Brandon Beeson (KO6HWR)

Licensed in February 2025, my main passions in the hobby are HF SSB and POTA hunting. As a lifelong map enthusiast, I quickly realized how much topography and grid squares dictate our success on the air.

For me, that 'homebrew' spirit translates to building digital solutions. I leverage modern tools to create these mapping utilities to help fellow hams visualize their signals, plan better links, and get the most out of their stations.

Note: You might occasionally hear my two kids on the air with me while they sit at the rig "playing radio." They are learning the ropes under my supervision, so thanks for your patience as they discover the magic of RF!
