My name is Robert and I have been a licensed ham since April of 1977.

Most of my friends call me 'RC' and my first love is QRP operations.

Second would be a tie between chasing DX (230 confirmed) and Contesting.

There is a very big thrill in making a contacts using the bare minimums

of a KEY, TRANSMITTER and ANTENNA

Even if it is just a dipole or vertical.

My current station is an Elecraft KX2.

Also I try to use and really support the DX CODE OF CONDUCT

It makes the hobby that much more enjoyable.
