A Native New Yorker, Arizona is my Adopted State. I've lived here for 17 years now.

Ham radio is my most recent hobby endevour, joining Amateur Astronomy, Geocaching & Model Railroading & R/C Planes.

Several of my freinds also have similar interests, so we refer to ourselves as the Astrocaching Hams!

Currently, I am using a Kenwood TH-D7 HT unit and a Kenwood TM-D710A Mobile.

The Home Station is an FT8900R for VHF/UHF into a Diamond V2000X Vertical, and an Icom IC-7000- with an AT-7000 Auto Tuner into a G5RV Junior Antenna.

I made my first satellite QSO on AO-51 with W6AJP. Used the TH-7D and a homebrew yagi antenna.

I enjoy receiving QSL's and will send QSL's for All HF &Sat Contacts and IRLP Contacts.

QSL Direct for SAT's no SASE required in the US. Direct or eQSL for IRLP and others.

A bit behind on getting cards out. last mailing was November 11. I'll start getting them out a few each week till caught up Will also begin to use the bureau for DX contacts. Sorry about the delay but it's been a hectic few weeks. All Contacts are in Lotw and ESQl (AG), so you should be able to confirm. If you need a card for an award, drop me an email and I'll get it out to you

I finally got around to uploading my entire log to HRDlog.net on Jan 25 2012.
