I was first licensed as a Novice in 1967. The DXing bug bit early. I now have 357 DXCC entities confirmed. I also like to operate contests as a casual participant from my modest home station. My favorite mode is CW, but these days I’m on FT8 a lot since that’s where much of the activity is. Raised 3 sons and a daughter. Two of my sons are hams. Later in life I’ve enjoyed traveling to a few DX locations and experiencing the DX end of the pileups…
