Currently getting LOTW setup and running Enjoy chasing DX and casual Qso’s via cw on any frequency.
Currently going through a Vibroplex bug phase and my straight keys are quickly becoming dust collectors. This obsession has been going on for well over a year now, collecting, using them for contesting, ragchewing and dx. Often find it necessary to view photographs of bug keys on my phone while at work just to make it through the workday.

If you heard me near the Qrp calling frequencies, most likely I was using a home-brew transmitter of my own design. These transmitters are subject to a never ending construction process and development.I refer to these transmitters as “pig rigs”

Second Class Operators Club, For us ham’s that don’t exactly measure up to the “first class” folks.
We have a online support group & forum. During a long cw Qso on 20 mtrs, it was suggested I should join the SOC, often ramble on at the key about many random topics of conversation, which may or may not make sense to anyone but me.
Fly Fishing fresh and saltwater is my other hobby (obsession) . Whether here in Alaska, or the tropics …
