- 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.
