Member of: Northren California Contest Club, LARGE and LARK

I am QSL manager for : TF0GX,TF8GX,TF8RX,TF7GX,TF4RX,TF7RX,TF7X, TF3XEN and TF3ZA.

 

QSL Requests for any TF station, Direct Only no Buro cards accepted

To receive QSL in return, please enclose robust SAE and 2 “green stamps” or NEW IRC VALID UNTIL 2013 (old IRC valid until December 2009 will not be accepted).

For my personal KT6YL QSL cards; I QSL Direct, Buro or LOTW.   

      

If you request a QSL for one of the  DX station that I am the manager for, PLEASE read my instructions first.

If possibe DO NOT send IRC's! If you have to anyway, THEY HAVE to be validated on the left hand side by the post office of purchase or I can not get stamps for them, curent  IRC's will expire soon, I don't except the 2009 IRC's anymore after September 2009!

STATESIDE STATIONS please include a self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE).

HAMs OUTSIDE of the USA you will need to send a self addressed envelope (SAE) + 2$(USD) for return postage. The reason I ask for return postage is because I  receive 1000's of QSL requests for my Iceland stations, I can not affort to send on own expenses, I also have to ship the cards to my stations in Iceland, this cost me 20 dollars each time I send  a package to my stations in Iceland. Thank you for understanding.

I QSL DIRECT ONLY for my DX stations for whom I am manager!

If possible DO NOT USE IRC's, rather send US $, I have problems in the post office to exchange IRC's.

I get cards every day without return envelope and return postage, I can not send your card back, I only use the QSL bureau for my personal QSL cards.

PLEASE mail your card WITH an S.A.E. =(SELF ADDRESSED ENVELOPE) and return postage to:

A little about me.... Hello Fellow Amateurs,

I have been licensed since 1993; Since May 2003 I have the Call KT6YL. I was born and raised in Belgium, my first Belgian call was ON9CYL, later I became ON4CAT, that callsign I still hold. When I lived in Belgium I was very active on the bands. I was operating in the contest team of OTxA from 1997 till 2001. I really enjoy working pile ups and contesting. DX peditions are another passion; I have been to Libya (5A21PA) in 1998 as the first YL operator in that country in 35 years. In 2001 I was on Flatey Island (TF4RX) for a DXpedition together with Gulli TF8GX. A few times operated from lighthouses as ON4CAT/lgt from Blankenberge lighthouse in Belgium and also as K1L from the New London Ledge lighthouse (off shore) of the coast of CT, USA. For many years I was also the President of the BYLC (Belgian Young Lady's Club)

I am the manager of two very active stations, TF8GX (Gulli) and now also for TF3ZA (Jon)!  I reply on every QSL card that comes in WITH, an S.A.E (return envelop) and SUFFICIANT return postage as soon as possible.

My husband Kevin (KG6D) and I, met on the air in 2001, we became real close friends, and after we met a few times in person I moved to California together with my Dalmatian Cesta. Kevin and I got married August 7th 2002.

Picture :Kevin & Tiny in EKO Eeklo Radio Club Belgium, August 2008.

Next to Amateur Radio both Kevin and I love animals and nature and bird watching, we go on bird walks when we have a chance, combined with that I also enjoy my other hobby 'Nature Photography' May I ask everyone who read this, please be good to our wildlife and nature!!

I love designing QSL cards for my husband and myself and for friends who ask me for my help.

We also have two sweet dogs, Cesta  (Dalmatian) & Topaz (Shepherd mix), they have no problem to talk me/us in to a walk twice a day. However Topaz is now 16 years old and has slowed down a lot, but she is still a happy go lucky dog. (August update) Topaz passed away August 15th 2009 , she almost made it to 17 years old. We miss her dearly, it is very hard to get used to the idea that she is gone.

Cesta & Topaz

During 2008 we got back  active in Dxing and contesting, after a few years very low radio activity. We're a member of LARGE, LARK, NCCC & NCDXF.

Listen for us during contests as K6LRG or WV6I, these are the Contest Club call signs of LARGE.  Or with our own call from our home station.

My  most favorite contest modes are SSB & RTTY, I just started using RTTY late 2008 and ever since   I have been hooked on that mode.

Kevin & I are both also Volunteer Examiners and  also help out with Emergency Communications in San Joaquin Valley.

 

 

 

 

Hope to meet you on the air!! Good DXing… 73/88 de Tiny KT6YL/ON4CAT
