The Activities
Most of my current activities have been on CW and HF DXing.
During 1975-1991, my main interests were on VHF and packet radio. After
a long absence from 1992 to June 2002, my interest shifted to HF DXing.
My activities since 2002 have been mostly in CW, some in other HF
digital modes and SSB.
