Biography

Greeting from the north east corner of Texas. Winnsboro is surrounded by 13 lakes and centered between Dallas and Texarkana in the Big Woods area of Texas.

I am a little late to the game, licensed General in June 2012. I have been interested in electronics for most of my adult life, but for no good reason, postponed getting into Ham Radio until in my 50's. As a professional, I own a retail computer network sales/service/consulting firm. I have spent the last 20 years as a software developer and a network security consultant. But Hams are the original geeks!

Equipment

If you contacted me on HF, most likely I was using my home rig which is a Kenwood TS-590A or Icom IC-746 connected to a MFJ 2012 OFC Multiband dipole mounted as an inverted "V" at 40 feet. I will generally run 100 watts on SSB and 20 watts digital. Sometimes I am on my Yaesu FT-897D or FT-817ND if away from home. I use a Signalink USB interface on an Apple iMac at home when operating digital. I use FlRig/FlDigi on the Mac and HRD when running Windows.

QSL on QRZ, LotW, or on eQSL. I also accept direct mail.

If we had a contact over the airwaves, thanks, and hope to catch you again. If not, then maybe we will connect in the future...
