I've been a ham since 1993 when some colleagues, K4QL and K4HA, at my then employer, Bell Northern Research (Nortel’s R&D division), goaded me into studying for the exams. I am glad they did as this is a great hobby. I have spent a lot of time (and money) along the way.

An amateur radio license is a license to experiment with communications and communications technology, which is first class entertainment for me. I get on the air occasionally to fool around in this very diverse hobby with digital and analog modes, contests, DXing, rag chews, nets etc.

I have a small but nicely equipped radio station and enjoy using it when time permits.
