 Hello, and thanks for stopping by the shack!!!

My name is Darin and I was born in Dickinson, North Dakota. I now live in Tacoma, Washington at grid square CN87tc near the foothills of the Cascade mountain range with Mt. Rainier as a backdrop. I first received my Technician license on 1-24-2012 and upgraded General on 2-19-2013.

I share the shack with my XYL, Terresa (KG7EUR) and our grand daughter, Ashlynn (KG7EUQ), both receiving their licenses on 8-2-2013. I like to work DX and special event stations and I really enjoy a good "ragchew". I like to operate on 20, 17, 15, 12, 10, 6, and 2 meters as well as 70 cm.

My other hobbies (besides wearing out my radios) include digital photography, metal detecting, camping, going to old ghost towns, and the ocasional road trip to nowhere, and building antennas.

I'm a current member of the W7DK - Radio Club of Tacoma (#2545). I also hang out a lot on the WIN System and the W7AAO repeater, as well as 146.580 & 146.520 simplex. I can also be found on EchoLink.

To QSL, I either use eQSL or you can send direct to the address on my QRZ page!

Again, thanks for stopping by and 73!
