Greetings!
Hi from John, N8MDP and thanks for viewing my website. I have been a Ham Operator for over 20 years, currently holding an Extra Class license. My previous callsign when I was first licenced was KB8JDK. I enjoy operating on 10, 15, 20, and 40 meters SSB, PSK, and RTTY. I especially enjoy contesting. I also enjoy SSTV and Digital SSTV. I do send pictures occasionally on 7.173Mhz using Easypal. You can also catch the pictures that I receive using the Digisites software. I also post received pictures on my website at http://www.n8mdp.com/easypalpix.html and I encourage you to take a look. All of my QSL cards are available for review on the site in my QSL Card Database and you can check into my WebCams as well.
My QTH is about 26 miles to the east/southeast of Cleveland, Ohio in a small community called Auburn Township in the county of Geauga. My home is on 2.5 acres at an altitude of 1207' ASL.
QTH:
EN91jj, CQ zone 4, ITU zone 8.
Coordinates: 41o 22' 30.61 " N, 81o 14' 45.16 " W
My email address is: ars_n8mdp@windstream.net
QSLing:
#1: Logbook of The World (LOTW) ==> Preferred Method
#2: Direct: My address above is accurate
#3: Buro
I do have an eQSL account but I prefer not to use that as it does not count towards awards. Don't expect a reply from me. If you have any QSLing questions for me, please send me an email to let me know how to send QSL cards to you for DX contacts.
Please feel free to look around, and drop me a note if you have any questions or comments. I'd like to get your feedback on what I can do to make this site better too! Email link available at the bottom of every page.
Thanks for stopping by!
73 de John, N8MDP
