Biography

Picture while in Canary Islands on vacation wearing brown shirt. Originally from Texas moved to Lafayette, Louisiana after retiring from Entergy Corps. An electrical utility company. Served in USAF for 4 years,Vietnam veteran. Got into Ham radio 1983 mostly uhf, vhf. Now retired and trying to get more active on HF and improving CW skills which were previously poor.

Worked DXCCs:

Equipment

YEASU FT991A and Ameritron ALS1300 AMP. Cob Web 10-20 meter antenna. End Fed Zepp antenna claims 10-80 meters. Live in a HOA that has antenna restrictions so I have to keep it to a minimum visibility. Working on CW skills and use FT8 some.

DX Code Of Conduct

I support the "DX Code Of Conduct" to help to work with each other and not each against the others on the bands.
