Orginally licensed in 1972, I became an Extra just before the code requirement was phased out. Now, almost half of my contacts are CW. Also do a good amount of Digital operation in PSK31, RTTY and JT65-HF as well as WSJT-X. Mine is a "little pistol" operation primarily running 100w to G5RVs and Vertical antennas. In February 2012,finished 80m DXCC which closes out 5 Band DXCC for me. Currently, I have 289 countries confirmed.

In addition to the radio activities, I'm the "W" sorter for the W4/K4/N4 QSL bureau.
