Uses

The gear and tools I actually reach for. Nothing fancy, just the stuff that’s earned a spot.

Radio

I adore Elecraft gear. They’re close by (Watsonville, about an hour and a half from me) and everything they make just works.

• Elecraft K3, my base station
• Elecraft KX2, which I take out for POTA and reach for the most
• Chelegance MC-750 vertical antenna
• A Zippy paddle I printed myself

Workshop

Everything in here is on wheels. Can’t get enough wheels.

• Festool track saw
• DeWalt jobsite saw
• Ridgid miter saw

Homelab

• UniFi gear (a UDM Pro and some in-wall APs)
• An Intel NUC doing most of the actual work
• A couple of USB hard drives holding it all together

Software

• An M4 MacBook Air
• Vim, always
• herdr
• Claude Code
• Rust for most of what I build
• Vercel and GitHub to ship it
