"K9UW"
is my official call sign on the Amateur Radio bands. As an Amateur (HAM) Radio
operator, I routinely communicate with people worldwide and have logged message exchanges
with citizens in over 200 countries. My station is located 3 miles ESE of Amherst,
Wisconsin on the banks of the Tomorrow River and I am very proud of my antenna farm. This photo shows my KLM-34A triband
yagi at 56 feet. Other antennas include a 160 meter inverted vee (80 feet at center
and 30 feet on the ends), a CTSVR vertical for 160, 80, 40 and 17 meters, and an 11
element yagi for 2 meter FM at 65 feet.

I am mostly a CW operator and a happy member of the TenTec family. Their Omni VI+ has graced my station since October 1997. I'm not very good at CW, but I enjoy it just the same, and this radio enables me to hear and work stations that my previous rig missed. While TenTec is best known for producing great CW rigs, the Omni VI+ produces exceptionally clean SSB audio |

Here's
the correct time for you Hams out there who need to set your PC clocks! |
Drop me a line or listen for my 100 watts at 0200Z most Friday nights/Saturday mornings on 160 meter SSB in QSO with N8BQV on or about 1.900 MHz, +/- 20 KHz for QRM. After all, 160 is "The Gentleman's Band".
