Mixing HAM and HeART

OK8EZ My Czech call sign OK8EZ is the call sign I was issued last fall when I visited the Czech Republic. It was quite an adventure applying for my Czech license. I want to return to Prague soon and spend some time operating HF from the CZ.

I also did a little work for Radio Prague when I was there. I recorded some shortwave broadcasts from the national headquartes of Czech Radio in the heart of Prague.


I don't have my whole HAM career planned, but I have dsigend the QSL card that I hope to have some day. It all started last summer when I made a radio tower out of Christmas lights in my room at The University of Southern Mississippi.

Not only do I want a tower like this on my QSL card, I want one in my backyard someday too!


Other QSL's

I designed this QSL about a year ago and then used it for Good News World, a ministry in Texas with a short wave broacast. Utill I met them, they didn't know what a QSL was. So now I'm their QSL manager as well as their webmaster. Good News World QSL card
antenna farm QSL A lot of us dream of having a huge antenna farm. So I designed a card just for antenna lovers. If only we all had enough room to take in all the stray antennas we met on the street.


Christmas Cards

Not just HAM stuff. I've been drawing Chirstmas cards for a few years now. This is the most recent one from 1997.

The card below is my Mystery Science Theater 3000 card from 1995. I sold the original at the World Science FIction Convention in 1996.

These guys are a couple of my creations. You might recognize the dolll from the 1997 Christmas card.
