Thanks for visiting my webpage. I am active on most Ham Bands up through 70cm. I also enjoy restoring old broadcast radios (1920-1960 vintage) and older electronic organs.

I have worked all 50 United States on Amateur Radio and with my wife, Betty, have traveled to all 50 United States. We also enjoy biking, golfing, running, and Geocaching.

In 2004 I retired from Consumers Energy in Jackson, Michigan after 35 years of service. I am a graduate of Jackson Community College with an Associate in Technology Degree (Electrical/Electronics) and hold both Amateur and Commerical FCC Licenses. I am also a local Volunteer Examiner for Amateur Radio.

Many thanks to Gary Schauffler, W8KM, for providing the photo of myself installing the MFJ "Cobweb" 1835H antenna. I also use various homebrew dipoles. The antenna tuner is a LDG AT-1000 Autotuner.

My radios are a Kenwood TS-140S, Kenwood TS-590SG, and a uBITX QRP rig for low power operation. A Kenwood TM-241A and a Kenwood TH-F6 Handheld round out the radios. An Ameritron ALS-606 solid state amplifier is used when necessary.

I upload my logs to ARRL LOTW at least monthly.
