[k0ua]

K0UA is my amateur radio callsign since when I upgraded to Extra class in 1975. Of course the second character is a "zero" not an "oh". Since I was licensed in the Zero FCC radio district. There are 10 radio districts in the USA. Many other countries use a similar system.

Amateurs will introduce them selves to each other by their callsigns.

As you can see I make no attempt to hide my identity.

I'm not really a farmer, but I own an old dairy farm I call Quicksand Farm. In the earliest recorded mention of the property I can find (1683) it is described as "upon The Quicksand Pond."

[Steppenwolfe]

Steppenwolfe is from the Herman Hesse novel . He was a German philosopher of the early 1900's. The novel is a personal study of an aging man coming to terms of his youth versus growing old. He calls himself a " lone wolf of the Steppes ". A topic I'm sure many of us have visited. I have always been a bruiser of a man, now coping with sitting on the porch so to speak...

 

[Wagtail]

Wagtail is for my favourite Aussie bird; a "Willie Wagtail". It also works with my horse's 'swishing' tail.

I went on to name my sprawling (6 acre) property "Wagtail Park"... which is a humorous reference to a large country estate.

Yes, James - KC7SW here( advanced since '68 ). Ah, figured it out. When a zero is used with letters - it has that odd little top hat to distinguish from an - oh.

Have a friend in WA who has 50 acres of sand and spinifex which he calls 'Legover Manor'

Do you sell them to NY State? DEC always releases ring neck pheasants near a barge canal near me. They end up hanging out next to the state highway (looking for feed-time?) until they fly up into cars and smash out the grill. (Don't ask me how I know. )

No;for myself;I own an uplands preserve/dog training facility.Oddly the windshield thing happened to me with one of my own birds;had 400 miles on that truck at the time.
