Greetings from south Louisiana

    I have been a ham since 1979, first licensed as KA5DMK. In March 2015, I  returned to amateur radio after 25 years away. Having fun learning the digital modes - D-Star, Echolink, SDR, Hamsphere 4.0 and more.

    Since June 2016, I have been addicted to PSK-31 and JT65. I've been working stations more than 9,000 miles away with 20 watts and a wire!

My station includes:

• Icom IC-7300, since Christmas 2016 (Still learning, but a magnificent radio; previous rig IC-718)
• Antron 99 vertical at 30 feet (Bought at hamfest for $50 and have worked dozens of countries on 10, 12 and 15 meters)
• Radiowavz double bazooka dipoles for 40 and 20 meters
• Baofeng UV82DX Dual Band FM Transceiver
• NWDR ThumbDV D-Star dongle on Winbook 700 tablet (D-Star handheld for $100!)
• TYT MD-380 with SharkRF OpenSpot for DMR (Talkgroups 3100 USA, 3122 Louisiana)
• Uniden Home Patrol-1 digital scanner, Radio Shack Pro 2036 scanner, Yaesu FRG-7

Hope to meet you on the bands. Geaux Tigers!
