Biography

I love this hobby and really enjoy the friends I have met on the air and in person. Exchanging stories as well as ideas. This to me is the heart of Amateur Radio "Experimentation in all areas". I am more of a ragchewer than a paper chaser. I enjoy operating on 160m, 75m, 40m, 20m, 17m, 10m, 6m, and 2m.
