How did you get into geocaching?
I have been fascinated with receiving dx (far away) radio stations
since I was a child. Later I installed the big 10’ satellite dish
TVRO and OA antenna systems in homes and even a hotel or two. Later
I became interested in “scanning” the police and public service
bands (radio) where I discovered HAM radio, I’m sorry what was the
question?
What's the meaning behind the screen name?
When I got into computers my hobbies were BONSAI trees and RADio

What advice would you offer new geocachers/hiders?
Have fun with it. Don’t get burned out by trying to do too much
too soon. Remember that you only get one “first hide” Think it out..
What do you say when muggles ask what you are doing?
The radiation levels here are very elevated, you need to leave NOW
while you still can.
What is your favorite cache container?
I like them all, ammo cans really do the best job.
What is the strangest thing you have ever found in the cache?
I have a high "strange" threshold. So I"m hard to impress.
