My hobbies consist of Ham Radio, Writing and Bass Fishing, the latter of which I now do very little.  I do enjoy writing short articles etc. see Writings and Ramblings,  and have written quite a number for Amateur Radio Newsletters.  I also produced and wrote most of the material for a twelve page newsletter, The Oazrks 285.  For this newsletter, I was given an Excellence Award by the Amateur Radio News Service in 1996.

I have been an amateur radio operator for about 9 years and hold an Extra Class license.  I enjoy home brewing ham radio equipment and accessories.  Some work and some of them, I let the smoke out of them and they fail to work.  I also enjoy the 75 and 17 meter bands.   My Ham Station consists of a Ten Tec Paragon High Frequency transceiver, a Ten Tec Argosy II High Frequency transceiver for low power, (QRP) operation. Also included is a Henry 2K-3 HF amplifier, a Kenwood TS 700SP  2-Meter, (VHF) transceiver.

My newest hobbie is the one I am practicing at the present time, creating and maintaing my personal home page for publication on the Internet.   I really enjoy this and am constantly either redoing or updating my site.  This is a complete reconstruction of my site.
