Amateur Radio

I have been an amateur radio operator since 1976. I hold an Amateur Extra license.

See pictures of my radio shack.

I am past member, president and secretary of

• Wheaton Community Radio Amateurs (WCRA), Wheaton, IL, which puts on the best one-day hamfest in the country every January

• Yavapai Amateur Radio Club (YARC) in Prescott, AZ (Currently club president)
• Yavapai County ARES/RACES organization. Our Mt. Union repeater site.
• American Radio Relay League (ARRL)

I enjoy chasing DX (talking to operators in other countries, especially ones in which I have never talked to an amateur operator before), working special event stations and general rag chewing.

I am a trained weather spotter. There are some good weather links at Northern Illinois Multi-County SKYWARN Network
