Hello,
I’m RC, N5ORO
Welcome to my Amateur (Ham) Radio pages & links.
I hold an Extra Class license, and I am passionate about older rigs, ‘home-brew’ anything, and antennas.
I hope you can find something here to help you in your Ham Radio Adventures!
73 & Thanks for joining me!

I have only recently begun using QRZ’s Log Book feature. I is neat, and will even be better when I get the hang of it. 😉

After a long sabbatical, I’m back at it! This site is a work in progress…so bear with me. 🙂
I have been spending a lot of time researching ‘stealth’ antenna designs, and I am happy to report, with some success.
I had long ago given up on ever getting on “Top Band” (160 Meters). At least until I ran across a Helically Wound Vertical (HWV) design by K6MM. I plan to build it and test it in the next few days.
I will report back with my opinion of how well it works for me. You can find it on my Antenna Stuff page.
Until then: 73 & God Bless!
