Biography

I do stained glass as a hobby and ham radio
My main hobby is Ham Radio to keep me inside and not out in a hot shop working in Texas heat waves.

I work 90% digital modes late at night due to it is more of a challenge.

if you send a QSL card to me being I am disabled and very low income please send a SASE for guaranteed return. if not then It depends if I have the stamps and money to return your card right away. IF you need the card please stick a note with it to say that you need a card for was or ANOTHER CONTEST or for whatever reason it is.
Please tell me and I will go the extra mile for you also.

Just do not expect over seas returns via anything but bureau unless stamps or something to pay postage is sent with card. I just can not afford to do it any more.
