Notes: Grew up in Ottumwa and started listening to shortwave at age 13 and was intrigued by CW signals in the marine and ham bands. Got my Novice license two years later, KAØENQ. Introduced to RTTY in 1981 by Jim KØYPP. Held call sign KDØRT for many years before vanity program came along. CW & RTTY are my favorite modes, but I also enjoy SSB. I enjoy chasing DX and have been dabbling in contesting again. The photo above was taken while operating portable in North Carolina.
