Welcome to my web site!

New Feature added! Check "My Journal" link at left to see news about recent upgrades and improvements.

I enjoy many facets in Amateur Radio, particularly - Public service/ ARES, and Contesting. The ARES link at left, provides a little background, and links to pages dedicated to these activities. The bulk of this site will lean much more heavily toward the competitive side. 

I live just northeast of Monroe, Louisiana, in the Swartz community. Louisiana has Parishes rather than counties, and mine is Ouachita (pronounced WASH-i tah). My property (1 acre) sits at 90'ASL. I am in grid EM32xn, CQ zone 4, ITU zone 7.

Out of all I have learned in my Amateur "career", three quotes stand out:

For everyday operating..."A resonant antenna for each band will save you lots of headaches over the years" - WA5YOU

For contesting ... "Just turn on the amp and think LOUD!" - NN1N

For station building ... "A competitive station isn't built overnight. It takes lots of research, planning and implementation. Try to do at least one thing every day and eventually, you will reach your goal" - WE3C

Please feel free to look around, and drop me a note if you have any questions or comments. Email link available at bottom of every page.

Thanks for stopping by!
