I have been a ham operator continuously for 54 years.

I was first licensed in Michigan as W8NSO in 1953, operating Novice CW, then 160 AM, 75 SSB, and 80 RTTY. When I got married in 1966, I moved to Colorado and obtained my present call of W0LMD.

Electronic experimenting, amateur satellites, PSK-31 & ragchewing are my primary ham interests. I operate all the bands from Conifer, Colorado, which is about 30 miles SW of Denver, Colorado.

I am designing a very narrow digital voice system (~ 50 Hz bandwidth) for use on the amateur satellite AO-51 and anxiously awaiting a new High Earth Orbiting Satellite like AO-40. My webpage gives all the details for converting TVRO dishes to great ham antennas. In the meantime I enjoy modeling HF antenna arrays for 160M to 17M, then building ones that look especially good. I do not like the current generation of Software Defined Radio (SDR) , so I have started a new activity called "User Designed Radio (USR)" - See my webpage http://www.ultimatecharger.com/Ham.html for details.

I have several other serious hobbies, including large R/C electric airplanes,amateur astronomy emphasizing astro imaging of comets, and computerized music on my pipe organ.
