 I moved to San Diego in 1985. I took many trips to Pt. Loma to get just the right photo for this card. |
 I have been operating from Imperial County for the California QSO Party for about 18 years. For many of those years, we used the San Diego DX Club callsign. |
 The Imperial County gang, K6QK, K6ZH and I, decided to try the Nevada QSO Party. It was pretty much a disaster. |
 Over the years, I have dabbled in QRP. I carried a 40M QRP (2W) rig with me during a backpacking trip through the Sierras in Northern California and made enough QSOs to justify a QSL card. |
 In order to operate as ZF1A, I had to apply for a personal ZF call. I had asked for ZF2CW, but since it was taken, they let me choose something else. |
 My current QSL. To get one of these, just send me yours. No SASE or postage required. This was printed by UX5UO who did an incredible job. Gennady's customer service was superb. |
 Jim, K6ZH, Bruce, K0YW and I went to Goldfield in 2009 for the 7th Area QSO Party. We were much more successful than in 2002, with over 1400 contacts. |
