N4UFP Marc C. Tarplee Rock Hill, SC QCWA # 37072 Chapter 225

Although I have only been licensed since 1988, my interest in communications began in the 1960's when a homebrew SW receiver introduced me to short wave listening. After 2 decades as an SWL, I finally made the leap intoAmateur Radio and have never looked back. I have a variety of Amateur Radio interests including CW operation, VHF/UHF weak signal operation, 160m operation, design and construction of antennas, kit building, DX'ing and contesting. I also can be found from time to time on the OMISS and 3905 Century Club nets. I am active on all bands from 160m to 23cm. If you need a QSO with SC or grid locator EM94, please contact me to set up a sked.

Since 2009,it has been my privilege toserve asARRL SectionManager for the SC Section. Prior to that I served for 7 years as the SC SectionTechnical Coordinator. I am a member of the York County Amateur Radio Society, the Carolina DX Association, and the York County Contesters Group, of which I currently serve as President.

73,
