Hello,

Thanks for the QSL lookup. I have been a ham since the early 90's with my first call KC5JGO. Just recently I put in for a vanity call (K5WWT) which I use today. My QTH is 25 miles southwest of Downtown Austin, Texas. I live on 150 acres in the Texas Hill Country where we raise meat goats and a few cattle on the ranch. The ranch has been in the family since 1869.

My first love in this hobby is to go portable on the ranch. Any operation that gets me in the field is what I like. As you can see in the picture I now have a wheelchair mobile station up and going. I also like to run QRP SSB with a wire in a tree and see what we can do with least amount of power and equipment.

My setup- Base Icom IC706 with off center feed Windom Wire at 25ft(Flat Top) Moblie/Portable- Yaesu FT 817/ hamstick / LDG Z100 tuner.

Most days you can find me on HFPACK freq 18.157.50 Khz

73's
