Biography

K1HTV has been continuously active in Ham Radio since 1958. Retired after 48 years in broadcasting, the last 28 at the Voice of America in Washington, DC.

I love chasing DX with my Elecraft K3 and have worked all DXCC entities except No. Korea (362/339) with 100 Watts. Have 10 band DXCC with low power including over 300 confirmed on all bands between 40 Meters and 10 Meters. The 6 Meter DXCC total stands at 164 countries confirmed.
