Always wanted to be a ham but never just went and did it. Over the summer I decided to "just do it" and here am I. Received my tech license early August 2007, my General license in early October 2007 and my Extra class license in November 2008.

Running a Kenwood TS-2000 barefoot (100 watts) into a G5RV and using a SignaLink USB for digital communications. I'm a member of the Bergen Amateur Radio Association (BARA) in Northern NJ.

I've been in Information Technology my whole career and enjoy all aspects of computers. Using computers and amaterur radio together is a real pleasure for me.

I keep a blog of my radio activities at http://www.k2dsl.com and a set of ham related web tools at http://www.levinecentral.com/ham/
