Past and Present QTHs 

This was my first QTH which I shared with my dad Tony, N3ME (ex KC3AJ, WB3CZK), in Ashton, Maryland.  I was stationed here from September 17, 1977 to September 30, 1984.  Our station consisted of a Kenwood TS-430S and a 3 element tribander at 50 feet.  Many of my DXCC countries were worked from this QTH.

After I got married to Becky, N3OSH, we bought a QTH in Glenelg, Maryland.  Thanks to the help of my friend Frank Donovan, W3LPL, I put up a 75 foot tower and a TH7 tribander.  This QTH was were I learned the higher the antenna the better.  I also learned that if you have a choice between an amplifier or a tower choose the tower!

I now live in Glenwood, Maryland located next door to my good friend Frank, W3LPL.  He has 4 towers that are 200 feet high 1 rotating 140 foot tower and 2 towers that are 100 feet high.  I have 2 towers that are both just over 100 feet high.  Frank has graciously let me bury three runs of 7/8 hardline between our QTHs (700ft) allowing me to get on the bands when there aren't any contests running.  Check out the W3LPL Antenna Farm!

Frank, W3LPL, is a great friend, contester, elmer and neighbor.  One of his recent accomplishments was being inducted into the CQ Contest Hall of Fame.  Click on this to read more
