Biography

Attention Amateurs and shortwave listeners: I will send out paper QSL cards. If you receive one from me, no pressure to respond. I enjoy receiving QSL cards, so "send 'em if you got 'em." No need to send a self addressed stamped envelope. I send direct or through the bureau.

Hello! Thank you for looking me up! I'm located in the Otter Creek valley between Walkerton and Mildmay in Ontario, Canada. I achieved a basic with honours certification on May 31, 2019 and I obtained my advanced certificate in May 2022 (on Friday 13.)

I am a Net Controller and Assistant Net Manager for ONTARS (Ontario Amateur Radio Service Net) - www.ontars.com 3.755MHz . Come check in with any of the ONTARS Net Controllers 7 days a week, 7am - 6pm. It's a fun, friendly place for all amateurs to check in, pass traffic, get a signal report or a short ragchew. All are welcome.

I am a member of Radio Amateurs of Canada, ONTARS, Georgian Bay Amateur Radio Club, Wingnuts7230, ECARS and SCARS and the Moonlighters.
