Hi folks!

I got into ham radio in 1999, but mostly just worked in VHF hitting SF Bay Area repeaters on 2 meters. I wanted ultimate portability, but never knew what it would be like to have a powerful rig. In 2017 (yes, 18 years later of my handheld talkies gathering dust), I finally got moved to find out more about HF and higher-wattage rigs, and got a Yaesu FT-857D. This opened up what hams have known all along: There’s a big world of radio out there to learn about and explore!

This site will have some of my learnings and notes about new contacts, as well as some of the passions that drive my interest in radio technology.

Thanks for stopping by! More to come, hopefully in less than 18 years.
