August 2007
I am a Machinery Technician Chief in the US Coast Guard, and currently serve as the Engineer Petty Officer (Chief Engineer) for the south crew of the USCGC Pea Island (WPB-1347), a 110ft Island Class Patrol Boat. My family and I are stationed in Key West, Florida.
My photo gallery is the most popular part of my site. Click HERE to go there now.
Over the holidays, my family and I visited friends and relatives in Florida. While there, we had the opportunity to stay at what will eventually become our home once I have retired from the US Coast Guard. Click HERE for photos of the property, located in Brooksville, 1 hour north of Tampa. I also had the opportunity to throw up a simple antenna and listen on the bands. I recorded some WAV files; you can hear them HERE.

I competed at the
World Radiosport Team Championship in Finland, in July 2002, along
with my teammate Dan Craig, N6MJ. We finished fourth in the
world. HERE
is my story. In 2001, I operated from K4XS's mega station in the ARRL DX CW contest, setting the current USA low power record. HERE is the story. Do you own a FT-1000MP? Have you "de-clicked" it yet? Don't know what I'm talking about? Look HERE. A couple years back, I made a "promotional" web site for the Florida QSO Party. Using my poor photoshop skills, THIS is what I came up with. I lived in a "No Antenna" location a couple years ago. Did that keep me off the air? Heck no! I had a killer 40M antenna that was effective on 20M, 15M, and 10M as well. HERE is how I did it. |
