Several thousand contacts pre-1991 are not yet in my electronic log. I have been uploading them to LOTW as they are entered into my logging program.

Note: IRC'S are no longer accepted in exchange for postage by the US Post Office. 

About the main image: Photo was taken in 08/1997 by a local ham who is also a pilot. He was looking for a place to hunt, and spotted my tower.

Station information:

Rig: IC-765

Amplifier: TL-922A

Antennas:

- TH11DXX fixed NE @ 66' (temporary location)

- 10m: 5ele yagi @ 110', vertical dipole side mounted on tower @ 75'

- 15m: 6ele KLM monobander @ 100'

- 20m: Single element @ 80' (originally part of 6ele KLM monobander that succumbed to ice and wind).
