Please note; I have no printed QSL cards! My county is wrong in 'The Details' here on QRZ. I am in Taylor county, not Pinellas, that was many years ago, and I can't fix it.
I send E-QSL cards only! If you want a very nice photo QSL card, please print one out on E-QSL, it cheaper then sending me a SASE. Each location has a different photo.
E-QSL for your QSL card.

Get a E-QSL FOR ANY STATE THAT I HAVE OPERATED FROM, and LoTW for credit toward coounties and WAS.
This is what E-qsl is all about.
I live in a condo and use a LNR END FED antenna on the porch.
I am an avid CW operator, and FISTS club member.# 2644, and belongs to the ARCI CLUB, #9500 and GORC # 252, PODX 070 club #896 and NE QRP club #202
I like to work CW mainly and occasionally some PSK. CW Sweepstakes and Field Day, are my favorite contests.
My Truck Shack is on the road. I'm operating HF Mobile now a days. Both CW and SSB, I'm a regular checkin on the Our Gang Net on 40 meters. 7.183.00. The truck radio is an IC 7100 DC to daylight! I run VHF as well as HF from it.
Check out a new Yahoo group for HF Mobile ops.
Its called HF Mobile Ham Radio Car & Truck.

I am an avid QRP'er. My favorite portable QRP rigs are the Elecraft KX3 & KX1-4 , the go anywhere-anytime rigs!
I also use an Icom 703 for CW and PSK.
I use these rigs for CW 99% of the time, and PSK the remaining 1%.
I do SSB more often now that I have a Mobile HF station in my truck,.
Half hour CW conversations are my specialty. I love to rag chew,and will work DX if I stumble upon it!
Other hobbies are photography and playing the clarinet,and lately riding a recumbent trike.
My finest QRP accomplishments are working VKOIR, and ZL8RI.

PS: Solar Cycle 24 is starting to fade, and I don't think I'll live long enough to see the peak of #25, but I love every minute of ham radio.
PPS: I live in 4 land now, no more 25 below zero for me, so wait for me to give you a QTH before you spin your beam to point it at me. :)
