Introduction Hello.
My name is Rick Tressler and my callsign is WA3UOO, formerly K8SV, AA8VQ. Welcome to my ham radio website. This is something
I've been wanting to do for at least 10 years, but for many reasons, it has been simply put off. One of which is
simply taking the time to work on it. My XYL, Maggie and I live in Columbus, Ohio. I am originally from Baltimore, MD and
moved here for my job in July 1991. Back in Maryland, I was WN3UOO, then upgraded to General a couple years later which changed
the call to WA3UOO. I kept that callsign for many years until I finally upgraded to the Amateur Extra. The automatic callsign
given was AA8VQ. I didn't like it; no good for CW. So, I got a vanity call, K8SV which works much better on CW. Well, now
I am back to being WA3UOO. Last time I am changing callsigns - really.
I've been continuously licensed since 1973 and, for the most part, have remained
active for nearly the entire time. I don't get on the radio as much as I would like. Between a job that demands nearly 6 months
of travel a year, other hobbies and activities around the house with the XYL, there's not much time for getting on HF.
Feel free to poke around the site. This site was originally set up in May 2007. I hope to add more stuff
to make it enjoyable and useful for both hams and non-hams alike. If you have any suggestions or comments, drop me an email
at rick@ricktressler.com. -Thanks!
