Recently moved to Brooklyn NY, close by Prospect Park, a park that was built with all the knowledge gained from the creation of New York's central park.

I enjoy CW, contesting, dxing, and rufzxp.  I have also been exploring RTTY and JT65.

Most recently I have been part of the team at N6RO and also the team at WP2Z.  

My station is an Elecraft K-Line with wire antennas (currently no antennas).  I also have a QS1R receiver which I use with CW Skimmer Server.  If you are curious about propagation or DX, check out the RBN.

If you like CW, check out the NCCC Sprint Ladder, a short 30 minute contest every Thursday night that attracts some of the best CW contesters in the world. 

I have been fortunate to have some great mentors/elmers in ham radio over the years.  Those include:  K8MJZ, AA8U, KC8EK, K8CC, N8CC, K8AQM, K8SMC, V31BB and N6RO.  

My goals in ham radio are currently:

• to get better at cw, particularly SO2R.
• to build and tinker with the following: superhet receiver design, software defined radio, simulated beam forming, dsp, etc.
• to finisn the contest logging software program I started and use it in a contest.
• to make it to the top 3 in NAQP CW
• to bring my family on a "vacation" that involves me doing a serious 48 hour effort from a tropical location in a DX contest.
• to make it into the top 100 overall on rufzxp.
• to find somewhere to guest-op on the east coast.
