Olney, MD in Montgomery County, Grid FM19ld

   
Welcome to N3ALN's site!
 
 
QSL:  For direct QSLs include SASE

Welcome to my web site. I have been a ham since February 2004. I live in Olney, Maryland USA (FM19ld) which is about 10 miles north of Washington, DC with my wife, Laurie and my son Sean (KB3KXW). I am very interested in VHF/UHF and HF. I like to participate in contests and to chase grid squares on 6 meters, so far I have my VUCC with 500 grid squares confirmed. I am new on HF and working towards DXCC on 5 bands, so far I have confirmed 192 countries. I hope to have a QSO with you soon.
