KA2BQE is the call sign of Brian Riley. I live in Underhill Center,
Vermont, which is in the northern region about 16 miles East of
Burlington and just about a mile from the summit of Mount Mansfield.
My home QTH is a log cabin part way up the mountain. My tower stands
at over 1600 feet above sea level. I built the cabin myself from akit
and it is totally electrically independent, and only use a small amount
of liquid propane for the gas grill and emergency backup heating.
I like to hike and walk in the woods with my dog, Hawk, a 110 pound
Timberwolf/German Shepard hybrid. I do a lot of photography with one
of my best subjects being the antics Hawk and my 6 pound cat Fafhrd
playing with each other. I rag chew on 10 meters (my CW is abominable,
I may be a Tech forever, though I do have some hopes!) and play with my
computers.
I believe that packet radio is one of the greatest things that has
happened to the hobby, not as an end in itself but as a tool for hams
to expand the horizins of their communications. I see packet as a place
to exchange ideas on life and living in addition to the mundane
technical oriented materials.
