Biography

If you happen to visit Brandon, VT look for my allstar node # 42282 (146.475 w/173.8pl). Open to all licensed amateur's. I was the first one in my state to have an allstar node operational. Always looking for other nodes to link up fulltime with, that don't mind other technologies on the system.

NO EQSL or LOTW I Need A Physical QSL Card Please*

You Send Me a Card & You Will Get a Card

I prefer an actual physical QSL card, a QSL is expected from the QSO following amateur tradition. As of 8/7/2013 I will only QSL to QSL cards received, you send me a card & I will send you one, SASE's are not required but appreciated due to the volume of stations that need VT. Am I the only VT station active on the air :)

If you look at my QRZ logbook you might notice either ** or * by your name

* = I sent your QSL

** = I neither sent nor received your QSL (per my QSL rules)

3905CC, Geratol or OMISS contacts QSL via respective QSL buro please, good in all 3. NATA QSO's QSL direct, If you initiated contact (or are a direct QSL who iniated contact) or called me during the net, you will not receive my qsl until I get yours, this is the norm; if you only LOTW or EQSL I still need your QSL card please
