CQ de K9OM-

Licensed at age 14. and ham radio has been my favorite hobby ever since!  CW is my favorite mode but I enjoy operating a wide variety of DX and Stateside Contests and QSO Parties.

During contests, hams are often confused because I operate from 3 different QTH's: 1) Edgewater, Florida.  2) Bloomington, IL.  3) Marinette, Wisconsin.  (rather confusing as the FCC database lists me as "Edgewater, Florida")

I enjoy QSL'ing via LOTW and E-QSL as it's a big time saver.   

Besides contesting, another facet of ham radio that I really enjoy is constructing new antennas and then running A/B comparisons between them.  

 If we've worked on-the-air. Thank You for the QSO!  

73,

P.S.  My greatest QSO ever was back in January of 1975 when I called upon the Lord and put my trust in Jesus Christ as my Savior and Lord.  "For whosoever shall call upon the Lord shall be saved".  Romans 10:13.  Since then my life has been happier and more meaningful then ever.
