GENERAL QSL INFO: Please QSL direct w/SASE; $1 required for DX requests. QSLs received with SASEs are generally answered the day they are received. I upload all logs to LoTW and eQSL, usually very soon after the QSO, or at the end of a contest. Please e-mail me if you expected a LoTW or eQSL match but didn't get one.
NV4B/5 - I operated 2011 ARRL June VHF QSO Party as NV4B/5, single-op QRP portable from Woodall Mountain, the highest point in Mississippi, in EM54vs, Tishomingo County. The NV4B/5 log has been uploaded to LoTW and eQSL. Paper QSLs are available but they will be "generic" cards -- still good if you need EM54, Mississippi, or Tish. County!
About Me
First licensed June 17, 1996 as KF4KLG at age 13; received Advanced class callsign KT4XA in October 1996, and upgraded to Extra in June 1997. Current callsign "bought" in September 2000.
Employed as a software engineer writing primarily DSP-controller interface software for VoIP hardware; also a part-time staff engineer for two broadcast radio stations
On-Air Activities
QRV all modes 160m-6m, 2m, 70cm, and 222 MHz FM
Casual contester, even more casual DX'er
Primary station equipment: Yaesu FT-847, Solarcon A99 vertical on 50' tower, G5RV at 30' (which would explain the "casual" qualifier above)
Homebrewing/QRP -- I usually operate a Yaesu FT-817 when I operate QRP, but I do have a few homebrew radios I operate on rare occasion.
Awards
DXCC - mixed #42,486

160m WAS #1,180 w/CW endorsement (earned by loading up the G5RV as a "T" against two quarter-wave ground radials -- never let the lack of an antenna keep you off 160m!)
Triple Play WAS #538
Working on 5BDXCC -- 32 to go on 80m & 2 to go on 40
