Welcome to my site! All are welcome and particularly
those visitors interested in Ham Radio, MODEL
RAILROADING and XBOX 360 GAMES. I do my best to
keep all the links current. I welcome your feedback!
I recently added a web cam (see PrairieTrains) and Twitter
  • An introduction to my ham
    shack and train layout
  • A bit about me and my
    family
  • Ham Radio and Model
    Railroad Activities and
    photos
  • Interesting LINKS for you
    to explore
  • I play with Xbox 360 Games
  • I STILL play with Trains!
Overview

I REALLY enjoy my hobbies -- "HAM" Radio and Model Railroading (MRR). There is
something magical about talking to folks around the world using equipment and antennas
that (at times) I've built myself and running trains on a layout that I am building myself. I
thought the best way to demonstrate my enthusiasm for my hobbies was to develop a
website. I hope this site will help newcomers to one or both of my hobbies to grasp the
amazement I feel. In addition, my "contacts - QSL's) and fellow MRR's have an
opportunity to meet me and my exploits. Also, I hope the site will show you how much
fun model railroading and ham radio can be. So sit back and jump right in. You are MOST
welcome!

Whether active duty, retired, or
national guard or reserve - is
someone who, at one point in his or
her life, wrote a blank check made
payable to "The United States of
America," for an amount of 'up to
and including my life.'

That is honor, and there are way too
many people in this country who no
longer understand it.   Author
