Well, I guess more info about me, I like of making contacts and POTA hunting, experimenting with digital modes, and ragchewing on said digital modes! I also love teaching new people this hobby as well. And again, I'm a total computer nerd. I love Linux, Raspberry Pis, network infrastructure, and much more.

Some Life Story Stuff:
In my early teens, I discovered shortwave radio through a YouTube channel called The Modern Rouge and was immediately captivated. I loved the idea of being able to communicate across the globe using just radio waves, though I didn't go for my license or into the hobby just yet.

Life got busy in high school and was builled a lot and never made much of any friends irl, developed social anxiety and other mental related anxiety stuff but I never lost my curiosity about ham radio. In 2023, I decided it was the year I'd finally go for my license. After months of studying, I passed my Technician exam in February, followed by taking the General Exam in May.


When I'm not on the radio, you can usually find me working on my other big passions - computers and technology. I'm completely self-taught and love playing with Linux, building networks, and tackling new projects to expand my skills. I love that ham radio merges my interests in communication and technology. It's the perfect hobby for continual learning.

QSL Info & QSL CARDS INFO:

I do not currently have physical QSL cards. I'm sorry about this but am looking into it. If you send a QSL card to me, it would be for my own collection and display. I may eventually send out QSL cards in the future, but please do not expect a return. I apologize for any inconvenience. Eventually, I want to get actual cards, but I have handwriting issues and need to consider other factors first.

For QSL, I QSL via LOTW, QRZCQ, Clublog soon once I figure it out and EQSL. I will not log to QRZ due to the increased harassment on the platform. As such my email is not public.

If you need to contact me, feel free to message me on QRZCQ or via my email listed on HamQTH.

Shortwave reports are always welcomed! Feel free to send me a message as well!
