About Me:

CAUTION:  I AM NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT.  I MAKE ZERO EFFORT TO BE.

If you are offended by certain words you may find here, even though I have used them in their primary meaning as defined in the Webster or Oxford dictionary, then perhaps you should just GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

People are always asking me if I am German or American.  

• My friends say I'm American, with a cowboy accent when I speak German.
  
• My family says I'm more German than American, and swear I talk with a German accent.
• My close friends (who are German) say I am more German than a German.
• I am an AMERICAN, but . . . after a couple of beers, I am A BAVARIAN!

I was born in Oklahoma City USA, in the first half of the previous century.  

Thus the term "Old Man" is a good fit.

I lived in: 

• The US for 10 years    (1948 to 1958)
• Germany for 3 years    (1959 to 1962)
• The US for 10 years     (1962 to 1972)
• Germany for 35 years  (1972 to 2007)
• The US for 4 years       (2007 to 2011)*
• Germany since April of 2011

*While in the US, I founded Spiderbeam-US, the North American

  distributor for [German] Spiderbeam Antennas.

             I guess I'm a Bavarian Cowboy:

                          DJ0IP  /  NJ0IP

BTW, my very first job was working 12 to 14 hours per day as a cowboy

in the Oklahoma City Stock Yards.   That was 1966. That job, much more

so than my parents insistance, made me go to college and earn a degree!
