   Hello and welcome to my website. I've had an interest in Radio and Meteorology since I was 13 in the late 1960's living in the Chicago area. I reside on Cape Cod, Massachusetts and have been here since 1992 and storm chase from my Ford Explorer. I have chased storms since 1991. I've been a Trained SKYWARN Spotter with the Taunton, Massachusetts National Weather Service since 1997 and the Buffalo N.W.S. since 2002. I report severe weather to ham operators at the Boston, Buffalo and Binghamton National Weather Service Offices thru amateur radio 2 meter repeaters and cell phone. I attended classes to learn more about Tornadoes, Severe and Winter Weather. In the last 10 years I have purchased radio equipment to aid in communication.  My oldest tranceiver is an ICOM 735  worldwide HF radio, ICOM 706mk2g  and an ICOM 229H 2 meter radio. The Radio Shack Pro-2035 1,000 channel and Pro-2026 100 channel scanning radios are for monitoring National Weather Service Broadcasts and local emergencies. I also like to take Severe Weather photos. I  began reporting measurable snowfall during a Southern New England Nor'easter on February 28-29, 1999.

Take me to the Vehicle Installation Page...
