N6PEQ Cyber Shack

N 6 P E Q

I First started as an SWL "KDX6T" in 1974 at age of 4, then became a ham in 1986. Inspired by my grandfather W6RII (SK), and my father N6EGC. Jim Rafferty N6RJ (SK) was my DXing and contesting elmer. I'm forever grateful to these three individuals for teaching me the best of ham radio. My wife is licensed as K6PEQ. I Enjoy DXing and contesting from 160 meters thru 10 meters.
