This is my general page. My hobbies and interest are :

Amature radio - I belong to the CRA and KCRA repeater groups.

Eqso , ECHOLINK and WiresII
are a way to "Work the World" with your HT.
Several nice nets with check-ins from around the Globe.

Astronomy - The nicest amateur facility in NJ ,to my knowledge is NJAA.

We humans live on the 3rd rock from our local star, the Sun.

Our Solar system is on the outskirts of a Galaxy we call the Milky Way.

Our Galaxy is one of about 25 known as
"the Local Group".

One of the other Galaxies in our local group, the Andromeda Galaxy is on a collision course with the Milky Way and will de/reform both Galaxies when it occurs.

Our Local group is one of billions of clusters and supreclusters of Galaxies that make up the observable Universe. Hubble Deep Field Projectgives an idea of this.

The Moon is the only celestial body man has physically walked on.

Sailing - In the past I crewed on the Schooner Adirondack . She sails from Pier 62 (near 23rd st and the Hudson River) in New York City. Modeled after a "Pilot boat" she is fast and a lot of fun.

Satellites - I started in armature radio largely because of the Fleet of Satellites the amateur community has in orbit. If you want to play with Satellites and you are not a government this is the way to go.

- I use both "STSPLUS" and "Nova" for satellite tracking. They each have attributes. (I like it when Nova "Tells me " a bird is rising or setting ..... OK, I like it when my computer talks to me :-)

You can watch many satellites as they pass over head. Go to Heavens-Above. there you can produce listings for ISS, Iridium, and other birds. Which works out great if you are "in the field".

Under Sea Habitats - Inner Space is an interesting place to live also....The Marine Resources Development Foundation in Key Largo Florida has several undersea habitats. Two friends and I took part in a study on blood gases in one of their habitats for a couple of days. Every thing is delivered from topside in pressure cookers to keep things dry.(including pizza)..... Living undersea is a "gas"....... ;-)

The worlds first undersea hotel Jules' Undersea Lodge is run by a sister orginazation.

One Day I want to work, (call using Ham radio) the ISS or the Shuttle from an undersea habitat...You have to have goals in life..... ;-)

Skydiving - As far as I'm concerned Skydiving is the Best Adrenalin Rush you can legally get..... some time in the future I will complete my AFF. But for right now life has other priorities..... :-(

I did my first dives in Fla. at Deland a great DZ and Titusville a DZ- which overlooks the Cape.
The VAB at Kennedy looks like a little sugar cube from 12,400 ft.
Another nice DZ is Blue sky ranch in Gardner, NY.
