The Data Mode parts of the bands are where you will find me most of the time, I hope to see you on my screen at some point.

My main data mode software is WSJT, WSJT-X,  Fldigi, sim_psk, MMSSTV, MRP4066 and Multipsk.

For logging, rig control etc. I use the  DXLab Suite and for contesting N1MM.

For HF I use a variety of vertical whip antenna or long wires. For VHF a 5 Element Yagi and co-linear for 2 & 70cms FM.

I look forward to hearing from you on air, via email or QSL card. If we have already worked, thank you for the QSO and hope to meet you again on the bands.

Contact from SWLs welcome, I used to be RS91568. I will always QSL by whatever means you prefer (but only if you provide the callsign of my QSO partner)

I upload all QSOs to QRZ, LoTW, eQSL and ClubLog usually the day of the QSO. Email me if you need to check a QSO.

I send QSL cards via the Bureau if asked and respond to any I receive. I respond to all direct QSL cards, just enclose an addressed envelope and 2xUSD.

Although I use eQSL and LoTW I still love to receive qsl cards so please send me yours.
