Welcome to the W5ALC Webpage.

I have been a Licensed Amateur Radio Operator since 2004. In this time, I have learned a great many things about electronics and Radios in general. I have been playing the guitar since I was 12. Growing up I was exposed to electronics early, I so I was no stranger to PCB's and soldering. We got our first computer back in 1994 and it has been electronics ever since.

I am currently Head of SMT operations for a local Contract Manufacturing company in Austin, Tx. We make PCB's and assembly's for many major companies. We produce electronics assembly's to MIL-STD-810. Rugged electronics that have to work every time.
