I’ve been an amateur radio operator since 2005, although my interest in electronics and communications goes back farther than that. Throughout my teenage years, I read every electronics and amateur radio book I could get my hands on. Eventually, when I enlisted in the U.S. Army, that led to my job as an Air Traffic Control Equipment Repairer. With the exception of about two years in the late twenty-aughts, I’ve done that ever since. Along the way, I did eventually get the Amateur Radio license I’d wanted for so long, and with several years as a tech in the army, I went straight to the Extra ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At work, I maintain radars, communications systems, and navigational aids, and a lot of automation systems related to them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At home, I work on my amateur radio equipment, build new projects, refurbish old ones, work a lot of radio, and help out newer hams when I can. That’s what this blog is about: talking about radio, talking about technical topics, and teaching when I can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
