I got my Technician Class license in March 2007 & upgrade to Extra Class in April 2007. I have been exposed to many facets of this hobby. I am thoroughly enjoying myself on HF. My favorite modes are SSB, PSK31, FT8 and RTTY. I’m a member of PODXS 070 Club 070 #614. I also belong to European PSK Club EPC #2360, 10-10 International Net 10-10 # 75008, Digital Modes Club DMC #753, 30 Meter Digital Group 30MDG #250, Feld Hell Club FH #951 and British Amateur Radio Group BARTG #8098.
I have two sons who are also licensed Hams Paul (K6SH) and Martin (KI6LWH).
I work in the Silicon Valley for a software company (ICONIX), which invented a patented technology that enables consumers to quickly identify messages from legitimate senders, which combats email-based identity theft techniques, such as phishing.
I also have a vineyard here in Livermore planted in Merlot. The handcrafted Bordeaux style wine produced is sold via the internet at PICAZO Vineyards.
Other hobbies: I am an instrument rated multi-engine commercial pilot and fly a Cessna 310R. I fly R/C airplanes/helicopters and enjoy sailing the waters of San Francisco Bay on a Swan 48.
I reply to all QSL requests. No return postage needed. All QSO’s are confirmed via BURO, Direct, LoTW and www.eqsl.cc (AG). Hope to work you on the Bands!
73 for now...
