WE are sort of a "Ham" family. My Dad, W4JD (silent key) was first licensed in 1921. My son, KB3NFD was licensed in 2006. My son-in-law, KU4XP is also a Ham. I also have 2 nephews who have their Amateur Licenses, AI4QU and KI4OVS.
I am a lifetime member of the ARRL. I am an ARRL Volunteer Instructor and have a VE Certification through the ARRL & the W5YI VEC programs.
DX is my thing in ham radio. I am currently on the DXCC Honor Roll having worked and confirmed 329 out of 337 countries and hope one day to get them all. CW is my favorite mode and I like to use RTTY and BPSK in contests. You can visit the ARRL at:
