As you can see from the photo on the left, I like chasing awards. I got my original mixed DXCC in 1982 and finally reached honor roll in 2009. Here is the list of DXCC entities that I still need. I also have 9-band DXCC and continue to work on my 6m DXCC (a long term goal).

ON-THE-AIR

I am an avid contester / DXer and enjoy operating various HF and VHF / UHF contests from the home QTH as well as other locations, my favorite contest is CQWW . I have also tried my hand at mobile contesting participating in several New England QSO parties with mixed results.

In 2010 I operated the CQWW Phone contest from Bermuda as VP9/N1SV. This was the first time operating outside the US and it was a real learning experience for me!. I operated from the QTH of VP9GE and had a great time. Ed was super and made sure that I had verything I needed. So with lessons learned from 2010, I returned again in 2011 to operate the CQWW Phone contest from Bermuda. This time using the call VP9I and finishing with a claimed score of 3.1M!
