Welcome to my Amateur Radio (Ham Radio) web site! I have been a licensed radio operator almost 30 years - from the time I was a teenager. I had a long period inactivity, but something happened about four years ago that really got me excited about radio again. You can read about it on my CW page.

Check out
my CW page for details on this convenient way to
master the code.
At this time this site focuses on these things:
- CW as a fun mode of communication - and a great way to learn it
- QRP - Using low power and simple antennas to make contacts on the air
- My station and my philosophy about radio
I also have a few links that I have found to be exceptional. I kept the list short, and only placed links to sites that hold a particular relevance to what I present on this site.

Did we have a QSO?
Perhaps you found this page as a result of a QSO we had on the air. I hope so!!! If not, I hope we have the chance to have a conversation (QSO) on the air soon. I listen much more than I talk. You can usually find me on on 40 meters in the evenings. I also get on 20. I haven't done well on 30 with my antenna, but that doesn't keep me from trying. I like 80 meters, but the noise from the power lines around the QTH prevent me from hearing all but the strongest signals..

I'm a member of the Great Basin Contest Group. This is a small group of hams that just like to find an excuse to take radios to a campsite and make some contacts.
