged uploaded to a website to be later mined by someone. I still believe in what little rights of privacy are left and yes I am a Life Member of the ARRL and support the legislative work they do on our behalf. For TI5/K3LU, TI5NW & YS4/TI5NW: QSLs via W3CV. He has the cards and logs. Return postage SASE PLEASE! Bio Webpages: My photos on Flickr.com Great Youtube Vid (not my video) My Most Recent QSL

At this point you are probably wondering who is Dick WA3EUI? Dick was one of the first ham’s I ever met when I was 13. Dick would host the Bowie Amateur Radio Club meetings at his house since probably he was a bachelor and had the room. I didn’t actually realize it was his home and thought it was a clubhouse until after a few meeting. His living room had metal folding chairs, no paintings or photos on the wall but stacks of radio magazines and boxes tubes as well as other obsolete radio parts free for the taking if you needed them. Dick’s radio room was the kitchen where I suppose a dining room table would go. He had a long table stacked with classic radio gear. Dick definitely was a no frills OM who always could be found drinking his tea mix out of old Lipton tea jars. Dick made his living at what was even a dying trade in the late 70s of repairing typewriters. What I remember most about Dick was how he never looked down at what few teenage hams there were in the club. Sadly the OM died while I was in college in the mid-80s. Some how I can’t imagine that old typewriter repairman operating today’s modern gear. Dick was definitely an analog man. RIP OM.
Here I am in 1981
In 2007 I got a chance to meet Nobel Laureate (Peace 1987) and the President of Costa Rica, Oscar Arias while in TI-land.
This was taken Thanksgiving Weekend 2008 on the Chesapeake Bay. I'm the guy on the right.
