Thanks for visiting!

I've been a Ham since 1989 passing the code test back in the day (as KC4LQC). I've had the pleasure of working almost 50 countries, with the majority of them QRP. After the early 90's cycle waned, I put up my equipment and just recently pulled the receiver out of the attic. I currently spend the majority of my time on 2m and really enjoy simplex and antenna construction in my spare time. On HF I enjoy WSPR, PSK, Hell and Olivia and am a die hard HF QRPer. I really enjoy 2m weak signal stuff and if you're interested in a terrestrial or MS 2 meter weak signal sked, please send me an email at strikeken@gmail.com and we'll give it a shot.always up for a new contact.

In the last few years, I've also begun to play with flying a powered paraglider also know as a ppg. Thus I've recently gained the vanity call N4PPG. There arew some videos on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/user/strikeken that show what its all about. A great hobby
