KE9V is my amateur (ham) radio call sign that also serves as a short, unique domain name. Licensed and active continuously since 1977, I’ve explored many of the interesting and unique facets of radio afforded by this hobby – from spark to space!

This is my personal blog and I’ve been pitching words at this wall for more than twenty years. It’s part of something you may find described as the personal web, the small web, the indie web, maybe even the web revival. They’re all sort of separate, but overlap significantly and many times, the terms are used almost interchangeably.

I pay for everything. Hosting the server, maintaining the domain, all of it. It’s my site so I write whatever strikes my fancy. It’s very plain and simple. No cookies, no tracking, oh, and I don’t do comments or flashy graphics. Plus, there are no adverts. You’re welcome!

Technical Details ⁍ The site is powered by Linode running a recent version of Ubuntu. All of the content is written using plain-text formatted with Markdown and processed using Jekyll, a static site generator that outputs HTML. Light CSS styling provides a common look and feel between various pages and components. A full RSS feed is provided and tech-savvy readers will make good use of it.
