Another Stephen P. McGreevy Photo-Gallery
Enjoy a bit more of my photography of my travels to interesting and special places -N6NKS- Travel is "The Spice of Life" - it is mind-opening. (Address info. further below photo gallery)
Cruising the remote back roads of America's beautiful Great Basin (Basin and Range Province) of central Nevada - I have been exploring Nevada back roads since 1983 - this photo is taken heading westbound on Nevada state route 844 toward Gabbs, NV, in the Paradise Range amongst Pinyon Pines on the 18th of August, 2010 - N6NKS.
The Great Space Center - Eastern Sierra DX spot in DM06.
I got stuck for 6 hours in sand - wedged on berm that my car rested upon its skid-plates. I dug for 5 hours, and by mid-afternoon on 12 June 2010, a kind Ranger from DVNP to the west, (7 miles / 12 km) outside his jurisdiction - towed me out of the sand within 30 seconds! Thanks to the fine hams on 7.248 MHz I spoke to (CARS and WestCARS nets - 1100 to 1300 PT), giving them my GPS coords., and that kind Ranger, I went on my way. I was in DM17 for VHF-UHF QSO-Party. 6m opened up nicely 11-12 June, 2010. N6NKS
My Best Kitty Companion-Friend, Rocky, The Kwitain - a very talkative, intelligent Tuxedo-cat
N6NKS Field-Day site (DM17) - Lee Flat (Inyo Co. CA) - June 2009 - fabulous 6 meter conditions three days there with Kenwood TS-570S.
Cooler than last year at Lee Flat, this eastern Sierra site (DM06) was my June 2010 Field-Day site with Kenwood TS-480SAT. Again, fine 6m conditions prevailed.
On Loma Alta Hill, Marin County, Nov. 1995 with WR-3 Receiver.
march-2003 - in Mojave Nat. Preserve.
In Ireland, May 1992 - a wonderful place to DX the MW broadcast-band. Also in Donegal in early May 1996, I could hear a few North American MW stations on small loop antenna and Sony portable receiver.
Human Warehousing in North Vilnius - the antithesis of wilderness living...
Point Reyes, California - Sunset in lovely silence - August 1992 - SP McGreevy
In the Inverness Ridge, Point Reyes, California in cool summertime coastal fog - July 2009 - SP McGreevy

Hay farm in central/northern Oregon near Twickenham - S.P. McGreevy, 8/90
Marin County, CA Fog - July 1991 - so lovely and peaceful
St. Petersburg, Russia - a fascinating place to DX LW, MW - Saudi Arabia could be heard in hotel room on 1512 and 1521 kHz in St. Petersburg with just a loopstick antenna facing southward - unfortunately, one can't hear long-haul MW-BCB DX in the overcrowded North American MW dial at all - not like that in Russia!
Point Reye's Primordial Rainforest - I spent a misty, full-moonlight night in July 2008 deep within the forest - DXing all of my desert-HF radio-beacons.

Gail and I on VLF-oriented Canadian trip - 5,000 mi.-plus, Sept. 1993. Gail and I traveled thousands of miles taking in the vast beauty of North America, especially its northern half.
Trail canyon - lovely in the Pinyon Pine forest - a trail leads to Boundary Peak, NV.
I fell in love with the country of Latvia, in fact so much, I would move there and learn Latvian if the opportunity presents itself, though I do love my desert home. I loved Latvia so much (and no country is perfect nor utopia) that this link points to a page devoted to Latvia. - I left my heart in Latvia. SPM - N6NKS.

in the south-eastern section of Death Valley National Park, California with another HF radio beacon experiment.
At this 1999-2001 tech. job, they made me have to undig ATV's and other stuff out of the Owens Lakebed mud in the wintertime. I was standing upon hard-pan clay under the quicksand.
On hike along beloved Coast Trail, Pt. Reyes NS, northern Calif., June 2003.
wonderful CW QSO's via my old 1944 TCS transmitter 5 to 20 watts output to end-fed full-wave wire.

Incredible natural VLF Radio phenomena audible that day and earlier in Alaska's auroral-zone - this train I was on was heading south into the mountains south of Fairbanks (Alaska Range) toward Denali Peak and ultimately, Anchorage - Autumn 1995. I love trains.
