Hi, I’m Chris. KI6CR
I’m a licensed amateur radio operator based in Southern California. I enjoy Summits on the Air, satellite operations, and am a ‘newish’ CW op.
The projects on this site all started as things I built for myself. It didn’t take long to realize others would benefit from them too. Everything here is a direct result of wanting to share these tools to advance and enhance the hobby for all radio amateurs.
