You may have worked me during my one year DXpedition to St. Helena Island as ZD7X back in 2008. Perhaps we meet during my 7 month CW only DXpedition to Cambodia as XU7XXX in 2009. Over 67,000 QSO's have gone into the log from these two DXpeditions with another 16,000+ from various trips to Martinique as TOØO. I'm the license trustee of WWØWWW which gets activated in the major DX contests from the KCØW shack. I moved to North Dakota in 2010 to construct a large contesting/DXing station. The 160 & 80 meter 4-Squares use Rohn 45G tower sections due to our extreme weather here. I have 200 meters of Rohn 65G which is being used for the numerous rotating towers. The install should be completed sometime by 2016. It's a BIG project for a single person (me) to be taking on by himself.
The rotating HF stacks will consist of: 40 Meters - 4/4/4 20 Meters - 7/7/7 15 Meters - 6/6/6/6 10 Meters - 7/7/7/7
I also enjoy operating CW mobile. The radio is a Kenwood TS-480hx to a Scorpion screwdriver antenna. I have a 900 watt solid state homebrew amplifier in the mobile as well. How many guys are crazy enough to be running 900 watts from their mobile? Not many!!! The only mode I operate while mobile is CW except for when I occasionally lower my standards & use SSB. I'm employed in the oil industry here in North Dakota. We are the nations second leading oil producing state.
Please Spot Me On The DX Cluster.
QSL cards are to be sent to my Minnesota PO Box with the exception of all ZD7X cards which should be sent to my DX Manager, WØMM. ABSOLUTELY NO LoTW, BUREAU or ELECTRONIC QSL's ACCEPTED. All DX stations please enclose $2 or current IRC's. All USA stations just enclose your SASE. Call me old fashioned but I still enjoy receiving paper QSL cards in the mail. I have no plans of joining any Electronic QSLing services anytime soon. Kindly seek out other North Dakota amateurs if you need ND confirmed using LoTW.
*** Haiti 2013 *** 6 July - 25 July I will be DXing from the extreme northern tip of Haiti as HH5/KCØW. This will be a 100% CW only DXpedition. Bands of operation will be 160 - 6 meters using vertical antennas placed directly over salt water. My operating location in Haiti has unobstructed HF takeoffs to Africa, Europe & North America. Haiti has been underrepresented on CW so hopefully HH5/KCØW will go into many CW enthusiast's logbooks. The HH5/KCØW license request was given final approval by Conseil National des Télécommunications on 8 May. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Bonjour à tous depuis mon nouveau QTH à l'ouest du Dakota du Nord. Il se peut que vous m'ayez contacté depuis mon expédition d'un an sur l'île de Ste Hélène où j'étais ZD7X en 2008 ou depuis mon expédition de 7 mois au Cambodge (CW seulement) où j'étais XU7XXX en 2009.Plus de 67 000 QSO ont été effectués pendant ces 2 expéditions. A cela vous pouvez rajouter 18 000 autres QSO effectués pendant mon séjour en Martinique où j'étais TO0O. Je suis maintenant dans le Dakota du Nord où je suis en train de construire une station de concours/DX de première classe. Les 4-squares pour le 160m et le 80m (qui utilisent des sections de pylône Rohn 45G) ont été achetés en plus des 200 mètres de Rohn 65G pour construire les pylônes rotatifs de mon système. L'ensemble devrait être prêt en 2016. Vous pouvez me trouver en CW mobile dans le Dakota du Nord pendant la construction de la station. L'antenne dans le mobile est un screwdriver et la radio est un TS-480 de 200 watts. Le seul mode que j'utilise lors de mes déplacements est la CW (sauf pendant les concours et le DX). L'installation d'un ampli de 900 watts dans le mobile devrait se faire sous peu. ****** VEUILEZSVPENVIOYERUNSPOTSURLECLUSTERSIVOUS M'ENTENDEZ ****** Envoyez vos cartes QSL à ma boîte postale dans le Minnesota sauf pour les demandes de carte pour ZD7X qui devront être envoyées à mon QSL manager, WØMM. Aucune confirmation électronique ou via bureau ne sera acceptée. Les stations DX doivent joindre 2 dollars ou les IRCs qui sont en cours. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________
