(If in the U.S. only a 44 cent stamp is enough on each envelope.) QSL's are mailed in bulk on the 3rd of each month to the 3905 DX Bureau and ARRL Outgoing DX Bureau, also I work eQSL.

Hi to everyone, My name is Carlos and I have been a Ham Radio Operator since 1991. I got my first ham ticket in Miami, Florida for my birthday and received the call sign KD4EUO as a Novice. In 1992 I upgraded to Technician class just in time for the hurricane season and boy were we busy that year (Hurricane Andrew 08/24/92). Then after I worked the relief effort for the Miami-Dade County E.O.C. as a Shelter Communicator for 4 weeks decided to return to my home island of Puerto Rico since I lost everything to Andrew except the things I took to the shelter.

Once in Puerto Rico I requested a change of address and a new call sign, got the call WP4MNC. A few years later made my upgrade to general and changed my call, got NP3CC. In 1998 moved to Kissimmee, Florida and changed address and call sign again, this time I got a ugly one, KG4ELW. Took advantage of the change in the CW requirement and upgraded to Extra Class and changed my call one more time, this time I got a nice one AG4CD, but I was still not satisfied with it.

A good friend died with his wife in a ultra light plane crash and after waiting the required waiting period requested his old call sign and was granted to the actual one and this is the last one, KP3S. I love to DX and rag chew with the locals, enjoy digital modes, want to work satellites but the cost is too much for me but I will get into it one of this days. I retired from radio in 2005 and got into a Harley Davidson for 2 years. Now I am returning to the air waves again.

I am a disable veteran and because of my condition I spend most of the day on the HF bands doing phone and PSK31 qso's. Hope to make WAS soon. See you around the bands and listen for KP3S from the island of Puerto Rico, IOTA NA-99, 398 feet ASL.

Current interests. I am still highly motivated to provide emergency and special events communications support.

My current station is:

I WILL BE OFF THE AIR UNTIL JANUARY 2010 WHILE I SAVE SOME MONEY TO BUY A YAESU FT-2000D WITH A DMU-2000.

I speak Spanish, English and German. I am very active on the HF Bands on Phone, PSK31 and RTTY modes.
