My XYL Abby and I spent six weeks in the affected areas of Hurricane Katrina and Rita, traveling through Gulfport, Biloxi, Waveland, New Orleans, Cameron, Port Arthur, and Houston. During that time we mostly ran mobile missions for NCS/SHARES, including riding out Rita in Port Arthur, Texas. We produced a documentary for the Weather Channel during that time called "Postmark: Katrina", it usually airs near the anniversary of the storm.

Rigs here are both Icom 746 Pros into NVIS antennas for HF. Weak Signal VHF work is done using an Icom 910H, along with transverters for 222 and 902mhz. We're active on all bands 6 Meters to 2.3ghz. Use Winlink 2K with the SCS Modem, D-Star on 2-Meters and 440. APRS while mobile, etc.

While mobile, I run a Yaesu FT-857D into a Tarheel Model 300 screwdriver antenna.Participate in all VHF/UHF Contests, usually as a rover.

Two great kids, Trey and Samantha. Trey is studying to be a chief, while Samantha pursues her teaching degree at Alabama. Roll Tide! Married to Abby for 26 years. Best XYL in the world. She even helps out with tower construction at the EMA.During emergencies, she's usually the "guest op" and is very adept at passing traffic.

QSL 100% and trust me, I need your grid! Working hard for VUCC on all bands using only indoor antennas. You can see lots of QTH photos and track my progress via my blog at:

It's called: "Big Iron: Chasing VUCC on Indoor Antennas".

I love HF, but all the fun is on weak signal V/U guys! Remember, "VHF Ops Do It With More Frequency!"
