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.
