My richest childhood day-dreams centered on visiting exotic place far away
and running pileups for days. I spent hours and hours listening to Don W9WNV,
Gus W4BPD, Martti OH2BH and many others work their piles; all the time
dreaming of one day sounding like a smooth running machine myself. I still
carry that dream in my heart everyday.

Pileups of great ops that feed fast-fire rates on both CW and Phone are my
lifeblood. I have been lucky enough to gather some contest certificates and
plaques which occupy proud space on my wall including several Top Ten finishes
in a number of different contests.
I am an ARRL Life and Legacy Club member, past President of the Texas DX
Society and served as Editor of the National Contest Journal for a
number of years.
In July 2000, I proudly had the honor of represented the the USA and the
Society of Midwest Contesters as Ralph K9ZO's teammate in Slovenia at
WRTC2000 . Martti and the 2004 WRTC Committee in Helsinki appointed me
the event's Ambassador-at-Large, another wonderful experience within the world
of competitive Amateur Radio. I was licensed as WV6WTD in Costa Mesa, CA, in 1962 at the age of 13.
DXing and contesting immediately caught my interest and I spent way too much
time tuning the bands instead of doing homework. My K7BV callsign comes from
living in Washoe Valley, NV where a owned some small fire protection related
businesses. April 2002 I moved to CT to work for ARRL. September 2006 I
accepted the position of North America EVP Amateur Radio Sales Division and
made the move to California...and an apartment...sigh.
