How to Contact Me

If you’d like to QSO, let’s try to schedule something on HF!

I’m not a fan of Social Media. DELETE SOCIAL MEDIA! It is highly addictive, harmful to mental health, and incredibly invasive of privacy. I use Twitter on a limited basis, only on a computer, and for the purpose of helping and sharing with others interested in ham radio– not for doomscrolling.

I like to be on the CW/digital portion of the bands. I also like chasing SOTA whenever I get the chance, so I go on the SSB portion of those bands for that and for various contests.

I spend most of my radio talk time on DStar digital voice. I use a OpenSpot3 hotspot to hang out on XReflector XLX367 which I built. (Connect to this on DStar REF367A, crosslinked to YSF 68798 and Talkgroup 3128459 on the Brandmeister Network, as well as internally linked to XLX367 DMR.) If you use AllStar, my AllStar Node is 54832.

I also started a Slack instance for a bunch of hams and we call ourselves JerryNet™. This Slack is bridged to a matrix instance. We have a largely inactive newsgroup called Bacon Radio. Feel free to request an invitation if you want to chat or post discussion topics/files.

Sometimes I pop in on my ARES group’s 2m repeater N6ICW (Sacramento Valley) 147.195+ PL 123.0.

Since I do have a fairly busy day job, the best way to notify me is via Twitter or Threema.

You can also drop me an email. I like secure email so if you want my address, grab it off QRZ and encrypt your message to this PGP public key:
