Of course, almost everything on this website is a result of my writing, both reasonably good along with some that’s either outdated or needing improvement. But I thought it would be a good idea to assemble some of the ham radio related writing that I’ve done over the years for other publications. Here’s the short gallery.

Six Meters, The Magic and Tragic Band — CQ Amateur Radio February 2021

That’s it to date.
