Biography

Thanks for the lookup!

I've been licensed continuously since 1971:

1971 - 1973 -- WN4WBQ

1973 - 1982 -- WB4WBQ

1982 - Present -- WF4B

While stationed in Germany with the US Army from 1975-1978 I was DA2AI.

I use a Elecraft K3 or a vintage Kenwood TS-850S (original owner) and no more than 100 watts into a random wire carefully concealed to comply with property deed restrictions and can usually be found on the CW section of the bands. I'm a Life Member of the ARRL, member of 10-10 International (#9153) and SKCC (#6398T).

All contacts are uploaded to LoTW. QSL cards, including SWL cards, are always welcome. An SASE, IRC, etc., is not necessary for a reply. I promptly respond to all direct or bureau QSL's.
