QSL

• I will QSL 100% to LoTW, typically as I conclude operating for the day

• I upload to eQSL periodically

• I will QSL domestic direct 100% with SASE, slower w/o SASE

• I will QSL DX through ARRL buro

• 3905 Century Club contacts please QSL through 3905 buros

• If you recieved one of my new QSLs, the picture was taken by a dear friend, Aaron Osborne, in the Ozark National Forest near the Ozark Highlands Trail in NW Arkansas. The picture is a shot of Murray Falls while standing back from the main falls.

Feel free to drop a note in the "Notes" area above. I've enabled it so anyone can post. I'm especially interested in any signal or audio reports, especially if you tried to reach me, but I was unable to copy you.

I'd like to ask everyone visiting this page to please take the time to sign up for and use LoTW. It is a great program that take very little time or effort to use and can really be a great help to hams in achieving contact goals!
