About Me

Ron Schwartz
Licensed since 1972. Past calls include VE4OY and VE3MHI. My main interests are CW DX and contests, on HF and VHF. Having fun is more important to me than winning. I enjoy building towers and designing antennas. I sometimes play with QRP. I am a firm believer in lifelong learning. My hope is that others will enjoy following along as much as I enjoy writing for this blog.
