I have spent Eight years in and out of hospital and now am recovering. Feel free to check out my website www.wc4j.com all the gear is now gone and my station now sits on a table in living room where my wheelchair can go. There is still good fun to be had working CW RTTY and the new wonder of radio FT8.

01/2012 update Thanks To a really good friend and great Ham My shack now has a ICOM IC-756PROIII as the main rig and it is a dream!

I will listen, and listen, and then listen again before calling.
I will only call if I can copy the DX station properly.
I will not trust the DX cluster and will be sure of the DX station's call sign before calling.
I will not interfere with the DX station nor anyone calling and will never tune up on the DX frequency or in the QSX slot.
I will wait for the DX station to end a contact before I call.
I will always send my full call sign.
I will call and then listen for a reasonable interval. I will not call continuously.
I will not transmit when the DX operator calls another call sign, not mine.
I will not transmit when the DX operator queries a call sign not like mine.
I will not transmit when the DX station requests geographic areas other than mine.
When the DX operator calls me, I will not repeat my call sign unless I think he has copied it incorrectly.
I will be thankful if and when I do make a contact.
I will respect my fellow hams and conduct myself so as to earn their respect.
