Sports that I really enjoy as a fan and a participant are figure skating and auto racing. Both involve the practical application of physics: you know, that subject many of us took in high school with certain knowledge that it would never apply to anything in our lives!

Amatuer Radio is more than a just a hobby! My station, KD0HII went on the air in May of 2009. You can learn more about the hobby on the ARRL web site. I spend most of my time on 10 meters along with regular contacts on the W0IW repeater located north of Des Moines, Iowa.
