Biography

I am an Ohio native and joined the Marine Corps in 1989.

After twenty years of service I retired in 2008 and moved back to Ohio. My callsign is a reference to my rank, I retired as a Master Sergeant, called "Top" in the Marine Corps.

I earned my Technician license in Feb, 2019. I upgaded to General a month later. I'm still working on Extra.

I have one Radio, an ICOM-718, putting out 100 watts.

My Antenna is an 80/40/20/10m FAN dipole at 40ft.

I would appreciate a QSL in QRZ.com, LOTW, and direct cards in the mail and I am also in the 3905 CCN burro. You need not send a SASE, if you send a card I will send one back. DX stations should expect a card, SASE and green stamps.
