I have been interested in amateur radio for quite some time, and I finally decided to get my license in January 2011. Since that time I have been learning constantly about this great hobby. My main interest when I began was HF. Since becomming a Ham I have found I also enjoy VHF/UHF for local and Net use, and most recently I have started exploring sattelite use. With so many ways to enjoy Amateur Radio I think I will be involved for a long time.

Paper QSL's sent and preferred. You can't decorate a shack with LOTW. I try to use limited edition stamps on my QSL envelopes when available for those who collect them.

This is a copy of the QSL card I am currently using.

My antenna tower. My new shack will be at the base of the tower attached to the back of my garage.

My current radio. An FTdx 401 that I bought in unknown condition. After several hours on the bench and many more cleaning I am happy to say it is working very well.
