I was born in Cleveland, Ohio in
1956 and grew up in the Cleveland, Ohio area where I currently live. Most
of my family has been involved in electronics, radio and television, I
am the fourth FCC licensed Amateur Radio operator in my family and have
operated AM - FM and Single Side band phone or voice, CW, FM packet, Amateur
Television, satellite phone and data modes on various radio bands from
HF through Microwave both at home and in the field. I have participated
in ARRL Field Day, HF - VHF contests, A.R.E.S, the M.A.R.S. program, and
Skywarn at home and in several states while traveling. I am especially
interested in antenna construction, I have designed and built many types
of antennas from scratch including a 9 band wire HF antenna that is used
on a small size metropolitan residential lot which offers less than 1.8
SWR. I have also made several VHF/UHF directional units and as time permits
studying physics hoping someday to provide updates to the Viezbicke tables
of antenna design on file with the National Bureau of Standards.
I have accrued some awards and
recently served as president of the first A.R.R.L. special service club in Ohio,
we earned first in Ohio 5A class in 1997, 3d in 1998 which adds to their great track record having 4 world championships in a row. Visit the Northern Ohio Amateur Radio Society home page

I became interested in computers in my freshman year of high school and in my sophomore year I wrote and debugged my first successful program in a math class and ran it on Case Western Reserve University's Bell Laboratory UNIX / NCR mainframe computer, at this time I never realized I was hooked on computing. I stood by and watched them take over office buildings everywhere and sometime later I discovered I would need to learn more to keep pace with the technology, so I put my sail into the wind of personal computers in 1983 with a Commodore 64 and added every imaginable accessory only to learn something with much more processing power was needed. I have been upgrading along the way since and currently use a Pentium class PC compatible with © MS-DOS, © I.B.M. OS/2 warp, © Linux, © MS-Windows configurations. I have been taking programming and associated classes and have been tutoring small groups through agencies on different elements of file management and program short cuts.
I perform component and system upgrades, mostly on-site for some companies in my home town Cleveland, Ohio. I have another web site covering the details - just click on the link below.

Amateur Radio isn't just talking
.. Amateur Radio isn't just morse code ... Amateur Radio is a fun learning
curve where you can set the pace ... and it is a family oriented hobby
... where the toys can be built at home ... with or without help from friends
... Communicate across your hometown, into the next county or state ...
another country and other continents ... Amateur Radio is so much fun words
can't describe it all ... Yes, you can connect your computer to it ...
and aim towards a satellite or the moon ... or use FM packet for local
contact ... or contact an Astronaut inside a space ship ... Amateur Radio
is as much tinkering now as it was 60 years ago.
