I earned my General ticket in May 2020 and received my callsign in June. I have been in love ever since. Working in the technology field this was right up my alley and presented a new set of challenges. I enjoy making contacts of all kinds but I especially enjoy the DX contacts. I am still exploring all the different modes and working on awards in the meantime. I look forward to learning more and finding new challenges. I hope to see you on the air.
My current station setup is as follows:
- Yaesu FT-450D
- LDG YT-1200 Autotuner
- TekPower TP30SWII
- 53 Ft. End Fed Sloping Antenna with 9:1 UNUN
- QYT-8900D 2m/70cm with J-Pole
- Ham Radio Deluxe
- WSJT-X
I also have a G5RV Jr. but I mostly stick to my end fed antenna.
QSO’s are uploaded automatically to QRZ.com and HRDLog.net and I upload to LOTW every day.
I automatically send QSL via eQSL.cc but I prefer the real thing. All QSL cards received will be replied to 100%, no need for SASE. I typically lookup my contacts on QRZ to see if they send or prefer paper QSL and if they do I will send them. I am currently working down the list. Rest assured if I receive a QSL card from you, you will get one back no matter where you live and I will send direct. If you are not on QRZ.com and wish to receive a QSL card from me, just drop me an email or send a QSL card and I will reply.
Future challenges\projects for me include running off battery and solar power before the next field day.
73,
Shawn
