This website is a work in progress and I would welcome your suggestions.

The "Audio Clips" section of this site contains contains some audio tests by me and some on-the-air recordings from QSO's with me. If you would like to hear what your station actually sounds like at "the end of the line" or if you would like to hear the effect of some changes (different microphones, antennas, audio settings, etc); I'll record it, post it on this site, and you can hear it for yourself.  If you would like to set up a schedule with me, send me an email.  I'm on all HF bands except 160.

Have you ever heard, on 75 or 160 meters, a bunch of static crashes from lightning and wondered where the storm was? Click on the "Thunderstorm Map" button below and you can see a real-time display of all the thunderstorms in the Country.
