I go by Bill, William way too formal.

New to Amateur Radio in 2011; having a great time exploring the numerous bands and modes - never a dull moment.

I am an active member of NFARL, current Membership Chairman and GOTA Station Captain for Field Day 2013 for the second time.

I use LOTW and attempt to process QSL cards for current month by the end of the following month. DX stations are a priority and I do provide self-addressed envelope and return postage!! Additionally, I update eQSL periodically as a courtesy.

Thank You in advance for your QSL's and patience as I tweak my "persona on the air".
