Biography

I have been interested in Amateur Radio for 35 years since I was in high school. However, I got my Foundation Class license in 2014. The following year I got my Advanced Class license.

I am mainly interested in home brewing. I have built a multi-band QRP transceiver. I have also built about ten test instruments and few antennas. My latest home brew project was a Poor Hams Scalar Network Analyzer (PHSNA).

I have many years experience in electronics and computers. My main interest in computers is infrastructure vitalization (mainly using VMware platform).
