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!

I’ve been blogging about ham radio in this space for more than twenty-years. These days its morphed into more of a diary, an almost daily record of my adventures in radio. Deep archives? Nope. I regularly clean and delete. I don’t do comments or flashy graphics. I like simple text in black and white. Plus, there are no adverts. You’re welcome!
