About

Hi, I’m Mark J. Blair, NF6X. “NF6X” is my amateur radio (AKA ham radio) callsign. I like to collect, restore and play with military surplus equipment, and that’s mostly what this web site is all about.

I’ve maintained a web site about my military radio and vehicle interests since 1999, first hosted at QSL.net under my original callsign (KE6MYK), then under my new callsign (NF6X), and then migrated to my own domain. Now in December, 2011, I’ve converted it to a WordPress-based blog. I’ve ported most of my old static content to the blog with minor revisions, maintaining the original publishing date stamps.

I created the background texture and title image by Photoshopping a picture of my M-209-B cipher machine to create the look of a WW2-period dataplate riveted onto a background painted with green wrinkle paint.

Please browse my old blog posts if this stuff interests you, and comment or email me if you would like to. I reserve the right to delete any comments which don’t belong on my blog in my opinion, and I’m not kind to spammers. Thanks for visiting!
