I’m Marc, amateur radio operator KQ4DLB. This is my corner of the airwaves—a home for radio, technology, community service, and the projects I’m building along the way.

01 / THE OPERATOR
Technology is most useful when it connects people.
My career has been built around technology and infrastructure. Amateur radio brings that experience back to something immediate: one person, one signal, one connection at a time.
I’m interested in dependable communications, emergency preparedness, useful automation, and making technical knowledge easier to share.

Projects in progress.
Useful ideas start rough. This is where I share the tools, experiments, and code as they take shape.

Radio with
purpose.
The best part of the hobby is what we can do for one another—whether that is making a first contact, helping at a community event, or being ready when ordinary communications fail.
Emergency communications
Supporting resilient local communications, public service, and Dickson County ARES.
Radio + technology
Exploring where amateur radio, automation, dashboards, and modern infrastructure meet.
Learning out loud
Documenting experiments, field lessons, and practical resources for other operators.
04 / CONNECTED WORK
One operator.
Three signals.
Each site has its own purpose, but all three connect the same work: technology, amateur radio, service, learning, and community.
