PLEASE EQSL OR QRZ LOG ONLY. I no longer send out paper QSL's.

I've been a Ham since 1992. I retired at the age of 51 from Ford Motor Company.

Current station consists of a Yaesu FT-950, Heil GM-5, Ameritron AL-80A, Plastar AT1500 & Autek WM1.

Also in line is my late Father's original HF rig he purchased in Sept. 1978. A Yaesu FT-101E which still works great today. I also have an Icom 7000 as a backup rig.

Antennas: Dipoles for 80, 40 & 30 meters. Hy-Gain TH-2 MK3, Home brewed elevated GP for 17 meters, home brewed 2 element yagi for 12 meters. Cushcraft 3 element for 6 meters.

Lately I have been operating a lot of JT65 on the HF bands. Still enjoy a good QSO on SSB.

During the golf season I play between 130-160 rounds. Most of those rounds are played at my home course St Thomas Golf & Country Club. Current handicap is 9.

Below is a photo of my 1999 Mustang Cobra SVT. This is my summer car, I drive it all summer.

I bought it in Jan 2012 and it had 30,000 original miles when I bought it.
