A little bit about myself...

    I live in the southeast corner of Tennessee in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains.   I am self employed with a home based business.  Age is 30 and I've been a licensed 'ham' since I was 12.  My XYL has her Tech + license and encourages my enjoyment in ham radio!  (Am I lucky or what?)  My station is still under construction since I recently moved.   My tower is up and antennas are appearing in the skyline.   I now have a tri-band 2 element quad at 68 feet and a 7 element 6 meter yagi at 50 feet.    (I never really finish antenna construction.  There is always something that needs changing / improving.)  I also have an inverted-L  with elevated radials for 160 meters.   This antenna sure plays well for how simple it is.  80 meters... a plain old dipole at 70 feet seems to work well.   40 meters was enjoyed with a 2 element yagi at 70 feet at the previous QTH but so far I have a dipole up about 30 feet.  That one definitely needs to be changed.  Several beverages will be run through the woods for low band reception.  Inside the shack is nothing glorious either.  An Icom 756 is the main attraction.  CW is the preferred mode.  Contesting and DXing account for most of my contacts.  Always pursuing QSL cards and wallpaper.

     Other hobbies of interest include guns, computers, RC planes, rappelling and just enjoying the great outdoors in general.

    How about a list of on-the-air Trader Nets!   They are a great place to sell/buy used ham gear.    Feel free to e-mail me with any corrections or additions.
