Biography Info:

Ex WN3ZSP and KG4VZE

I like paper QSL cards but the USPS is too expensive now. For US QSO's, I will QSL via LOTW and eQSL. If you need a paper QSL, I will be glad to send you one, just let me know.

DX'ers, if you are not going to return a QSL card, please say so during QSO. It is getting very expensive to send IRC's and get no response. If I send IRCs to DX station, please do not reply via bureau, I am too old to wait on them (hi hi), TU. All my QSOs are loaded onto LotW weekly.

I joined the Army in 1966 and served in Viet Nam from 12/68 - 01/70. I retired from the Army in 1986 and found that I had to work for a living. I retired again, this time as a computer network administrator at Ft. Knox in 2007.

I was an Adult Scouter from 1984 to 1996 in Panama, Florida, and Utah and received the Silver Beaver in 1995. Owl Woodbadge patrol rocks!

Working with the kids wore me out so I joined a volunteer fire department to relax. I am the Department Safety Officer for the Rineyville Fire Department. I am a certified Kentucky Fire Service Instructor and an EMT-First Responder.

I am active in Freemasonry and am currently the Master of Meeting Creek Lodge and Past Master of Big Spring #826 F&AM (KY) as well as Past Master Rocky Mountain #11 (AF&AM) (UT). I am the Worthy Patron of the Vine Grove OES chapter and a Past Patron in Utah and Kentucky.

I got my DXCC, WAC, WAS, etc but I am a perpetual rookie in the ham area and my current projects are to get better with CW so I can work DX and QRP. I would like to find 10 10-10s on 10 (anyone from Alaska or Hawaii or any 10-10 members that will help me please email me and we can set up a sked around your schedule).

ARRL VE FISTS #9919 CC #1443 OMISS #4734 EPC #1559 and 070 Club #514 QWCA #32014 OOTC #4470 SKCC #4328.

Of all the firefighters in the United States, 70% of us are volunteers. Please support your local volunteer fire department
