I have a very basic UHF/VHF setup with a few HTs, and a portable QRP HF rig. I like to go to local parks and hills to see who I can contact. You might find me on 10m SSB or FT8. I have constructed a speaker wire dipole and it works really well on 10m. I've managed to make DX contacts with only 5-10 watts. I also have a 6m antenna which I use from time to time. My goal is to contact as many states and countries as possible with this basic setup, taking advantage of the peak of Solar Cycle 25 while it lasts. My brother is KR4AMW.

I'm active on the WIN System Insomniac Trivia Net.
