 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. |
 Here is my first QSL from Prescott. The photo is of local landmark Thumb Butte. |
 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. |
 In 2009, I operated with from Sierra Leone with AA7A, ZL2iFB, G3RWF and G4BWP. We used AA7A's call outside the contest. |
 Here is our 2009 QSL with our contest callsign. |
 In 2010, I operated from Sierra Leone again, with AA7A, G4BWP and G3SXW. We used 9L5VT to honor K5VT, who became a Silent Key in 2010. |
