I have been licensed since 1963, originally as WB2QGB, followed by KD2DS, and WO2Y since upgrading to Extra(20 wpm code test). I operate primarily 20 meters SSB/CW. Equipment includes a FT2000, Henry 3kx mk2, and a 5 element monobander. A recently constructed vertical, which together with my new tuner provides coverage of 10 through 160 meters, and allows me to finally work bands other than 20 meters! Majority of activity involves DX, although until recently I have never seriously pursued the DXCC award program. I try to regularly update LOTW, QRZ and EQSLwhich are great ways to confirm contacts! I have just started working the various digital modes working rtty and psk regularly.  I enjoy all types of radio contests, including CW, RTTY, and of course SSB.  I have Craig, WB2HJW, now WR2G, to thank for this fantastic hobby.

This is a picture of my 20 meter monobander on a US Tower.

I recently retired after almost 40 years in law enforcement! I am an avid distance runner(74 marathons),  snowboarder, and die hard golf addict!

73's,
