Contester, #1 DXCC honor roll, and builder. President of Central Oregon DX Club and manager of the 7th Area QSO Party.

Started as KN1QBT in October 1960. After college I went into the Air Force and moved back to MA, passed the Extra and became W1FCC. I was out of the Air Force and working for Ten-Tec in TN when I received K4XU as a vanity call in 1976.  I have decided to stick with this one, regardless of the location. It makes for an interesting license plate collection after 50 years. When contesting, I'm disguised as N7XU.

I am a RF power MOSFET development and applications engineer after previous RF design experience at Ten-Tec, ETO and Harris Broadcast.

I no longer QSL via the bureau. I will QSL 100% with your SASE. All my electronic logs have been loaded to LOTW. If you made a QSO and cannot find it in LOTW, send me an email, I still have old paper logs.

N7XU/m: The 2013 7QP was May 4th. Results to be publushed on the 7QP June 10.

73, Dick
