Amateur Radio Station K4RRF

United States Navy

Welcome to my web site. After many, many years of working DX, amateur radio lighthouses, 10-10 International numbers, and various radio related special events I have decided to put this web site online. The materials presented on my site are not meant as a means for me to brag about some of the contacts I have been privileged to work. My goal in assembling these materials is simply so others can enjoy these various QSL cards and certificates as much as I have enjoyed both working these stations and collecting the associated certificates and QSL cards.


As you can guess by the header image and the Department of Navy seal, I served our great country in the U.S. Navy from 1953 up until I was honorably discharged. Although I have been discharged and am now 72 years old I am still an active member of the Navy. As anyone who has served in the Navy can attest to I served along some of America's finest on many ships. One notable ship I served on was the supercarrier USS Forrestal (CV-59) and I am a "plank owner" of the USS Forrestal ,where more information on the USS Forrestal can be found here:USS Tarawa (CV-40)
