Been licensed since 1998, so not exactly an old timer.  But I did work my way through all the license classes...Novice, Tech, Tech Plus, General, Advanced and Extra.  Also did CW at 5, 13 and 20 wpm...that was fun!  Started off doing just emergency comm work with one of my local radio clubs, then slowly got interested in DXing.

After a few years of being off the air I finally got a brand new station up and running here in Mililani, Hawaii on the island of Oahu.  My new rig is a Yaesu FT-991a.  It's the first HF rig I've purchased new and so far I love it.  Antenna configuration is very limited here due to current town association rules.  Initially I just had two 20m dipoles on my roof, about 20 feet in height, and oriented in two separate directions...NW-SE and NE-SW.  Just recently I added the Buddipole which works very well on all the bands 70cm through 40m.  The digital modes are up and runnng again and I'm concentrating on PSK31 and RTTY but also started using JT65 too, so look for me on the lower part of each band.  If I get adventurous, I may pull out my key and do some CW.  If you're looking for me locally then call on 146.620 (PL103.5) or 146.860 (PL103.5) .

I will answer all QSLs via BURO but prefer QSLs via DIRECT.  SASE is not necessary but appreciated.  And I decided to relent and register with LOTW.  So I'll start uploading logs to LOTW real soon.  But I still enjoy getting a QSL card in the mail, so please snail-mail to me...I will reply in-ki
