I am a professional musician (vocalist, piano/organ, and saxophone) as well as a music educator. I am active in APRS, storm chasing, DXing, contestingand awards nets.
In August 2010 I was nominated to the ARRL A-1 Operators Club,something I'm very proud of! The ranks of the members of the A-1 Operators Club include people that I have known for many years, all of whom are among some of the finest people I have ever known. What an awesome feeling to be included among their ranks!
Please join us on for the North American Traffic & Awards Net! More information available at www.natanet.info. NATA offers a series of 100% FREE awards on nets which are run by friendly, helpful operators who want to help YOU achieve your personal operational goals! Give us a try and see the difference for yourself!! Join us daily for SSB nets at 2330z on 7185 kHz and 0245z on 3905 kHz. We also offers CW, RTTY, and PSK nets as well!
I QSL through eQSL and LOTW exclusively and no longer normally issue "hard"cards. If you need a hard card I am happy to provide oneif you include an SASE with your card. I print hard cards about 4 times a year so please understand that they will be delayed considerably. Please be patient as I do them in batches when I can complete, print, and mail them out in bulk.
