I was originally licensed in 1982 with the Novice Call Sign KA6YGT. I upgraded to General in 1983 and my call changed to N6IKX. I was inactive for 27 years while I was in the Navy, but I kept my License current. After retirement from the Navy, and after much toe dragging, I finally changed my call to reflect my actual district. I live in Hawaii, on the island of Oahu, so I changed to a Vanity Call Sign, KH6TDM, to reflect my initials. I use LOTW, and will return all QSL's sent to me. U.S. contacts just send via 1st class mail. NO SASE required
