Biography
Greetings. I was born in 1951 and have been interested in electronics and amateur radio for the past 60 years, but it was only later in life I decided to get my ticket. I obtained my 'Advanced' qualification in 2015.
My career has been in the aerospace and software engineering fields. My interests include all things internet, linux, electronics projects, photography, flying drones, and playing fingerstyle guitar.
I live in the rural suburb of Porters Lake Nova Scotia. My wife and I have been in our lakeside home for the past 20 years and consider ourselves very lucky to live in such a beautiful area. We're just 2 km from the ocean and Lawrencetown Beach, a popular spot for surfing and kiteboarding.
I am currently interested in digital modes and you can find me most of the time operating FT8/4.
I confirm contacts on QRZ, LoTW, eQSL and ClubLOG. I do this daily.
Hope you like the page and look forward to working you on the bands.
