K1OYQ - Dennis E. 'Pete' La Pierre
Operating from Myrtle Beach, SC

I'm a former submarine sailor (Gato, Grayling, Teddy Roosevelt, Henry Clay, Will Rodgers, M.G. Vallejo, and COB on the Casimir Pulaski) of 25 years. I originally licensed in 1959 as KN1OYQ and I am very involved with the hobby now that I am retired. My wife Carmen is K4EQQ. QSL: LOTW is preferred or Direct.... In order to simplify my life - No Bureau, No eQSL, No QRZ, No Clublog ------ I'm too old to track and mangage them all ... Sorry.
