K4OEY

Hello from Alabama and thanks for dropping by.

I was first licensed in 1985 at the age of 16.  My first call was my novice call in 1985...KB4MUM  I upgraded to GENERAL class a few years later and my call changed to K9LTR.    Then in 2005  I changed my call to W4LDX . I got idea for the call since I had been a DJ at a small radio station in Fayette, AL with the call of WLDX. I then moved back to Utah and decided to get back in to HF I decided once again to change my call to N7OEY. I got the idea for this call because of my mother Janice Coe KB4OEY and i thought it would be neat to have my last 3 letters be the same as her call. I then moved back to Alabama and got very active on HF and the 7 land callsign just was not working out being in 4 land so once again a callsign change to N4RDX. After almost a year of mom wanting to know when I was going to a call with the OEY at the end I finally give in and found a call that had never been issued and changed for the last time to K4OEY and now mom is once again happy.
     I  enjoy DX,Contesting, SSTV, and PSK31.  Much of my operating is on HF. I have operated many contest stations such as ARRL 100th W100AW/4 from Huntsville, AL W6Z From the USS Alabama in Mobile, AL and W6L for Lighthouse weekend in Mobile, AL. My past field day callsigns have been Davis County ARC K7DAV in Utah operating from Monte Cristo Mountain, Huntsville ARC K4BFT Huntsville, AL and Fayette County ARC K4ASF operating from Fayette, AL. However, you are likely to hear me on about any band on any mode about any time.

In days of old, when ops were bold and sideband not invented,
the words were passed by pounding brass and all were quite contented!

Long live CW.  Anyone can talk on a microphone.  Heck, I did it for a living!   But it takes a few smarts to work CW.  So, put down the mic and grab the key (bug, paddles, whatever you have) and make a CW QSO today.

Remember......

CW Operators Do It By Hand !
