Here you'll learn all about me: my interests and hobbies, the people in my family, my pets, and more. I've even included a list of my favorite links to other sites.

I am proud to be a member of FOC - First Class CW Operators Club.  My member number is 1634 and I've been a member since December 1993.   I am also a founding member of the VooDoo Contest Group.   I've been a member of CADXA for 25 years.

What's New?
I had a very enjoyable trip to Bamako, Mali for the CQWWCW Contest in November 2006.  Take a look at some pictures in my family album from the 2006 trip.  We plan on visting Guinee in November 2007.
 
I am now working on building an eight yagi 2m EME (Moonbounce) array.  The yagis are M2 and are 17 elements on a 33' boom (5 wavelengths).   I have 4 yagis up now with full azimuth and elevation rotation.  Power is 1500w in the shack - 1000 watts at the antennas.  I use some Heliax 1-5/8" coax to reduce losses.   I have completed 229 EME QSO's and have worked 44 DXCC Entities.  I plan to sell the 8 yagis and put up Dual Polarity Yagis in the future. 


KC7V Antenna Farm
Cave Creek, AZ

This is our home and my antenna farm.  The far left tower is 100 feet of Rohn 45 with 6/6/6 on 15m, 2 el Force 12 80m yagi, 6 el 12m yagi and the 160 1/4 wave sloper.  The next tower to the right is 100 feet of Rohn 55 with 6/6 on 20m, 4/4/4 on 10m, 3 el 30m yagi.  The 3rd tower from left to right is 100 feet of Rohn 55 with a 4 el 40m M2 yagi, 7/7/7 on 10m and 6/6 on 15m and an 11 6m yagi at 118'.  This tower is also shunt fed for 160m.  The crank-up tower is about 45 feet tall with a 4 el Antenna Mart Quad with 4 elements each on 10, 12, 15, 17 and 20 and 6 elements on 6m.   There are 4 beverages, a K9AY loop, another small loop, an HF6V and R7 verticals, a homebrew 40m vertical, and a 2 element vertical 80m parasitic array.  All of this is on 2.5 acres.
