User info

Started tinkering with my Dad's old RCA Mark 9 when I was barely in my teens. Subscribed to CQ magazine from my mid-teens, always building Heathkit projects & Model rocketry. I taught myself morse & got up to ~10-12wpm, but never tested for my license. My interest in girls took over & I never got my ticket till thirty-plus years later, passing my Tech/General on my first try.. (1Q-2010). Looking to crack the books, go ahead & get my Extra, as soon as I can commit study time..
I am the proud grandfather of a little red-head.

Over thirty years in Telecom, I am presently working for an Engineering & Consulting firm.

Worked as a Volunteer DJ at a Non-Profit FM Station (KSWP) for ~5 years.
Favorite hobby's include Snowboarding (25+yrs), Sport & Trad Climbing all over Texas, Colorado & Arkansas for the past 20+ years, Riding & racing too many bicycles (road, MTB, CX, SS, Cruizer, etc..) Did a bit of TXBRA racing, till a bad spill several years ago..
I still enjoy entering an occasional race (12-hr MTB events being my favorite).
