About Me
My name is Todd Ehlers. Glad to meet you!
I operate an amateur radio station from my home in the countryside near the small town of Riesel, Texas. My top interest in ham radio is CW operation. I enjoy contesting, DX hunting, and POTA.
I do not like labels and try to limit their use when describing who I am. This is especially true when someone asks, "What do you do?"
Here's my answer:
I try to focus on enjoying my existence as a Homo sapiens on Earth. I enjoy viewing the night sky with the naked eye in the dark sky regions of Texas. I find great fulfillment engaging with the physical world. Outside of my radio hobby, my time is filled by increasing soil organic matter, producing delicious beef, tending to Apis mellifera, and monitoring rangeland for the benefit of wildlife. I enjoy number crunching and scratch that itch by analyzing real estate investment opportunities and researching financial markets. I read books.
But.... above all of that, my attention and life's focus is on my wonderful partner in life, Katherine, and our two beautiful children. How I became so fortunate to know and enjoy their presence is beyond my comprehension.
Amateur radio operators should avoid discussions of religion and politics. In that light, I will simply say I am a spiritual person.
