I was first licensed in 1973 while in Junior High School. With an inverted V, DX100 transmitter, and a Realistic receiver I was able to make many great DX CW contacts from my QTH in San Francisco.

Now, I live in a condo and don't have the space for a proper antenna, but I still enjoy tinkering around with radios and building projects.

I've dabbled in D-STAR and now APRS.

Other hobbies include Linux (many years) and now BSD (recent). Music and home automation.

I work at a National Laboratory Oracle Corp. as a software developer.
