Greetings!! My main interests are DXing and Contesting on the HF bands, mainly CW. I also enjoy homebrewing and using the old tube gear, shown in the pic above. I recently received my Diamond DXCC certificate and have had fun chasing the DDXCC countries this past year.
Besides working DX, I can be found hunting for RDA ( http://www.rdaward.org ), WFF ( http://www.wff44.org ), and IOTA ( http://www.rsgbiota.org ). I participate in the CQWW and ARRL DX contests from the Western Pennsylvania Multi/Multi station of Tim, K3LR, primarily on the 10 meter station.
