I was first licensed as VE2AME in Montréal in 1959; however, I was not active during long work assignments overseas in Saudi Arabia and Russia. I am now retired after a career of 37 years in telecommunications but still keep up a level of activity in amateur radio regulatory matters.

Now in Ottawa, Canada's capital, I have signed VE3QN since 1993.(I also hold the call VE2QNN). I enjoy HF DX'ing and have attained DXCC. I can also be found on 6m, 2m and 70 cm. I work mostly phone but also operate CW, PSK31, RTTY and other digital modes. When we travel, we try to bring radio along and, where possible, to visit friends I have met on the air.

I am happy to accommodate QSL requests. My log is uploaded regularly to LotW where VE3QN, VE3RBE and VE2AME logs back to 1973 are archived. I'll be glad to reply to QSL cards sent either directly or via the bureau. Likewise, via eQSL.cc.

I am a member of RAC, ARRL, QCWA (#32626), the Ottawa Amateur Radio Club (OARC), the Ottawa Valley Mobile Radio Club (OVMRC) and the International Amateur Radio Club (4U1ITU).
