Hello from Tennessee and thanks for dropping by.

UPDATE:
If you worked me in July 2024 I am behind on getting qsl cards out but I am working on it as fast as I can, I am up to AUG 3, 2024 as of right now, be aware I am doing the USA cards first and then I will go back and start the DX cards, I DO NOT mail out QSL Cards on Friday or Saturday as I dont want them sitting somewhere in the mail getting damaged, I am sorry for getting behind and I hope after I get caught up so I can stay that way

I am active on V/UHF Dstar most of my activity will be on  the following reflectors so if you hear me on feel free to hit me up.  I am also active on HF SSB, FT4, FT8 and soon CW.

In days of old, when ops were bold and sideband not invented,
the words were passed by pounding brass and all were quite contented!

Long live CW.  Anyone can talk on a microphone.  Heck, I did it for a living!   But it takes a few smarts to work CW.  So, put down the mic and grab the key (bug, paddles, whatever you have) and make a CW QSO today.

Remember......

CW Operators Do It By Hand !
