Income to support my lifestyle and that of my family comes from the Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection, Air and Marine Operations, P-3 Operations Center West, Corpus Christi, Texas. Whew what a mouthfull!

Amateur radio hardware consists of several Yaesu systems, Radio Shack HTX 242 and ADI two meter rig. Since moving to Bandera County, TX I've been busy clearing land, finishing the house, restoring a classic Ford tractor and other projects prepping things for my easy life in retirement! I have acquired enough ROHN 25 tower sections to put up 170'. The antenna farm is a fledgling but growing monster.

Since my original input I've also begun raising pedigree horses.  Look up Gypsy Vanner for more detailed information on the breed.  This requires fencing, stables, training and a host of other support to do it right.  With limited time it still seems to all get done.

I'm still learning Visual Basic, PHP, APACHE, and MySQL, and more advanced web design for starters. Of course this is part and parcel of picking up that Extra study guide.

I hope to soon have the updated Intertie, Inc. web site up and running.  Check out http://www.intertie.org. At some point it'll change for the better.
