About

Data nerd and casual DX chaser. A software guy, not a hardware guy.

Active 40m to 70cm - ALWAYS 10w OR LESS.

Almost exclusively operate data modes due to extremely high QRM in an urban QTH. If you catch me on FM/SSB it's rare DX!

I have been asked to stop telling ham radio jokes. They are not being very well received.
