Biography

Located on the edge of the White Mountains National Forest, in Grafton County New Hampshire, Grid FN44bc. The QTH is on the side of MT Clough, about 1342 ft above sea level, overlooking the Connecticut River valley. In the process of retiring ​and easing back into the shack after a 3 years absence.

Running very basic at the moment, using an Icom IC706 for HF and an Icom IC2200H for 2 meter FM. The antenna is a G5RV, hung as an inverted "V". For 2 meters I have a diamond vertical antenna. I do employ a small random wire for SWL and broadcast band DX.

It has been most enjoyable easing myself back into the hobby!

Scanning HF usually in the afternoons, some mornings depending on my schedule. Interested in DX and special events, and always enjoy a nice rag-chew. The 2 meter and scanner are always on and in service. Listening for travelers, hikers, S.O.T.A. activations, or anyone who might need assistance in the area. Also looking to make new friends, and to re-connect with some old friends!

I also enjoy listening to and playing all forms of music. I own several guitars, and bluegrass string instruments...as well as an accordion, squeeze box button accordion, small keyboard, full set of blues harmonicas, and a violin.

Thanks for stopping by!
