I enjoy DXing and Contesting, and hope to work you soon!

I am a past President of the Southern California Contest Club as well as past editor of the SCCC news letter "SCCCORE".

10X member #10734.

In 1977, I piloted K6SE to 3rd place in the CQP contest. Using my own call, I took #5 in 1982. #4 in 1983. In the fall of 2010, N6TR sent me my CQP certificate for 1986. This is not a typo! Hi! Tree found my cert stuck to the back of one of his, and sent it along to me 14 years later! Thanks Tree!

In 1982, I was part of the W6SX multiop effort during Field Day at Edwards AFB. Super antennas and radios at our disposal. Good times!

Operated CQWW CW Multi Multi at XE2SI field day style from a small hilltop in Tijuana with some of the best ops in Southern California in the mid 1980s. In fact, one of the highlights of my ham radio career was operating next to N6TR, N6ZZ, WA6OTU, N6VI and others there.

Operated and captained the NE6I CQ WPX CW MS effort in 1987. We operated from the K6GXO super station that year.

I also have a couple of Top Ten finishes in the NCJ Sprint CW contests, where the cream of the crop of Contesters graze.

I QSL via LOTW, direct and via the Bureau. I am just getting started on eQSL (bear with me there). Sorry, I'm not a member here on QRZ.com for QSLs, so QSLs here go unconfirmed.

I am now HOA challenged so the signal is not as loud as it once was. All antennas are now 10 feet high or less. Consider that the next time you work me! Effort is still high though and I *will* work you if you can hear me. And best of all, I am still adding new ones and having a ball doing it!
