I've been a Ham for a little while. Since 1975 but built my first crystal radio
as a little kid of age 9. Earned my W.A.S. as a Novice in 1975-1976. Earned my
W.A.T. that first night I got on the air. W.A.T. = worked all televisions :(.
Got serious about chasing DX in 2006. My DXCC came in the mail as of April
2008! Right now I have 106 mixed. Hurray! Now I want to do a QRP Worked All
States. Waiting patiently for Cycle 24 to begin. Come-on come-on come-on!
Don't forget to check out my web site: http://www.kd5om.com
Home QTH is Yaesu FT-2000, Ameritron AL-811H (when needed, I'm a QRPer at
heart). Antennas are Force-12 C3SS on a MA-40 Crankup/tiltover 40' tower. 40
meter wire inverted vee. A piece of crap MFJ vertical on 40, 20, 15, & 10.
2m/440 vertical by Diamond for local repeaters, etc.. Wanting to experiment
with anything to get on 80/75m and be an efficient antenna. Not a lot of real
estate for low band antennas and be efficient. Too much local QRN/QRM for 160m.
Too many Plasma TVs in my neighbothood (and my house) so I operate late at
night or early in the mornings. DO NOT PUT A PLASMA TV IN YOUR HOUSE! Or just
kiss Ham Radio good bye! And we were so afraid of BPL?!
Camping QTH is Yaesu FT-897D and the Buddipole. I also have K1, KX1, Small
Wonder Labs QRP radios, various wire antennas to launch into trees. No Plasma
TVs nearby at the campsites!
I just got the itching to do some RTTY and/or PSK31. Must be all the DX I see
on RTTY! So, RYRYRYRYRYRY ya'll.
See ya'll in the pileups! GUD DX!
