Received my tech class in 2005. Finally studied for the general class and passed the exam in Feb. 2011 Great feeling...!!!! I started working CW in 40 meters December 2010, CW is great..!!! Anytime you here me and we can't make contact feel free to shoot off and e-mail and let me know you heard me. darr6773@hotmail.com Anytime you want to make contact, e-mail me and we can set a time.

I a, currently using a loaner rig. Icom 706. The Kenwood TS-180s ison the blink so its time to buy another rig.

I really ejoy CW mode more than anything else. Other digital modes are fun but CW is tops in my book. QRP 5 watts or less is something new to me but it seems to be worth the time. CW is my favorite mode. 

I will E-QSL or Direct QSL...I will start QSL through the Bureau very soon, please be patient.
