Hello and thanks for stopping by....

I'd like to invite you to stop by my web site to check out some of my other interests. I'm a ham married to a ham, Connie (N2ATJ). I'm into aviation (private pilot), computers, ORACLE, AMSAT Life Member, AOPA, QRP, photography, traffic handling, public service communications, and Life Member of the ARRL, the national association for amateur radio. Among the nifty features on my web site are lists of famous people who are (or were) hams, and a pretty complete list of all the astronauts and cosmonauts with amateur radio licenses. See
