NX4DG -- QSL mgr & trustee, Capital City Contest & DX Group, Frankfort, KY

(I am not the manager for TG9NX. Those cards go to N4FKZ.)

I was licensed as a teen in February 1969 -- so I just celebrated my 40th year as a ham. I have held the callsigns WN4MEN, WB4MEN, WB9LHS, WB8TOB, KJ8S, WE4K and N4KZ. I was AB8TOB during the 1976 bicentennial year. Extra class since 1979. My current call of N4KZ was issued in 1996.

I have been active continuously over the past four decades despite having lived in a dozen different locations. I have always enjoyed trying new bands, new modes, new software and new ham radio challenges. I operate voice, CW and digital modes on 160-2 meters. Other ham interests include chasing DX, QRP, weak-signal VHF SSB/CW on 6 and 2 meters and operating HF mobile. I have worked in the publishing and broadcasting fields for more than 35 years. I hold DXCC (324 worked, 322 confirmed), the Worked All States and 5-Band Worked All Continents awards. I have worked 40 states from Kentucky on 2-meter SSB/CW and have 47 states and 57 countries worked so far on 6 meters. In the late 1990s, I worked 2-meter EME and enjoyed it tremendously. One of my current goals is to resume 2-meter moonbounce using the WSJT modes.
