Welcome My Dear Friend
Greetings From The Island Of Tasmania
Thank you for taking the time to look up my callsign.
I live on a small acreage in a rural area of North West Tasmania, about 30 kilometres south west of Burnie.
My main interest in the hobby is CW and is most definitely my preferred mode of operation.
Occassionally I will use RTTY and SSB, but not on a regular basis.
Previous calls held were VK4EMS, VK8AM and P29BI (Bougainville island).
In March of 2012 I obtained the call VK7CW after being QRT for nearly 12 years.
Having previously obtained DXCC as VK4EMS, I decided it would be a real challenge to start afresh as VK7CW.
Therefore I became active as VK7CW with a DXCC tally of zero, starting over again totally from scratch.
In just under12 months I obtained ARRL DXCC and ARRL WAS both in CW.
If you are wondering about my paddle shown above, I obtained it from Yuri (UR4CDX) in the Ukraine.
If you work me and would like to exchange QSL cards please take the time to read my QSL Policy below.
If I haven't worked you already I do look forward to meeting you on the bands.
Best 73's de Steve.
QSL POLICY
LOTW: My logs are uploaded to LOTW on a regular basis and this is my preferred QSL method.
DIRECT: If you would like to send your QSL card direct, please ensure that you include a SAE and either $2US or 1 new IRC to cover postage.
If you don't include any of the above your card will be returned to you via the buro.
EQSL(AG): My logs are upoaded to EQSL on a regular basis.
BUREAU: I do not regularly send cards via the bureau, and only answer cards that I receive. Please be aware that it does take an extremely long time for bureau cards to arrive at my QTH and even longer to be dispatched as they are only done in bulk lots by mail.If you are not in a desperate hurry to receive my card then this method should be fine.
MOST IMPORTANT: If you worked VK7CW prior to March 2012, please do not send your card to me as I was not the holder of the callsign prior to this date and your card will not be answered by me.
ONLINE LOGBOOKS: My logs are uploaded regularly to CLUBLOG and HRDLog.net
