For over 30 years WB5DYG (aka Ron) has enjoyed the wonders of radio. From the early beginnings in 1971 using radios filled with vacuum tubes to today's high tech microprocessor controlled pocket sized powerhouses, radio continues to be a never ending adventure.

The radio hobby is filled with things old and new to enjoy, a spectrum full of things to listen to, and friends around the world to talk with.
