Bio
I was always interested in electronics, how they worked, and the different ways that they could do things. My dad worked on TV's and was into HAM, CB radios, etc. He was also a WWII Veteran and worked on the Norden Bombsite. Guess the apple didn't fall far from the tree. I was into model rocketry, I added Line-control, then RC aircraft. I still fly drones and my A-10. I also run a radio station.
