 Welcome!

I'm running a Kenwood TS-590SG barefoot into a Hy-Power 2B2040L antenna (20 and 40 meter dual-band dipole) fed with LMR-400 at about 25 feet on the roof of my home here in San Francisco for digital modes. Given the current solar minimum and my city-lot sized antenna and 100W out, I'm focusing on digital modes at the moment. Prefer FT8, since that is where everyone else is.

I use eQSL, QRZ, and LOTW for logging, and will reply to all QSL cards sent to me with an actual paper QSL card that I print myself in my printshop using equipment from the 1940's. No need to send a SASE or money or anything else. If you go to the trouble and cost of sending me a paper QSL card, I will gladly return the favor. 

First licensed 1996 as KC7SRE in Boise Idaho, when I moved to San Francisco in 1998 my call was systematically changed to KF6SAM. In 2016 I used the vanity call system to change my call to W6AWD. My website is http://w6awd.us.

Thanks for visiting!
