Ahh, so what about me??

I've been a licensed amateur now for 26 years and loved every minute of it! I started out doing packet radio  and other digital modes in the beginning, then I set my sights higher. I started to work satellites and other orbital opportunities, I've talked to astronauts/cosmonauts on the Space Shuttle, the International Space Station and Mir. I've worked many modes from space FM,  SSB, CW and SSTV  to name a few.  It's a good aspect of the hobby to work when the sunspot cycle is not the best HI HI.

My profession is in computers/electronics and I've built/repaired many pieces of radio equipment in the past 26 years as required. Homebrew is fun, but I fear a passing skill as the toys become cheaper and more complex, oh well such is life.. onward we go!
