While I am an amateur radio operator, I am just a Technician Class, and prefer the monitoring side of the radio hobby over the active "contact" making side of the hobby. Once upon a time, I enjoyed going to airshows, but since our government decided that aviation enthusiasts and radio hobbyists are terrorist threats, I have lost interest. I simply got tired of being looked at and treated as if I was a security threat just because I liked taking photos of aircraft and listening to them on a scanner at the same time. Radio Monitoring is my main hobby. Most of my monitoring is VHF/UHF with an emphasis on Military Aviation Communications, Federal Communications, Fire/Rescue Communications, and Search and Rescue Communications. Additionally, I am a motorsports fan. I enjoy auto racing of many different types, from Formula 1 to Sports Cars to NASCAR. Be it the local short track or the professionals on the most prominent tracks, I enjoy it all. Each form of racing has its own allure and excitement. If I'm not playing with the radios, I can usually be found in front of the TV watching a race. It's not unusual to find me doing them both at the same time!
