ROOTED IN
SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA.
Welcome to my corner of amateur radio. I'm based in Moss Bluff, just north of Lake Charles, Louisiana, and enjoy building practical technology that helps local radio operators connect and stay informed.
Here you'll find projects I've built, regional networks I'm involved with, and useful resources from fellow hams across Southwest Louisiana.
