About This Blog

This blog documents my amateur radio adventures, with a focus on POTA activations, QRP operating techniques, antenna experiments, and radio software development. All content is based on first-hand experience from my actual operations in the field.

As a software developer by profession (CTO & Co-founder at Workshop), I also write about the intersection of amateur radio and technology, including logging software, digital modes, and automation.
