Bio:
* Husband, father of four children, & grandfather to three.
* Retired after my 30th year of teaching in public, private, and indigenous school settings.
* Avid shortwave DX'er (Yaesu FRG-7700) thanks to the influence of my father and grandfather
* Consider myself a Linux/open source activist always willing to help others discover the benefits of free and non-proprietary software.
* Enjoy gardening and have a small greenhouse where I grow the plants I start from seeds (mainly peppers & tomatoes).
* Part of my youth was spent in South & Central America and as a result I speak Spanish fluently.
* Dual citizen of USA & Canada (born in Nebraska to Canadian parents).
I have an ICOM 7300 with a OCF dipole antenna.
I'm running Linux Mint on a PC hooked up to my ICOM 7300.
I believe "life is people" and I try to be helpful to others.

| Finally got my Heltec V3, solar panel, & meshtastic antenna up. Its on my network with its own IP address via WiFi. I can issue commands to it from the command line in Linux or also configure via meshtastic app on phone. Working on linking to MQTT next. Learning as I go.
