I am a retired Deputy Sheriff and have been a ham for 30 years. My main interest in ham radio is HF both Phone, CW and Digital. I have finished my WAS and VUCC with satellite endorsement and my DXCC (268 confirmed). I enjoy other hobbies such as hunting, fishing, and shooting skeet. My friend and companion is a black lab named Gracie. She is a real sweet heart. After my wife Nancy (KC4RAX) she is my best friend. Retirement has not been a problem for me. I don't have enough time to get everything done.
