Dale's Hobby Page

Hi, my name is Dale. As you can see by the title of this webpage. *L* My wife designed it for me. She does a great job, don't you think so?
I'm 37 yrs old, been married for almost 15 yrs and have three kids. A girl 16 and 1/2 and one boy 6 and 1/2 and one boy 2 and 1/2.
I work as a plumber/pipefitter and am a member of the United Association L.U. #776 of Lima, Ohio.

I have many hobbies,and enjoy spening time with my family too. I am a amatuer radio operator (Ham Radio)and spend alot of time with that. Right now I run on an Icom 756, or run an ole Drake B line I just picked up recently. am now a member of the Lima Astronomical Society. I am fairly new to astronomy and by far a rookie, but have always loved to look at the stars. I have a pair of 10x50 binoculars now and by the way you can find deals at garage sales! I found a 2.4" refractor telescope that normally sells for $300.00+ and bought it for $85.00. It had only been out of the box twice. Its not the big aperture scope, but you have to start somewhere.*L* I do hope to build my own telescope someday, so I have been watching the ATM pages alot lately.
I guess that's it about me for now, here are some of my favorite links.
