I've been a ham for about forty years now. Just recently I applied for and was granted my present vanity call. My former call was AD7ND, which I had since 2007. I am active in CW and digital modes, mostly RTTY and WSJT-X JT/FT8, from 160m through 6m bands. I enjoy contesting, mainly CW and RTTY; my handle is "Vic".

Another reason for playing CW and digital modes, besides enjoiyng them, is that, due to homeowner covenant restrictions in my neighborhood, I have to resort to less than optimal antennas. My primary antenna is still a 20m dipole in the attic.

I am somewhat active in VHF/UHF supporting the Thunderbird Radio Amateur Club (TBARC) net.  In addition to TBARC, I am also a member of the Arizona ScQRPions QRP Club, the AMSAT-NA and the ARRL.

I upload my logs to QRZ, LoTW and eQSL periodically and immediately after major contests. I accept and reply to QSLs sent directly to me or via Buro.
