I STILL EXCHANGE QSL CARDS!

Send and you shall receive :-)


Albert Thiel - Certified ELMER :-) KD2YDI HAM and WRKX372 GMRS.

Operating Power: HF:100w - 650w+, VHF:100w - 180w - 570w+, UHF 180w

Antennas: Anton99 (6m-10m), 10m-80m end fed (130ft), a Comet CA712EFC for GMRS (ch:16/+5m/pl:67.0) and an omni for 2m & 70cm.


I enjoy the old ways and the new ways of verifying QSOs. Send me a QSL card and I'll do the same! My wall will display your card for all to see. I also acknowledge QSLs on LOTW (when it works) and QRZ. Drop me an email with your log name, Call Sign, time and frequency to be sure that I can accept it if something goes wrong like it usually does. Cards and email (AL@KD2YDI.COM) always work!

* note that log times are in UTC. To match up, your time must match. Contact me via email for help.
