My nationality is Latvian along with all my family members. We speak Latvian at home and English is my "second" language. My parents and I arrived from Europe in 1950 in NYC. We moved to New Jersey in 1958 where I attended Grade School. While in High School, I was introduced to Amateur Radio and was first licensed in 1961 as WN2HDB. I have become an avid VHF'er both in New Jersey as KC2PX, and then later in Florida as KC4PX. Over the years I have held calls WA0PPR, WB2QYT, and KU4FH.

My current active calls are: KC4PX, C6APX and YL3PX. As for DXpeditions, I have activated K4T in the Dry Tortugas and plan on more, including Caribbean Islands for 6 Meter enthusiasts.

Duringt the past 8 years I have not been active due to work and health issues. In 2015 I was fortunate to go thru a Nuclear Stress Test which then led to a triple by-pass. I have recovered well. I am currently rebuilding the station and hope to be back into contesting in 2017. The Shack Picture is from 2008 during my active VHF Contest Period. I was fortunate to work Spratly Island on 6 meter EME (one of 3 stations) and from Florida, 4th Place Overall, Single Op, High Power 2008 ARRL June VHF OSO Party.

My main activity is 6 meters, the "Magic Band". I'm QRV 90% of the time on 50.125Mhz. Each February (week 6) I am QRV in Nassau using my C6APX Call. In addition to 6 meters, I also am active on 75, 40, and 20 Meters.

I am also very active in all ARRL and CQ VHF Contests. I QSL 100%, however, I request that all QSL cards have an SASE included. I hate to write addresses. 73
