OTHER PROJECTS.

 

I am an inventor and I have two patents in the U.S.A. I love to talk on ham radio, and with my friends on  the computer. I am a General Class Ham Radio Ticket Holder. I spent four years in the Navy then I worked in construction for most of my life. I've had open heart surgery several years ago. I thank God for every day of life. Let us put prayer back in our schools.

My first invention was a mortar spreading machine. It spreads mortar for block and brick by vibration. This was my first U. S. Patton. My second invention was a tobacco grading machine, called the Super grader. It takes the leaves off the tobacco to save labor time vs removing the leaves by hand. I've been told it can easily strip an acre a day.

I became a ham in the summer of 1995. I was talking with a manager at radio shack and we became friends. He sold me an htx202 and I listened to the hams for a while. One day I heard of a testing session in Dante Va. I barely made it in time but I made my license that day. I upgraded to general at the shelby hamfest in 2005. I used to be a cber before I became a Ham. I enjoy building antennas, including jpoles and beams. I build all of them out of Tv cable hardline. I also enjoy talking to people on the internet. I can be found on pal talk, Ilink, Yahoo, and ICQ on the internet. I can be found on 146.820 and 145.190 and 145.410 on the 2 meter band. I have 3 ICOM 2100H 2 meter Mobiles. I run duel homemade 13b2 antennas made out of aluminum hardline on 2 meters. I also operate Hf using a Kenwood 430s. I have tried many different homemade antennas. Currently I am using an multiband inverted v dipole antenna made exclusively out of tape mesaures. It is very broadbanded. When mobile I use a kenwood ts 50 with a screwdriver antenna. I can be heard on Hf on 3870, 3855, 7258, 7251, and on 20 meter Dx. I am a member of the awful awful ugly net on 3855 nightly at 8pm central. and I am a member of medcars on 7258 and medcars on 7251.

One of my most memorable adventures was at the Shelby NC ham fest using a beech tree for a 2 meter antenna. We cut a beach tree down and took it with us to the Shelby ham fest. The S.E.R.A. repeater journal has ran a picture & story about my Shelby Tree in the Jan. 2002 issue.

My page is built in sections. Most of it is dedicated to the hobby I love, and since i enjoy making things i will include photos of what I have created. Contact me and I will be happy to make some of the antennas or other items for you. We can discuss price by email. My email address is above by my picture.

Thanks For visiting

The Solar Heater!

 

This is my solar heater design constructed from simple materials you can find around most any home, I have tested and found it to reach temperatures of over 150 degrees. It takes advantage of free heat from the sun and it can be located at any window facing southwest.

This photo shows just how much heat it can produce.

I'm Not responsible if you set your drapes ablaze!!!
