I was first licensed in 1949 as Advanced class. In 1952 I moved to Nevada and got the call of W7TVF which I still have. I have been an active DX Chaser ever since. For several years in the 1950's I was the only active DXer in Nevada. Iam the first if not the only Ham in Nevada ever to have worked all of the countries on CW and SSB (from) Nevada and gotten the #1HR. i operated two times from Niue Island as ZK2VFand 2 times from Western Samoa as 5W0VF.My station consists of a TenTec OMNI VI+ Xcvr with an Alpha 91b Amplifier. I have a 9 element Force 12 C4XL antenna on an 80 ft. motorized tower. I have a 5 Element phased and switchable array on160 meters with 48,000 feet of radials. 160 Meters is my favorite band and I haveabout 223 + or - a couple of countries confirmed. I am glad to schedule QSO's on most all of the modes if you need a Nevada confirmation. Special made QSL Cards, like the one at the top of the page are used. PLEASE ENCLOSE AN SAE AND SUFFICIENT RETURN POSTAGE AS I DO NOT USE THE W7-BUREAU.  I AM ON LOTW FOR THOSE WHO CHOOSE THAT METHOD OF QSLING.  BE SURE TO TELL ME THAT THAT YOU WANT A CONFIRMATION ON LOTW AND I WILL TAKE CARE OF IT FOR YOU.  THIS IS MY 63 YEAR AS AN ACTIVE HAM AND I HAVE ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE OF IT.
