Merri
ABØMV was licensed in December 1996 as KF4OAD
after watching ham radio operators in a Red Cross shelter she was staffing
during Hurricane Fran in North Carolina. The
contest bug hit her during her first weekend on HF. During the 1998
ARRL 10 meter contest she had a QSO with AEØQ.
After CW skeds on the air and flights across country, they were married
in 2000 and she became ABØMV. Merri enjoys SSB contests because,
after years of studying French and other languages, she loves foreign accents.
Her favorite contests are the JIDX, All Asia and NAQP. My dog Dante
loves SSB and CW.

KØUK Bill Grand

Uncle Bethel P. Brown in KØUK's home town of Henderson,
Ky. first introduced him to ham radio. In 1960 with the advent of
the transistor in 1960 he received his novice license. He discovered
contesting by wanting to work DX especially on 40m SSB & CW. In 1973
he moved to Denver CO where the contesting bug bite hard. unning with the
Colorado Conspiracy Club he met W0UA, K0RF, W0UN, W0ZV, K0YK and K0TR.
These hams helped me to improve both his station and contest techniques.
Bill’s main mentor was K0KE Keith Errickson. He was most influential in
helping Bill hone his skills and encouraged him to compete against himself
not others. Bill mostly uses the LP power level due to pesky neighbors.
Bill was also one of many Grand Mesa Contestors and DX Society Presidents
& served various functions, trustee being the latest.

to do to get the house back in at least a state of "controlled chaos"!

Benjie is a retired Aerospace Engineer. He became a ham because
his father and uncle were hams and he used to hunt transmitters on ten
meters with his father when he was a child in North Platte back in the
50's. He got his license in 1978 (N6BLQ) so he could talk with his father
(K7NWC) everyday or at least every week until he died in 1984. Benjie enjoys
HF contesting very much and has only missed three field days since 1979,
two due to illness. One was a vacation where there weren't any ham rigs,
ha! He lived in San Diego for 15 years and did a lot of emergency
volunteer work, and was able to participate in the 1984 Olympics as a radio
communicator for the horse jumping events held in Del Mar. He likes
the EOSS balloon group and also enjoys fox hunting.

Ken WØETT started short wave listening by building regenerative
receivers as a teenager while his father was stationed at Wiesbaden AFB,
Germany in 1957. Ken got my novice license, KN8MTK in December, 1958.
Ken got the call WØETT when my parents moved to Littleton, Colorado
in 1961 and he transferred to the University of Denver. While in Peace
Corps in Brazil in '64-66, Ken did a little operating at his friend's QTH,
PY7CKQ. During a stint in Saigon, Vietnam with USAID Refugee and War Victims
Directorate from '68 - 72, he was back to SWLing since he couldn't get
a license. Ken got back to Colorado in 1974 and started contesting
at his father’s cabin in South Park. With a homemade 2wl 20m rhombic at
about 20' and 100w FT101z, he was having a good time DXing, handling traffic,
and getting into contests again. In 1979, Ken upon old 6m again
and became hooked on VHF. Using just 25 watts into a Ringo 6m vertical,
he worked 25 JAs on CW during the solar cycle peak. Wow! 6 meters has been
fun over the years with local ragchewing, contesting, working WAS in two
years, and 102 DX countries over 23 years. On 2m, Ken has 40 states confirmed
and over 150 grids towards VUCC. In 1997, Ken moved from Littleton
where he had a R-5 vertical for HF and a 7 elements on 6m to Parker, CO
where he has 5 acres worth of elbow room. Hooray! Ken put up two towers
and a bunch of HF and VHF antennas which accept the 100w from his trusty
IC756 quite well. Ken really enjoys DX contests sponsored by CQ WW and
ARRL. Ken also enjoys the NAQP, VHF, WPX, and 10m contests also very much.

enjoys contesting and DXing almost since the beginning his firs license
as KØBHM in 1960. He somehow missed about twenty years of hamming:
marriage, making a living, raising kids --all the usual stuff. Clearly
not a good situation! Gary has spent time in the Vail every year
since his first visit in 1968. By 1993 he was ready for my
mountaintop ham station & found a great spot on Bellyache Ridge
20 miles west of Vail. Its definitely not Kansas! At 8,700 feet he has
40 mile line-of-sight in most directions. His DXCC total is now 331/351.
Business owner Midtec Associates, Inc. a manufacturers' representative

| First licensed in 1974 as WB0NHA at the age of 13 years old.
In 1990 the DX and Contesting bug bit and REALLY bit hard. Greg has worked
305 worked countries (295 confirmed) with just a modest postage stamp size
lot, and low antennas. The Sweepstakes contest is his favorite contest
and now he never misses CQWW. Favorite mode is CW, but he has done some
SSB. Greg has been the Secretary/Treasurer for Mile
High DX Association since 1996, andhe is the qsl manager for MHDXA
club call K0AB. The teenagers are almost out of the house, so its on to
the Honor Roll hopefully in the coming few years! He have been married
to a GREAT XYL for 21 years and is employed in the Elevator Industry. |
