Welcome to Dave Casler’s site and blog!
I like to share information and that's what this site is for. I love living in Southwestern Colorado in the San Juan Mountains, part of the Rocky Mountain range. I enjoy motorcycling, both street and dirt, so I keep GPS tracks of my travels to share along with photographs. Oh, the wildflowers aren't bad either!

Skybeam: I think it’s fixed!
I’ve been having a terrible time with Skybeam.com, my ISP. Starting around December 3rd, my speeds were “inverted.” I pay for their 7 Mbps service, which unlike any other definition actually means 5 Mbps down and 2 Mbps down. (For … Continue reading
To Slash the Zero or Not to Slash the Zero: Ham Radio Callsigns in the Tenth Call Area
My callsign, KEØOG, is an example of a call in the tenth call area, with the 10 being represented by a 0 (zero). The idea of 0 for 10 is an old one, going back to the old Stroger telephone … Continue reading

Ten-Tec Jupiter Line Input Mod: I’ll skip this one, thanks
I love my Ten-Tec Jupiter. Very good rig! But I noted earlier that I had trouble feeding it audio for HF digital work because the line input via the AUX1 connector is remarkably sensitive. I had to put a 10:1 … Continue reading
CyberLink PowerDirector: Green Screen Doesn’t Have To Cover Entire Frame
CyberLink PowerDirector is my video editor of choice. Great product! (Sadly, like all software these days, it’s lightly documented.) I just figured out an interesting way to do green screen without having the green screen cover the entire frame. That … Continue reading

Skybeam: Still a falling star!

The website mormon.org allows members of the Mormon church to post personal profiles. I put mine together a couple days ago and it’s now live here. Check it out!
I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or more commonly known as the Mormon Church. There's lots of misinformation out there about the Church. Why not check out
