Hello and welcome to my homepage. I'd like to share a couple of my hobbies with you. I generally spend my winters chasing DX on 160 meters and my summers
chasing Ol' Bigmouth.
So far I've managed to snag enough DX to make #1 Honor Roll and earn 5BDXCC. Incidentally, I was the first amateur to work H40AA. I've also worked 6BWAS and 5BDXCC. I'm now working to confirm 100 countries on 160 meters for 6BDXCC. My station consists of a Yeasu FT-1000MP transceiver driving an Ameritron AL-1200 amplifier.
My lowband antennas are three HyGain hytower verticals. The outside two hytowers are centerloaded on 160 meters and phased with quarterwave spacing. The center hytower operates on 80 and 40 meters.
I've been largemouth bass fishing for 19 years. For years I've fished bass tournaments, but these days I spend most of my time just fishing local lakes. I've used Ranger boats since 1993 and my present bassboat is 2004 Ranger 195 VS powered by a 200 HP Yamaha.
Over the years fishing has been good; although I've still not caught that 10 pound bass, I've sure caught a lot of 7 to 9 pounders.
