K9MTE (Travis)

Welcome to the channel!

I’m Travis — K9MTE — a ham radio operator, former software engineer, and lifelong electronics enthusiast working out of the Driftless region of Wisconsin.

This channel is mostly about what I’m making: the software and hardware I’m designing for ham radio, built to grow my own technical knowledge and to put genuinely useful tools in the hands of other operators through the company I’m starting, Wisco Radio.

Between projects, you’ll find me on the air — CW, SSB, QRP and QRO, POTA activations and hunting — because the building and the operating feed each other.

I truly believe in the self-sufficiency behind ham radio. It’s something we should all be able to understand, repair, and make our own. My goal is to create meaningful, educational products for the community — and to provide a little entertainment along the way. If that’s your kind of thing too, subscribe and follow along!
