College, moves to W and VE and back again, work, and other activities kept Dave out of radio for decades. He met his xyl in this period and completely forgot to mention his radio habit to her; luckily she is very understanding and didn’t leave when, years later, radios and antennae started to appear. Unfortunately for his DXCC ranking, Dave failed to fully take advantage of solar Cycle 23 (lesson: make the most of today’s propagation because tomorrow’s may be worse!). He now enjoys CW ragchewing, warm dark beer, SOTA (activating and chasing), red wine, occasional contesting, Scotch, chasing DX, and when possible, being DX.
He was a member of the ZL9HR DXpedition in 2012 along with several other members of the Mellish Reef 2014 team, and will be active from the Austral Islands as TX6RV in November 2013.
