Hello, and thanks for looking me up! My current working conditions are an Elecraft K3, K2/100 and KPA500 amp, and Palstar AT1500DT tuner. The HF antennas are a Hygain TH3MK3, for 10-15-20m at 42', and HF9V 26' ground mounted vertical, for the other bands. Latest project, KPA500 kit build pictures: http://s25.photobucket.com/albums/c62/ForestM1/KPA500%20KIT%20Build/

I recently recieved a liver/kidney transplant, 8/21/11, after living with PSC for 11 years. PSC is a rare, auto-immune liver disease, that causes chirrosis and eventually death. I am thankful to Almighty God, the many prayers, my Donor Family, and awesome Surgeons, and my precious wife, Leah, who was/is my Angel, throughout this journey. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jqVNHqgR9A, www.organdonor.gov http://www.pscpartners.org PLEASE SIGN YOUR ORGAN DONOR CARD, THANKS!
