Biography
Last updated 4-10-2026.
Please see my full bio on QRZ.com. I've not been very active for the past year or two, except for contesting, but I hope to change that. Haven't been a ham long (since March 2010), and even though I'm now an Extra I still have a lot to learn.
I definately need to be more active on the bands. And I'm a strong supporter of paper QSLs! They're timeless!
Worked DXCCs:
Equipment
Yaesu FT-2000D (Primary), Kenwood TS-440SAT (Secondary).I sold my Drake TR-4C with the MS-4, MN-4, and W-4, as I didn't have room anymore for it.
I use an Ameritron ALS-600 with an MFJ-989D tuner.
Also have a Globe Scout 680 and Hallicrafters S-40B that are 100% operational. My dad started out with a Globe Scout 680 and S-40B back in 1958 and I wanted to re-create his shack equipment since I'm continuing on with his callsign.
My mobile rig is a Yaesu FT-857D with a Yaesu ATAS-120A antenna, and my base antennas are a tribander and fan dipole.
