Welcome to my QRZ page…

I use QRZ as my log book.

If you mail me a QSL Card, you will get one back!

I am actually located in Russia, NY but I get my mail from Poland, the nearest post office.

It’s about 20 miles north of the City of Utica in the Southwestern Adirondack Mountain Foothills.

Ham Shack back in 2010

Many often hear “New York” and picture skyscrapers and concrete…..

Where I live is far from that scene… Herkimer County is one of the most beautiful places to live on Earth…. Here are a few pictures from the area around my home.

Above is Russia Union Church – Meeting Hall along with an old one-room school house.  Both constructed circa 1820.

Back before work and family took me away from Ham Radio…. here is some picture from a decade ago…..
