I've been a Ham for a little while. Since 1975 but built my first crystal radio as a little kid of age 9 back in 1961. Earned my W.A.S. as a Novice in 1975-1976. Earned my W.A.T. that first night I got on the air. W.A.T. = worked all televisions :(. Got serious about chasing DX in 2006. My DXCC came in the mail as of April 2008! Right now I have 114 mixed. Hurray! Now I want to do a QRP Worked All States. Waiting patiently for Cycle 24 to begin. Come-on come-on come-on! Dang!! Is cycle 24 ever gonna begin?

Don't forget to check out my web sites: http://www.kd5om.com and http://www.radiohams.org .

Home QTH is Yaesu FT-2000, Yaesu FL-2100 amp., FT-77 for the fun of it. Antennas are Force-12 C3SS on a MA-40 Crankup/tiltover 40' tower. OCF Dipole for 80 through 10. A MFJ vertical on 40, 20, 15, & 10. 2m/440 vertical by Diamond for local repeaters, etc

Too many Plasma TVs in my neighbothood (and my house) so I operate late at night or early in the mornings. DO NOT PUT A PLASMA TV IN YOUR HOUSE! Or just kiss Ham Radio good bye! And we were so afraid of BPL?!

I just got the itching to do some RTTY and/or PSK31. Must be all the DX I see on RTTY! So, RYRYRYRYRYRY ya'll.

See ya'll in the pileups! GUD DX!
