Please send all email to me via K0DXC@yahoo.com

For more information on me you can visit http://K0DXC.9f.com or http://www.youngham.net/k0dxc/ ... Thank you. I would also like to give a very big thank you to Eogan, MI6TUX for putting together and hosting http://www.youngham.net/k0dxc/ . http://www.youngham.net/k0dxc/ is basically the same website as K0DXC.9f.com except youngham doesn't have all the pop ups that K0DXC.9f.com has. I built K0DXC.9f.com all on my own and then when Eoghan, MI6TUX saw my website he offered to host it via youngham.net so that visitors could enjoy the site with out all the pop-ups and banners.

Please DO NOT send me QSL cards for NU1AW/0!!! Send them to the NU1AW address on QRZ.com. Thank you!

I have moved to Jackson, OH as of the middle of August. I have moved into a beautiful house on 1.5 acres of land. I will update my address with the FCC as soon as possible

SEND QSL'S TO K9MMS (DIRECT) OR QSL TO ME (K0DXC) VIA THE BUREAU, LOTW, OR EQSL! THANK YOU!

The picture above is of me (Left, actually operating the station) and my grandpa K9MMS (right) operating field day with the Twin Cities FM Club (W0EF). You can also see WA2MNO in the background. It saddens me that Bob, WA2MNO passed away as of September 2008. I had the honor of meeting Bob at field day this year; he was a very nice person and a great ham! I miss him deeply.

On 6/23/2008 I worked N0EK, Ed, in North Dakota. That was the last state I needed for my CW only W.A.S. (Worked All States) award! Now the only thing left to do is get a few QSL cards from hams in various states and send in for the award!

I am Cal, K0DXC; a 14 year old ham residing in Jackson, Ohio. I was licensed in June of 2005 with the callsign KC0USZ and I have been a ham for about 4 years now. My grandpa, K9MMS, is the one who inspired me to get my ticket. For another take on my biography please visit http://k0dxc.9f.com/about.html .

I am the 2008 W0 Young Ham of the Year. Thank you everyone for all the support.

I was interviewed by 5 Eyewitness news in June of 2008. A photojournalist (John Gross) sent me an email with a phone number to call. When I did he told me that he would like to bring a camera crew out to my house to interview me and make a promotional video for Amateur Radio. In addition to airing on TV a few times it is viewable on the web at http://kstp.com/article/stories/S519423.shtml

I greatly prefer CW over any other mode and you can normally find me hanging out around the low ends of most bands. I am a QRQ enthusiast and you will find me going at speeds ranging from 5 to 40 words per minute. However, if you ask I will ALWAYS slow down, don't be afraid to call me if you find me on the bands. I am also a member of the U.S.A. HST (High Speed Telegraphy) team.

Unfortunately, I am only a General class licensee so I can not transmit in the bottom 25 KHz of most bands, but I hope to get my extra this summer.

I am a proud member of the ARRL, FISTS, SKCC, NAQCC, S.M.A.R.T.S (WB0RMK), ARES, MWA (Minnesota Wireless Association), YACHT (Young Amateur Contest Ham Team), WWYC (World Wide Young Contesters), JCARC (Jackson County Amateur Radio Club), and the Waconia Amateur Radio Club (KC0VIS). I am the ARRL - MN Youth Assistant Section Manager.

I enjoy writing articles for ham radio publications. So far I have been published in the FISTS Magazine "The Keynote" in issue 3, 2008. I have an article in the Jul/Aug 2008 issue of NCJ (viewable at http://www.arrl.org/ncj/2008/07/Darula.pdf ), I wrote an article that is in the "Teens in CW" section of John, K3WWP's website ( http://home.alltel.net/johnshan/cw_ss_k0dxc.html ), and I have written a few for eham on contesting ( http://www.eham.net/articles/18941 ). I have published some of my articles on my website as well at http://k0dxc.9f.com/cgi-bin/blog .

Operating- Rigs consist of an IC-706MKIIG and a TS-430S. Antenna is a 6BTV vertical at 25 feet, Alpha Delta DX/B 160/80/40/30 meter sloper at 35 feet, KB6KQ 6-meter loop, and a 2 meter groundplane. I greatly enjoy contesting and you will find me in most of them. I generally use the name "Kid" so don't be worry if I don't send Cal. DXing is another great part of this hobby, I have worked 95 DX entities with 90 of them on CW at last count.

I had the privelidge of operating with the callsign NU1AW/0 on 20 meter SSB for the IARU HF Championships July of 2008. I made over 1,000 QSO's on Saturday with NU1AW/0. Thanks for the QSO(s)! Please visit my website or http://www.isd.net/msp02935/iaru.htm for pictures.

VY 73,

Cal "Kid", K0DXC
