Welcome to k2zs.com
This web site is just my space on the web, feel free to look around.
If you're interested in a solution for
antenna restrictions
you should check out my
indoor hf stealth antenna page. It has details on
how I have been able to log over 1400 QSO's in 14 months with nothing more than an indoor wire
loop and about 75 watts. It is possible to get your DXCC award living with antenna restrictions. For a look at what I do on VHF visit my

As an amateur radio operator I dabble in many technical fields. Web design is another hobby of
mine that started when the radio club that I am a member of needed a web site. I created our first
web site around 1992 and the latest version can be found at
www.rdxa.com .
Other web sites that I have created:
- www.nyqp.org was started in
preparation of the first New York QSO Party in many years. Our club, the Rochester DX Association, inc., became the sponsors in response
to the ARRL's call for the year of the QSO party.
- www.tgcdesign.com -
is another domain that I own. It is mainly used as a testing server while creating sites.
-
www.home-automation-ideas.com - is a new project that I have started that features ideas for DIY home automation ideas and products.
