W5GT David C. 'Dave' Routzon North Richland Hills, TX QCWA # 21648

Originally licensed in 1955 as WN3BEW, I've held W3BEW, W2FGT and now W5GT. I run an ICOM 756 Pro II with an older Dentron linear. My antennas are an A4S with 40 meter add-on kit at 45 feet, slopers on 80 and 40 and a G5RV. I'm currently working on 5BDXCC (24 to go on 80) and looking for my final zone on 10 (22). Currently getting my feet wet on LEO satellites...particularly the SSB Birds. I'm in EM12 and am running an FT-817/FT-897 combination. The satellite antennas are a 10 element Diamond for 440 and a 4 element G0KSC for 145.

I'm former President of our local ham club, North Richland Hills Amateur Radio Club (www.k5nrh.org). That's me at our club's 2008 Field Day. Hope to see you in the pileups!
