The photo above is the Collins station (32S-3, 312B-4, 75S-3C, 62S-1, 30S-1) I ran from the early 1970s until the end of the century.  It is gone now - with the exception of the Vibroplex paddle.  While my new station equipment is really high-tech by comparison, I can't get a picture of it that looks as warm and friendly as the old, reliable Collins station! 

Continuously licensed in Ohio as K8EUR since 1957, I enjoy DXing on 160 and 80 meters, and chasing new ones on all the other bands for the DXCC Challenge total.  I QSL to DX stations 100% via the Bureau, and also via ARRL Logbook of the World (LOTW).  All the DX contacts in my paper logs since 1957 have been put into a digital log and uploaded to LOTW.  So far, my oldest LOTW confirmation dates to 1968, and my first confirmed DX contact with a paper QSL was G2ART on 15 meters on November 3, 1957.  I now operate on SSB, CW, RTTY and other digital modes.

Living on a small city lot, I realize the importance of getting the most antenna performance from available space.  DX Engineering has the most advanced products and technical support to allow anyone to get the most performance from their stations and be competitive with other DXers and Contesters.  .....and they do all this with guaranteed lowest prices.

During my pre-1980 VHF days, I completed WAS and WAC on 6 meters.  Just back on the HF DX trail since 2002, I finally passed the 300 confirmed total for DXCC.  A wise old DXer once told me "The first 300 are the easiest". Now I know what he meant!
