Rigs FT1000 & IC-746Pro. Amps QRO HF-2500DX & Command VHF-1200. HF and MF contacts have been made with two simple center-fed dipoles. Starting Jan 2011, for 160M I've been using an inverted L up 70 feet and 65 feet horizontal with 32 radials. For six meters I use a 5 element beam at 60 feet.

My preferred method of QSL is LoTW, but I do send and answer QSL card requests. If anyone needs my card, I will gladly QSL promptly to all cards received with an SASE or SAE with sufficient funds. (1 IRC or 1 US Dollar for DX stations) That's the method I use when requesting cards, which has resulted in better than 90% returns. I'm good by the bureau, but as you may be aware, this can be a slow process. I also upload to eQSL, (AG Status) but don't participate in the program.

Good DX & see you in the pile ups.
