| Biography I first obtained my General Class License in 1958 when I was in the 7th Grade. Later in life I obtained a PhD in Sociology which enabled me to secure a career as a Senior Technical Architect. Since I retired in 2007, I have continued my research into the connection between ideology and political theory.
I took the pictures below in the United States and Europe. You can see them by scrolling down. You can also find much more information on my website: https://barrywone.blog/
I do not respond to eQSLs or Email QSLs and I no longer accept QSLs via Bureau. It is too
expensive.
Direct QSLs are ok if you send a SAE plus 2 USD for postage. I cannot use coupons of any kind for postage. The USPS doesn't redeem them. For stations in the United States an SASE will be sufficient.
The easiest and least expensive way to confirm a QSO with me is through ARRL LoTW. All contacts including those made in contests are in LoTW. If you send a QSL by any other method, I will not receive it. Worked DXCCs: Equipment HF:
