Welcome to K1PGV's Website

Amateur ("ham") radio station K1PGV is located in Mont Vernon, New Hampshire, USA, grid square FN42dv.

I passed my code test to earn HF privileges in September of 2006, so I'm still pretty new to ham radio.  My main HF interest is currently in digital modes, where I do some casual DXing, casual contesting, and rag chewing.  I'm also interested in communications at VHF and UHF frequencies (though I don't work the local repeaters much), and I especially enjoy monitoring the police and fire departments in my area.

K1PGV QSL Policy

QSLs From Me: I QSL every contact, whether it's a 60 minute ragchew or a quickie contest contact, via LoTW and eqsl.cc. I send my QSL cards direct with SASE by request, or for any contact that I need for DXCC or some other award. I promptly reply to every QSL card I receive with my card.

QSLs To Me:  Of course, I appreciate any QSL I receive. I most appreciate QSLs via LoTW (it's fast, efficient, and I'm a software engineer by trade so an on-line QSL system makes sense to me). If you QSL via eqsl.cc please do me a favor and also QSL via LoTW (if you have that capability).  QSLs from eqsl.cc are fun, but they don't count towards DXCC, and that's one of my main goals right now.

Hey DX Stations!
I've only just finished my first 100 countries for DXCC, and now I'm working on my second 100.  So I really do need your QSL.  Please?  I'm sure requests for your QSL card from relatively common locations gets tiring for you, but I really do appreciate getting your card.

Contact Information: You can send email to me via my callsign at arrl.net (I'm trying to avoid getting more spam than I already get, so I don't want to put the specific address on this page).  You can find all my current contact info on QRZ.COM.
