I'm a constant experimenter, and have a lust for learning. Upon being given an old car, I started to learn how to rebuild engines, interiors, and perform more than routine maintenance. I've yet to tackle body and paint, but give me time. (and a place).
I collect oldies songs, restoring them from records to digital recordings. I also collect recordings of old radio stations. Hobbies also include building MW, HF, VHF, and UHF RF components and transmitters, antenna system, as well as PCB/CAD electronic circuits.
I've been in the broadcasting media since April 1968, and have played around with radios and electronics since I was seven. I look for knowledge, seek the truth, and open my mind to the unknown.

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
For human civilization to be so arogant as to think we are the only forms of life is like saying there are no races upon the earth. I run SETI on the hope that someday, somewhere, some contact will be made with a soul who will be able to provide us with the wisdom, perhaps the motivation, to clean up our planet and put aside the petty sandbox battles over whos God is better, or which theological thought is the purest.
At times I wonder if, perhaps, life forms recognize that we are looking for them, and they have chosen not to avail themselves to us in the same way we may choose not to play with a child's wooden blocks, as it does nothing to amuse or educate us. And dare I say that they may be disgusted with some of our behavior?
I think the (SETI) project is one of value to all of us, as traditional science would not let us know of contacts made. It is our place in the universe to seek knowledge and learn more to better ourselves. What better way than to work with a project that has the potential for meeting a new neighbor.
