I've turned our Family Home Page into the Base Page for all 3 of us. From there you can visit Kat's site or Carol's Bazaar of Books or Phil's Conglomeration of Junk , for which this is the home page. You can also see info common to our family, like pix of our EXTENDED families, vacations, & typical family stuff.

I hope to start collecting useful info here. Stuff like technology, consumer facts and caveats, and personal opinions and peeves (and I've got a few...). Please stop back from time to time to see what's changed.

My Back Pages started as a site about our trip back East and now has more stuff from my younger days, including The Big 12, WHY Radio and the infamous BallRoom.

My Business: Giant Step Communications

My Christmas List: OK, I know it looks awfully vain, but you never know, and it got me a Yaesu FT-857D ham radio in 2007!

Ham Radio: I hold US Extra Class license AF6AV. I have an Icom 746Pro at the shack feeding a G5RV wire antenna, and I have an Icom IC-7000 (with optional extension kit) feeding an AH-4 tuner and a 12ft whip on the roofrack of my Tahoe. I'm randomly experimenting w/ streaming myself via webcam when operating mobile. Click the Ham Radio link in the Nav Bar for more.
