Live in Vancouver,Washington. My wife and i love to travel and are both ham operators. She is KD7VNZ. Other interests are classical music, history and the piano/violin/cello. Japanese shakuhachi,language and Wabi Sabi.Collect and use fountain pens,Omas and other Italian pens in particular. Dress vintage 1920's-40's. Favourite bands are:all of them!!! Especially 20m,17m ssb and psk31.

QRP is my main attraction.Radio is a Kenwood TS-2000,Icom IC-735 and GR5V jr dipole,half of which is inside my apartment. Am heard sometimes on 6m,2m and 70cm ssb and cw QRP.

I enjoy all the HF bands minus 160m(only due to antenna constraints) and hope to find a better way of getting a QRP signal out.

I'm a  VE and hold an Extra class license. Been licensed since early 1985.

Am also a member of the Clark County Amateur Radio Club and Clark County ARES as well as the Pacific NW VHF Society.
