Happy 2012!! I hope to work you during Straight Key Night using my vintage station in the pic above. The Xmtr is a homebrew 6AG7/6L6 from the 1954 ARRL Handbook keyed with an old J37, and the Rcvr is the Hallicrafters S38B. When I'm not using the old tube gear, my other interests are DXing and Contesting on the HF bands, mainly CW.

I also enjoy hunting for RDA ( http://www.rdaward.org ), WFF ( http://www.wff44.org ), and IOTA ( http://www.rsgbiota.org ). I participate in the CQWW and ARRL DX contests from the Western Pennsylvania Multi/Multi station of Tim, K3LR, primarily on the 10 meter station.

Logs are still open for NP3/N3GJ which was active from May 15th to May 19th, 2004 from San Juan, Puerto Rico (NA-099). QSL via N3GJ at the above address, via the bureau, or via LoTW. If you sent for a card and have not received it, please email me and I will get you a card.
