Amateur Radio Page

Hello and welcome to my site.

I have been an Amateur Radio operator since 1979 and still enjoy working new people and countries. My goal is the DXCC Honor Roll before I become an SK. Maybe I will make it yet.

Amateur Radio Operating Activities: DXCC; active DX chaser; HF contester; active in public service communications; and an early packet radio user; enjoy BPSK 31 and RTTY; manage the W9JOZ.org web site and am the Newsletter Editor for the Starke County Amateur Radio Club. I have been the past President of two different amateur radio clubs.

If you have questions or concerns, please contact me at e-mail: w3ml@w3ml.com. I find e-mail to be one of the best ways to communicate when telephone or in person conversations are impossible.

Since putting up a tri-bander and purchasing the Yaesu FT 2000D I have worked more DX than before those two were bought. I enjoy the radio very much as it has the ability to filter out more noise than the other radios I own. The 200 watts help out too. One thing for sure is you must read the manual to know how to set everything up.

Below is a shot of my operating desk. In the center of the lower part is the new Yaesu FT-2000D, the FT-101-ZD and the FC-301 tuner. Above those is the FT-840 and the computer interfaces on the left.

Not shown in this picture is the new Kenwood TS-2000 that I purchased at Dayton 2011. Even tough it is hardly used, mostly on 2 and 6 meters, it is like new. Not many hours on it. I bet it has been used only a couple of hours at the most.

County Hunters

I live in Starke County in Indiana. It is a small county with very few hams active on HF. County hunters contact me via email and we can set up a schedule, if you need Starke County.

You can email me at w3ml@w3ml.com if you want a schedule with me or have a question. I am always available for help when it comes to Ham Radio.
