Hi!
Welcome
to my website!
I'm
Bob Chandler, amateur radio operator VE3SRE
in Toronto, ON. I
also hold Quebec callsign VA2SRE.
I've been
licensed as an amateur (ham) radio operator since 1990.
I'm
a somewhat active ham
radio contester, VHF/UHF weak signal enthusiast and self-confessed
media junkie. I'm also particularly interested in GNU/Linux and
other types of free and open
source computer software, much of which is just as good and often
better than proprietary software.
I work for a non-profit adult education centre in Toronto where I do a mix of systems administration, employment counselling and computer instruction for beginners.
This site is very much a "work in progress" that I'll be filling out over the coming months depending on my time and energy! You'll find new links, mini-articles and reviews added as I find new stuff, or an idea pops into my head!
At some point I may turn this site into a "blog", but that's for another day!

At some point I may turn this site into a "blog", but that's for another day!
This
site seems to have been getting about six to eight hundred individual "hits" per
month since it went up in the summer of 2006, so I guess a few folks
are indeed finding something of interest here! Where are they
coming from? Canada,
USA, Brazil, UK, Germany, Poland, Japan, Portugal, Australia, China,
Finland, Greece, Russia, Argentina, Belgium, Switzerland, Czech
Republic, France, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Netherlands, Norway,
Pakistan, Sweden, Singapore and Uruguay.
I've looked at this site once or twice in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0, and some of it doesn't look quite right. Mostly because alot of my graphics are open source ".png" instead of ".gif" and Micro$oft's excuse for a web browser doesn't fully support the .png file format. Microsoft does appear to have fixed this problem in I.E. 7.
But then, I refuse to use I.E. Especially when there are so many better web browsers available!
If you use Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla Web Suite, Sea Monkey Web Suite, Opera, Flock, K-Meleon, Safari, Konqueror, Galeon or Epiphany, everything should look fine!
I'm a big fan of streaming audio. If you are as well you might want to have a look at this page for a listing of Toronto area AM stations, and this page for Toronto area FM stations. I've also got some useful links to public, campus and community radio across Canada, the U.S., the UK, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Ireland on this page.
If you want to get ahold of me you can e-mail me at feedback@ve3sre.com. Due to all the spambots out there , this address is a bit of a "honeypot" and I don't check this address all that often. But I like to hear from you anyway even if just to let me know what you liked (or didn't like) on the site.
