An anomaly I could not understand in California was the high percentage and frequency of ham radio operators discussing the weather. Though I never participated on this net. On one local net, every day, every Ham would give a weather report. Sometimes they’ve have 30 check-ins. And because many of the Hams lived in the
Until I get another tower up at our new location, I erected my all band vertical (minimally elevated). I was able to answer Al’s CQ DX from Italy. This guy’s moving fast thru the airway, that’s for sure. Chow! #HamRadio #CQDX
Hearing a Ham call CQ mobile on HF is not common for me, and since this was a ‘7’ station, I answered her call. After listening further, it’s clear Michelle (KI7PON) was working a ‘parks on the air’ event with her “YL” (Tim – KD7WD), whereas hams work High Frequency from either a portable rig
I used to belong to the SATERN group on 20 meters, and for a brief season held a leadership position with the San Bernardino facility. But when I learned that this “Christian” organization in San Bernardino knowingly allowed homosexuals as members, and even in leadership, I resigned. Nonetheless, today I found Warren (a previous SATERN
This is what police officers hear on the ground while the air unit is gathering intelligence from high in the sky. The reason I cannot hear the transmissions of the ground units, id I’m too far away, but close enough for the antenna on my vehicle to get a line of site with the air

On this beautiful Saturday, I went 28 nautical miles out to sea, which placed me about 3 miles southwest of the Santa Catalina Islands. Before this trip, I topped off my fuel tank, and by 0415 I was launched. While trolling in the dark from the back bay launching ramp through the Newport Harbor, I
Since this web site and domain no longer belongs to a 501c3 non-profit, it is now my page. Therefore along with Christian related posts, I will be personalizing this page, along with including more of my outdoorsman activities. Regretfully someone stole my GoPro camera a few weeks ago. So this video was captured while holding
In this episode, I briefly speak about a Pastor that goes against the establishment. Pastor Steve Richardson of Faith Presbyterian Church, writes an open letter to the church, regarding their church closing his church. I then talk about my recent camping – RVing trip, and the importance of having Ham Radio where there is no
After spending a week reviewing many articles, videos, and Podcasts from various ‘professing’ Christians regarding the Chick-fil-A saga, I again saw nothing but compromise, and a lack of discernment. But in this Podcast I reveal that the Salvation Army is pro homosexual, including gay marriage. I also share some experiences as a police officer, and
Once I obtained my ‘General’ FCC license (K2PTL) I was eager to find some Christian Nets (ham talk radio) on High Frequency, but sadly most of them engage in false teaching, easy believism, a watered down Gospel, and/or the unbiblical “accept Jesus” to go to heaven blasphemy. But today I found some decent Bible studies
