I consider any unsolicited bulk e-mails to be spam. They are not welcome! Please do not send. I don't do business with spammers!

Please include your name (at least your first name) and generally where you are located.

If you have a question regarding one of my projects, please e-mail me. Questions of a general nature can also be posted to The RadioBoard.

If you have a radio you want my opinion on so you can flip it on eBay, I am available for my advice for a fee.

Sorry, but I don't accept telephone calls or other voice communications.

Before e-mailing me with a question, please try to find the answer yourself. I know it is easy to click the mouse a couple of times and just e-mail Dave.

My 211+ page website generates a lot of e-mail traffic to me from hobbyists and others around the world. So before e-mailing me, please think a while about the problem. Also try Google for websites that might have the answers. Please do some experimenting first before e-mailing. This website is here to help the experimenter help themselves.

If you have done all this, and I am your last resort, please e-mail. Short, to the point, and clearly worded questions are always welcomed. I won't give you the big quiz on where else you tried or anything like that. You are on your honor. Thanks for your understanding.
