Biography Info:

Hello,

Thanks for looking up my call.

If we have had a QSO, I will QSL 100% direct. Just send me one of your cards & I will send you one of mine. No SASE required. I am also an Authenticity Guaranteed member of eQSL, & will trade a card that way too. I think this is a fast and easy way to trade cards,but I still prefer getting one in the mail now and then. Same goes for DX contacts,send me a card & you get one back.

The amateur service is a lot of fun and a learning experience too. I have met some really nice people in person as well as on the bands. I have yet to talk to a person that I have not had a pleasant QSO with. One of my favorite parts of the service is being able to experiment with different things. I really like to build & try out antennas. Some work well and others not so well,but this is what makes it fun. My MFJ-259B analyzer helps me out a great deal too.

I am an active member of my local amateur radio club, Tidelands ARS, where I have been club secretary for two years,I am now club president & 2008 hamfest chairman.

The hamfest will be held on Saturday July 12, 2008 from 8am-2pm in Texas City,Texas at the Doyle Convention Center. Please visit our web site,"www.tidelands.org" for registration forms & more information about the 2008 hamfest.

I'm a member of the ARRL,ARES & RACES. I am a member of the GCECG,this is our emergency communications group for Galveston County,Texas. Since we live on the Gulf Coast here & have 6 months of hurricane season,We like to be prepared for that unfortunate event should it come. We are also prepared for other events requiring communications should the need arise. I am a VE Liaison here. My team & I look forward to helping those interested in the amateur service obtain their first ticket or upgrading others to a higher class license. We hold testing sessions every third Saturday @ 9:00am in Texas City.For more info go to the Tidelands site at "www.tidelands.org" Well,that's about it for my activities, for now. "Hi,Hi"

The rig here is a Kenwood TS570S (160-6 meters).I am usually running barefoot 100 watts through a homebrew ground mount vertical.I also use a HB dipole for 40 meters. I have my tower & beam,but still have to get it up in the air. The only thing left is deciding where to put it in the yard. I do have a Hazer tram that will be used on the tower. Beats climbing it! I have several Vhf/Uhf radios for the local repeaters also.

Well,that's about it for me.If you hear me out there give me a call,if I can hear it I will certainly try to return it.

"73" From Texas!

James,
