Projects

Some of you may know that I am an avid Amateur Radio operator. My callsign is K9RE. It is a fascinating hobby, providing fertile ground for many other topics for exploration. Antennas are one of many areas of interest to me. It is often said that the most important determiner of station performance is the quality of the antenna system. If you have a poor antenna, even the best equipment, whether home made or commercially made, will not perform to its maximum capabilities.

In this section I will share some of my projects and what the results were. Maybe you will benefit from my experiences and be motivated to try some of your own experiments.
