| Introduction | Been into the Radio Hobby for over 40 yrs since I was a teenager,and was introduced to the Hobby through my older Brother Bob KC6AOH,and my Dad,who showed me the many old RTTY machines and receivers he used at the office, I was about 10 yrs old.I always wondered about the way signals traveled from point A to point B. He use to tear apart and rebuild things in electronics and was a member of OES,Office of emergency services in Sacramento,California and at times in SF. Enjoy DX chasing(and been on the receiving end as VQ9LF,DU1 and DU3/n6hpx). Digital PSK31,JT65HF,and visiting Radio Sites, like those in Guam,Japan,Hawaii and the Main portions of the USA. I have owned alot of Radio's,Yaesu's,Drake's,Grundigs,Sangean,Sony,and the old Panasonic RF2900. And played with many over the years,and also operated from places like Diego Garcia,Midway,Guam and in my Homes in the Philippines as a DU3/n6hpx, and DU1/n6hpx. |
| Interests | Ham Radio Operator, Shortwave, Computers, also chase antenna farms, like AWR, KTWR .Have seen at least 10 of these in the Pacific.I also travel for a living and when possible spend my extra time operating or listening to Ham and Shortwave. |
| Favorite Movies | I mostly like Science programs but when I do watch TV its usually comedy or action movies, even international ones, like Dolphy, Abbott and Costello's who's on first.One ovie was out a few years ago was called Frequency which was an excellent movie but the way Hams operate is different you need to sit with Hams to see what really goes on. |
| Favorite Music | I am mixed in my music and listen to much like Rock and Classical Music, like Beethoven and Chopin. My family is from the Philippines and I listen to Tagalog Music and others. |
| Favorite Books | RSGB Antenna Book ARRL Digital Modes ARRL Radio Amatuer Handbook CQ Reflections 2 and 3 Magazines: CQ Popular communications QST Monitoring times CQ Vhf |
How is an ankle unlike a consequence?
A popular question is can you show me everything you know. I love that but sometimes it takes the fun out of learning. In a old radio show "experience is the best teacher" or join a group or club to learn more. Also got a signal yet as if Shortwave or Ham has any relations to cellphones.
