Randy's Interests Page

Many of my friends want to get me into Golf...  Which of the following do I want to give up???

Astronomy:  My newest endevor.  See my New Images page for some of my latest CCD images.

Computing: I currently have 4 PCs in my shack that are networked together.  One gathers weather info from my Heathkit Weather Machine.   One is for motion video editing with Fast Video Machine software.  Another is on all of the time for general computing and Internet browsing.  The last is my Notebook PC used with my telescope in the field.

Watersports: We all enjoy boating.  From bay or off-shore fishing to water skiing, count us in.

Audio/Video: Home theater is great.  I like to do digital video editing with my tapes.

Ham Radio: I am an Advanced Radio Operator.   My call is N5PTO.  I've enjoyed HF, VHF, UHF, and Satellite Operations.  Our "last" tornado took out my 7 element HF beam and stuck it through my roof as it twisted my tower into a pretzel.  I've replaced all but the satellite stuff and HF antennae.
