About Me

Hi, Thanks for stopping by. I was first licensed in 2015 and quickly grew from a tech with a 2m HT to an extra class in 2018 with a shack full of test equipment and HF radios. I refurbished an old ROHN AX series 46ft tower with a Ham IV rotor and controller and have had various antennas on it since. Currently transmitting on a 4 element cubical quad, a 6M omni and a home brew 80M dipole sloper. I’m a self employed electrician by trade and I also keep busy camping, hunting, fishing, shooting, off roading, Riding my motorcycle with friends, building cars & trucks as well as welding, fabrication and 3D Printing and still find time for my 6 piece country band.  I can usually be found working digital modes. I became an OMISS member in Feb 2023 so lately I can be found on the OMISS nets. My QSL info can be found below.
