An engineering student with a passion for Cold War history, electronics, amateur radio, outdoorsmanship, and a whole lotta other stuff.
A little about me.
Who?
My name is Skylar Culek (NQ9Z), an undergraduate student at the University of Wisconsin - Madison studying Civil Engineering. At the university, I lead the Badger Amateur Radio Society (W9YT), which serves as my primary special interest and passtime through the year. As you might be able to tell from the site name, I have quite a large interest in amateur radio, operating my own station at home (an IC-756) or on the go (an X6100) whenever I get the chance. Outside of radio, I spend quite some time working in and around construction (my day job is in project management and construction engineering for a heavy civil company) with an emphasis on concrete paving, although I do have specific interests and experience in surveying, concrete removals, and excavation/earthworks.
One other aspect of my life this site will capture is a long-standing facination I've had with Cold War electronic systems and infrastructure, of which I consider myself something of an amateur historian.
What?
- RF systems
- Electronics projects
- Heavy civil construction & construction surveying
- Cold War history
There's me atop a tower doing some repair work on an HF Yagi!
