You see, wire telegraph is kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat.
--- Albert Einstein, when asked to describe radio

On this Ham Radio page I'll have some info about my mobile CW operation and some contest logs, it will grow as I spend time playing radio and have things to report!

I sometimes operate mobile with my Yaesu FT-900AT while driving my Truck to and from work and where'ever I'm heading on the weekends.

I operate almost exclusively CW. I have the front panel of the radio, the speaker and the keyer paddle on the console between the seats. The body of the radio under the driver seat and its own personal deep cycle battery in the back and a Hamstick mobile antenna on the roof with a mag mount!

I first got started in Ham Radio when I was 14 in Florida, in 1975 with the callsign WN4NDR, later WB4NDR. I really enjoyed it, then my interst kinda waned then I got interested again, off and on. It was Ham Radio that got me interested in the RF and microwave specialty in electrical engineering. I like Contesting, DXing, Microwave, Homebrewing, CW! Mostly all I operate now is HF (shortwave frequencies) mobile CW (morse code), a little contesting mobile or from home.

I am occasionally active in our club at work: W7MOT.

I like contesting, unfortunately I don't have a serious contest station.

In fact, here's a several logs:

Look and see if you're in there!

One of our club's monthly meetings a coupla years ago was a trip to visit AZ State University's ASUsat project. I've always been interested in the OSCAR and AMSAT satellite programs and now I work in that industry. It was neat to see an AMSAT satellite under constructions. And now AO-40 has been launched, time to buy some new gear!

Check back, I will update this from time to time.

On my other web sites I have info about my other hobbies including: competitive rifle shooting, I maintain a very extensive website on that. shooting, hunting, foreign languages, etc.
