Interests

Radio

One of many passions is radio. I don’t get on the air as much as I’d like to, but when I do, I like listening. I use various Recievers from Radio Shack to AOR scanners. My favorite at the moment is possibly the Yaesu VX-2. Its small design lends itself well to being a very portable setup for listening to local repeaters and even shortwave. The stock antenna works very well were I am, and I Generally don’t have a need (yet) for using it with something larger like a Nagoya. Listed below is some of the radios I use.

• Yaesu FT897
• Yaesu FT817ND
• McHF 926+
• Kenwood TR9000

APRS is mostly used these days for transmitting location data to other radio operators. You can find me easily on the APRS.FI website (callsign G3FRD)

Web Design

Making the internet a better place is not just a job, it’s also a hobby. I like tweaking and changing things for the better and that includes the web.
