Greetings from Tom, N4NSP & Libby, W4ELK...

Photo is of my wife, Libby, and our camping cat, Gamby Roberts, on a rainy, winter weekend at Cabin 32 at Westmoreland State Park (GPS: N38d 10', W76d 52'). We enjoy spending a long weekend at an available cabin and operate HF portable. Enjoy checking in on ECARS, Va Fone Net, and in the evenings listening to CHWO, AM 740 "All Time Favorites" in Toronto.

Use several different 2-band and 3-band QRP Hy-Power Antennas with great success, covering 10 to 160 meters both at home and while camping. Have a TenTec Argonaut V, Model 516, (20 watts) to operate HF.  When camping during the fall and winter evenings, I'm usually on 75 and 160 meters. 

In the Newport News area, Libby and I talk on 146.580 MHz with a PL tone. 

Also an EMT-Enhanced with Gloucester County VFRS www.gvfrs.org  and member of York County CERT. Use the Comprehensive, Guide I, and Mountain Medic II Adventure Medical Kits. Completed Advanced Provider ITLS course, Pediatric Education for Prehospital Professionals (PEPP) course, and numerous on-line FEMA courses, including the Professional Development Series.

73s, Tom G., N4NSP
