Remote Exams
I’m an Accredited Examiner for the Amateur Radio Service in Canada and the USA. Yes, I can give you a remote exam.
Creative Writing, Podcasts and Presentations
Every once in a while I’ll post an article about my Field Operating adventures and things I learned with each one. You can find them on QRPer.com.
You’ll find me on the Ham Radio Workbench Podcast along with a group of fine radio amateurs – listen in!
Once upon a time I was interviewed about my involvement in Ham Radio by Eric Guth 4Z1UG of the QSO Today Podcast.
Periodically I talk about Ham Radio stuff and someone presses the record button or writes it down.
Auxcomm, Emcomm and ARES
I was the lead for the Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES/Auxcomm) response in High River Alberta in 2013 during the Southern Alberta Floods, one of Canada’s largest natural disasters.
What I’m up to
I am continually learning about repeater maintenance and digging deeper into Digital Modes and APRS.
I’m the guy who did the graphics layout for the last two RAC Band Plan charts just like this one.
