Biography

HOA bound; my Shack is not a permanent location instead, anywhere I have my radio and set up an antenna. I found the hobby from adventure mountain biking volunteering with VHF during a 24 hours race.

I am still in search of the best all around stealth antenna my YL will approve for a modern wood frame stucco house with a tile roof and radiant barrier roof sheathing. I guess I could use it as a large ground plane, maybe.

Finding SOTA and some POTA I have found my shack can be anywhere!

I am learning the characters for CW very slowly.
