About


I got into radio at 36 here in San Diego, starting out with GMRS before making the jump into ham radio. What pulled me in was the mix of technology, learning, and the simple fun of making real connections over the air.


Once I got interested, I started studying for my license and went down the rabbit hole of frequencies, propagation, gear, and operating practices. Since then, radio has become one of those hobbies that keeps opening new doors, there’s always something new to learn, build, or try.


Being in San Diego makes it even better. Between the local radio community and the amazing spot on the coast, it’s been a great place to get on the air and keep exploring what this hobby can do.
