Also, I'll soon be receiving a few VHF/UHF outdoor antennas. Two of those antennas will be used by my repeater and the third antenna will be in use by my Yaesu handheld. I'll post more information about the antennas once I receive them and set them up.

February 16, 2021:
Big update to the VHF/UHF and also the HF part of the "About" section. I'm still planning on getting the pictures updated in the gallery, but I've been lazy. I'll get those pictures updated whenever I can.

February 6, 2021:
My hub now has an unofficial DMR talkgroup! See the "Repeater & Hub" page for more information. Also, in an earlier announcement, I said I would incorporate the owl into my logo design... I decided against doing that, because it will be too much work, but my updated QSL cards do contain a reference to my "Old Mother Owl" handle.

January 27, 2021: I'm now accepting QSL card requests via Postal Mail! I'm still accepting QSL card requests via Email. See my "About" page for more information.

Yay! I got a 4 digit allstar node number now! With that, I have created a hub. See "About" for information. A new page has been created with information about how to access my repeater and hub so you don't have to look for it in my about page.

January 8, 2021:
A while back, I came up with some neat phonetics for the last 3 letters of my callsign and I'll be incorporating that into the logo and website when I have time. The phonetics are "Old Mother Owl". Also, changes have been made to my nodes. See "About" for information.

Dec 22, 2020
Changes are coming, the website will be updated ASAP.
Welcome!

This is both my personal and my amateur radio site.

This website is currently under construction, therefore things will be messy, ugly & incomplete until I finish it.

​I will also be adding more content to this website when I can, so stay tuned.

Website updated September 16, 2023
