NOTE FROM THE SITE AUTHOR
or, skip the monologue and go right to
e-mail: ND2X or NE0M.
|
I put this site together for KB6KQ for two primary reasons. #1, Norm made me feel sorry for
him because so many people (including me) were asking him if he had a web site and he had
to keep saying no and making excuses why not. #2, he bribed me with promises of special
prices on some of his antennas. I don't know whether #2's ever going to happen, but per #1,
I'm really gullible, and Norm's a really nice guy (or a great actor over the phone). Besides,
he makes GREAT antennas. So, I went ahead and did it just so he couldn't complain any more
about not having a presence on the web. Besides, Norm DID pay for the server, site set-up
and domain name registration (way too much temptation for a truly amateur web site builder
to pass up)!
The fact that Norm uses cheap labor, however, doesn't mean we don't want this site to be
done right! Any comments, suggestions or queries from you, the people who view the site,
would be very welcome, especially corrections (it's not my spelling that's bad, it's my
typing - hihi)! Also, any of you who are REAL programmers out there will find an eager
student if you contact me with respect to HTML programming; I write HTML as a hobby, using
wordpad, and there are lots of tricks you REAL guys have discovered over time which I, no
doubt, could use, HTML Goodies website
notwithstanding! Take the note you see at the end of the
"e-mail norm" page, for example; am I doing something wrong,
or is this caused by a "microsoft feature"?

use your normal e-mail and address your message to "nd2x@arrl.net"
- I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

The site graphics were done by my daughter, Jennifer, NE0M. Permit me to brag on her a bit:
Between the holidays of Christmas and New Year's Day, 1983, at the age of 11 years, 3 months,
she went to the Denver, CO, FCC testing site and upgraded her 3 year old Novice license to
Extra Class, all in that one day, including the 20wpm code test. Her picture as an 11 year
old appears on page 59 of March, 1984 QST as a result. The rest of the family followed suit
and the XYL and the other four harmonics ultimately earned their HAM licenses. NE0M graduated
from Eastern New Mexico University, where she learned her web page and graphics skills, and
currently lives in New Mexico with her husband who is, even as you read this, contemplating
working toward his HAM license. If you would like to contact NE0M about the site graphics
(perhaps to have her make some for YOUR site),
click here to send her an e-mail. If you have
an uncooperative machine (as above), use your normal e-mail program, and send a message
referencing this site to "laydeej242@yahoo.com".
