Biography

Good day, thanks for dropping by and taking a look at my profile. I was born in 1976 in the town of Brampton, Ontario, Canada. Brampton used to be a great city before certain "undesirables" began moving in and started to turn the city into a horrible place to live, so therefore I moved north. I was licensed in 2004 and received a 94% passing grade that granted me my HF privileges. I am now living in the town of Wasaga Beach which lies on the south shores of Georgian Bay that is part of the eastern portion of Lake Huron.

I'm fond of of various digital modes, especially PSK31, HF Packet, SSTV, Olivia, RTTY and CW (I'm getting better). At the same time I enjoy just hanging out and rag chewing the night away with friends I've made over the years south of the border and in Canada, usually on 75, 40 and 20 meters. Right now I am taking great advantage of the 10 meter band openings during this cycle, so listen for me on that band; I hope to make contact with you. I have also aquired a taste for ESSB and have put myself together a fairly sweet sounding station over the years using various cheap Behringer audio rack devices. Anyways, hope to catch you around the band sometime again, take care.
