DX'ing

I think this is my favorite part of ham radio.  I truly enjoy the competition to work new countries and I consider that I have friends all over the world.  Although I'm not a big-time DXpeditioner, I have operated from a few countries.   I went on a DXpedition to Antigua in 1979 with AA7A and K7JVR (SK) and operated as N7CW/VP2A.  I was XE2GFW for a short time when the Mexican government was issuing callsigns to Americans.  I have operated from France as F/N7CW and in 2003 went to Grand Cayman with K6AM, AA7A, and KY7M to operate ZF1A in the CW WPX contest (we were 4th in the world for Multi-Single).

I was an early member and past president of the Central Arizona DX Club and was a multi-year past president of the San Diego DX Club.   I am currently a member of the Yavapai Amateur Radio Club, which is a general purpose club located here in Prescott.  Hopefully, I will be able to stimulate some interest in DX'ing in the local ham community.
