Biography

Ham since 2000. I enjoy a good rag chew and trying different modes on the various ham bands. I do some relaxed DX and every once in awhile I'll jump into contest for something different. I frequent a number of formal and informal traffic and social nets both HF and VHF. I do a little HF mobile with my FT-891 and ATAS-120. Other interests are birding and working our 8 acres to restore the open areas to native wildflowers and grasses.
