ALWAYS SAVED TIME TO GET ON THE AIR.  A CW SPECIALIST NOWADAYS, DENNIS
OPERATES ON ALL BANDS USING PHONE AND FT8, BUT HE STILL HAS AN AFFINITY FOR
CW.  HE PREFERS TO STRAY AWAY FROM THE STANDARD CW QSO AND HAVE A
DISCUSSION.  DENNIS EXPLAINS, ITS NICE TO COME DOWN TO THE SHACK, TURN THE
RIG ON 40 METERS, AND WORK A GUY 300 MILES AWAY IVE CHASED DX AND DONE IT
ALL, BUT A GOOD RAGCHEW IS STILL THE MOST PLEASURABLE PART OF THIS HOBBY.
HIS GO TO PIECES OF EQUIPMENT ARE A YAESU FT 1000MP AND A MATCHING VL 1000
