I'm an advanced licensed amateur radio operator. I am into HF operations worldwide DX radio contacts and contesting. Involved in emergency operations with organizations such as Satern (Salvation Army Emergency Radio Network) I am an accredited Amateur Radio examiner on the behalf of Industry Canada.
I enjoy music and play some guitar for a hobby. Interested in landscape design mostly ponds and waterfall, koi fish. I happen to do this kind of thing well making a living. Self-employed with a Landscape and Maintenance business.

I like lots of music but must say there is special place in my heart for good acoustic music. I enjoy a wide range of artists some of my favourites would be: Gordon Lightfoot, Blue Rodeo, Hemingway Corner (where are they hiding?), Gathering Field, Bill Deasy, Barenaked Ladies, Johnny Cash, Stabilo, and Jann Arden a Canadian legend to name a few.

Movies:

Too many to list, more of a news buff these days ..CNN.

CNN...some reality shows that the xyl likes me to watch with her.

Books:

"The Shepherd" by Frederick Forsyth. My qsl radio card is based on this novel. There was a very famous Canadian reading of this story on CBC by the late Alan Maitland. I can remember sitting by the radio as a boy listening to this tale with my late father. I have posted this at putfile so you may also enjoy it.
