Name is "Wayne." I go by my middle name instead of Frank.

I was originally licensed in 1955 as KN4CDZ, later K4CDZ in Winston-Salem, NC. Mostly a CW operator with a special interest in DX (Honor Roll) and QRP. I can usually be found on the low end of whichever band is open to the world.

K4CDZ was traded in 1976 under "incentive licensing" for the present call of W4HG. I am in Rowan County (EM95) and my 10X is 9272.

I'm a life member or ARRL, a member of the Rowan Amateur Radio Society (Salisbury NC) and the Carolina DX Association (CDXA).

The present station is a Ten Tec Orion transceiver with Ten Tec Titan III and Kenwood TL-922 Amplifiers.

Antennas are a 3 element SteppIR with 30/40M dipole for 10 to 40 and G5RV for 80. For QRP I use a Elecraft K2 (#02335).

I still enjoy QSLing (no SASE required) and upload all logs to LOTW at least monthly.

73, Wayne~
