Hi.  My name is Dick and I am a licensed Amateur Radio Operator.  My Amateur Radio callsign is K1VRA.  I live in Rockport, MA, which is located north of Boston on Cape Ann (also known as Massachusetts' "other" cape).  I am on the Board of Directors of the Cape Ann Amateur Radio Association in Gloucester, MA.

Here you will find some Amateur-Radio-Related items, as well as lots of other stuff that interests me.  I figured hey - I'm a "Ham" and it interests me so why wouldn't it interest other like-minded people, too?  You be the judge.

In the event you found yourself here instead of another page you might have been looking for, you may have been re-directed because of a missing document (otherwise known in "webspeak" as an ERROR 404), and I KNOW you don't need to see another useless "Not Found" message.  I figured, "What the heck; if what you were looking for has moved, no longer exists, or was the result of following an out-dated link in a search engine (that happens a lot), you would probably need to come here to find it anyway."  I just saved you the trouble of looking.  You're welcome.  Besides, I didn't feel like writing a separate ERROR 404 page and, even if I did, it just would've pointed you back here, so what would be the point?

Anyway, if that's what just happened to you, please just look around and you'll probably find what you were looking for, maybe in a different location.  The search engines will find it again soon.  I know, I know, it's bad form to just move stuff around like that during a redesign but, if the stuff was fluff, I probably just dropped it and you won't find it anyway; if it was useful (or got a lotta traffic) I kept it around here somewhere.  Think of it as an adventure. 

Welcome to my website.  I hope you find it interesting, entertaining, or useful.  There's a lot of neat stuff here, and many of the links will take you off-site.  Bookmark me so you can return, and you can always use your browser's "back" button to return here, too.  If you would like to know more about something you found here, please don't hesitate to send email.  And if you think something's broken, let me know about that, too.  Please don't forget to tell me which browser & version# you are using - it helps me to help you.  Thanks.

73 - Dick.
