Rugged Computer Designer/Engineer by day and a software tester/reviewer by night. I love the outdoors, running, hiking, biking & camping. I also dabble in Productivity Software and Ham Radio.

Long time geek. Father of three. I have the smartest and most amazing wife ever.

Major storm and tornado warning moved through lower PA. No major damage. My Dad has a tree down and power is out in northern MD.

Storms moving east pretty quickly. May be that worst winds and tornado potential are near bows and kinks respectively, but a pretty solid line.

Severe storm warning to the western Beltway through 515p. Probably extended east shortly. #dcwx #mdwx #vawx

Day 1 of Kids Fest complete. I ran the sound system for singing part and that went smooth. Also, I shot the footage and edited this video. We do a video for each day, so the parents can get a snapshot of the day.

Yippee! Did my first 10m contact today! About 3583 km/2 226,37 mi from Austria to Saudi Arabia. Thanks Samir/HZ1SK!

Operating portable with my G90, a homebrew T2LT antenna on a Spiderbeam mast.

I also heard several DX stations in Uruguay, Guatemala, Chile! And also close by stations in Italy, France, Turkey ...

I love this solar circle.

I plan to ride the month of September, 100miles, to raise support/awareness to fight kids' cancer. If you would like to ride or donate to a great cause, please consider donating at the link below.

As a Father of 3, I cannot imagine what these kids, parents, and families must be going through. I have lost to many family members to cancer, let's fight back together! Boost if you feel inclined, thanks!

Anyone up to anything fun today?

I'm WFH today, so I'm looking forward to taking the Chewy on a nice walk today at lunch and hopefully another one this evening with the family.
