Welcome to my Home Page (best viewed at 1024x768). I have a few "home brew" antennas here as well as some links below to other sites that may be of interest to the amateur builder/experimenter. I hope you find something of value here. Please send me any comments or suggestions to at (insert my callsigne here)@amsat.org.

If you would like some information on amateur radio operation, please visit the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) for an introduction to this wonderful international fraternity. If you would like information on amateur satellite operation, please visit the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation of North America (AMSAT-NA) for the latest in news and software. If you are new to amateur satellites, here is an introduction to the "EasySats" (slightly dated, but still useful). If you are wondering what kind of antenna(s) you might want or need, please read this introduction to amateur satellite antennas and this LEO satellite antenna cost/benefit analysis.

I (used to) live in Houston, Texas; about 90 km from the Gulf of Mexico ( UPDATE: I am no longer in Darwin, NT, Australia, operating as VK8OE, but have now moved to London, England, operating as M0GOE (APRS). My QTH in Houston was in a neighborhood with "deed restrictions," outlawing antennas of any kind. My response to this situation was to install "low visability" antennae that are hidden from the street and do not extend above my roof line. Please see my various antennas for examples.
