73's From W3OPA, Nazareth, Pa. U.S.A.

I answer all QSL requests, no SASE needed. I also answer SWL's. Address your direct cards to my QSL Manager by writing "C/O NL7XM / DLARC" in the heading, which is preferable and quick, (or via the buro.) I DO NOT eQSL.

I like to work CW but can be found working phone from time to time. I mostly like to work QRP. I was originally licensed in 1998 as KB3DEA (later W3DEA). I went thru all the license classes, Tech, Tech +, General, Advanced and Extra. I am VE accreditted. My electronics background stems from being a radio tech in the U.S.M.C. and as a small kid I enjoyed short wave listening.

I belong to and am an officer of The Delaware Lehigh Amateur Radio Club (www.dlarc.org). The club station is just about all modes on all bands. The DLARC sponsors the WX3MAS Christmas City special event station each December. When in the Allentown / Bethlehem Pennsylvania area the repeater is 146.700 pl 151.4.

Other hobbies are reading, carving, playing chess, fly-fishing and friends. I love my family and try to go to church when I can. If you look at my web page, please, sign the guest book.

I hope to catch you on the air 599!
