This is his story, and he is sticking to it, and it will be done in third-person mode.

Rik is into many things including Ham Radio, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Trail Running, Hiking and motorcycling. There will be many pictures here as well as some accompanying text.

This picture is Rik standing next to a Model 28 Automatic Send/Receive (ASR) teletype machine that is one of the many things he wrenched on when he started his electronics career with the US Air Force. Mostly electro-mechanical with a few very basic PCB based components.
