About

Welcome!

I am a resident of Steubenville, OH and have been a Ham Radio Operator since May 2021. I obtained my General license at the end of June 2024, and enjoy learning the digital modes. I am a member of the Steubenville-Weirton Amateur Radio Club (SWARC)

I work as a Systems Administrator and also have a small IT Consulting company. You can find some personal blogs on technology at my website, AnthonyDeFallo.com.

Additional hobbies you can find me engaging in are either Storm Chasing for Skywarn or designing holiday light shows (Manor Marvel).
