For the time being, Xastir's IGate function is disabled; the DIGI setting of the TNC is set to ON but MYALIAS is blank.
The tracker in my vehicle (KE5AQD-3) consists of an Alinco DR-1200 VHF radio, a TinyTrak3+ and a Garmin GPS-18LVC. When away from my vehicle I use a Kenwood TH-D7A HT and an Garmin Etrex GPS. When out trail riding on my bike, I hook my D7 to this antenna that I built.

I recently aquired a Yaesu FT-840 (eBay is a wonderful thing) so now I am up SSB, AM, & CW on 10m, 17m, 20m, 30m, and 40m. I bought the CW filter for my new unit, along with the serial interface. The filter works great, but I have yet to get the interface to work via a USB adapter. My MFJ Antenna tuner is able to tune my parallel dipole on 17m and 30m pretty good, but 12, 15 and 80m don't tune so well. I guess I'll have to see where I can stick more antennas on my roof for those bands.
15 Dec 2006 I've upgraded to an Icom 756 Pro 2. I've been having a great deal of fun figuring out all the whistles and bells. This xceiver has 6M capabilities so now I'll be looking to install a decent 6M antenna. The internal keyer of this rig has giving me a bit of frustration. It seems that Icom did not see fit to give users the ability to choose between Mode A and Mode B. The rig only does Mode B. It's taken me a few days to get used to it but I seem to be sending readable code now.
20 Dec 2006 I just joined the SKCC (#2470C). I've never actually used a straight key but I'm looking to get one now. I figure that since the FCC doesn't seem to care about the preservation of the art and skill of Morse Code then I need to do it my myself. I will probably still use my paddles and keyer most of the time but if you want to exchange SKCC numbers I will switch to the SK (when I actually get one HIHI). I've been using the SKCC Gold key #46.
I am now active on PSK31 and RTTY. I use DarwinPSK on my Mac and my radio interface is a RigBlaster Plus. Look for me on your waterfall.
01 Jan 2007 I've changed over to
cocoaModem for all my digital
activities. (070 Club# 459
30MDG# 68 Feld Hell Club# FH2837)
It is a truely FB piece of software! One of it's magical
capabilites
is the implementation of the waterfall click-buffer. cocoaModem's contest interface
is also a fantastic ability. Also, it has Hellschrieber mode so I'm looking forward
to my first QSOs in that mode.
I've written and/or modified some Applescripts to
use with cocoaModem and
MacLoggerDX. Downloads

I like to QSL. If I copied your callsign and heard you repeat mine, you'll be getting a QSL card unless we have already worked this band/mode. If you don't get one and my logbook says I sent it, blame USPS and let me know, I'll send another. I tend to send them out in batches though. I hold those going out via buro until I have 7 or 8, directs until I have around thirty. I'm set up in the FISTS, ARRL, and 3905ccn buros, but always feel free to QSL direct; no SASE needed. If you are a FISTS Club member or we made contact on a 3905 Century Club net, I'll be sending yours via the buro unless otherwise specified. I usually try to gleen your QSL details from QRZ.com and follow any instructions found there. I've been leaning toward machine printing my QSLs so if you require a hand-written one for award purposes, just let me know.
My day-to-day logger is MacLoggerDX. I like it for its extensive memory and rig control capabilities. But, for long term storage and record-keeping I use jLog. It can load up 10,000 records lightning fast and implements just about every ADIF tag in the spec. Additioanlly, it can export in XML format which makes maintaining a web version of my log a snap.
eQSL -- I have an eQSL (AG) account and will acknowledge eQSLs but I still like
getting and sending real cards. My Profile Awards: eDX ePFX300
LoTW -- I upload my log to LoTW every month or so.
