Biography

Always fascinated with radio in general since the 80's when I would listen to FM stations from Windsor, CA bouncing across Lake Erie into northern Ohio at night.

Started listening to SW on a TECSUN PL-380 back in 2022. Great little radio for BC SWL, however lacks SSB. That lead me to the ETON.

I also have a 15W FM transmitter that I'll occassionally use to broadcast to the neighborhood (getting roughly a 4 mile range).

Enjoy finding vintage HI-FI equipment and restoring to working condition, especially cassette decks.

Planning to step up to my HAM ticket in 2025.
