I was first licensed in 1972, using a crystal controlled DX100, Hammarlund HQ-160, longwire and straight key. The first big station upgrade was my dad letting me use his automatic keyer from his days as first radio officer on the SSUS followed by a 4 element spider quad

Nowdays the station setups is:
   Primary rig:    Icom 756pro
   Second rig:    Icom 765 for when I work SO2R

   Antennas:      M2 10-30LP8 log periodic which you can see on the QSL card
                          Carolina Windom 160
                          M2 6M5X for 6m.

  Software:       DXLab

I am a life member of the ARRL and 10-10 International.
I can be found anywhere from 160 to 6m on various modes.
Thank you for stopping by, and hope to run into you on the bands!
