Welcome to NN4Y.com – Ham Radio Stories, Laughs, and a Cat Named Buddy

I’m NN4Y—Terry—and this site is where my sixty years of amateur radio meet a lifetime of tall tales, fictional misadventures, and just enough truth to keep the FCC on their toes.

Here you’ll find:

• Bits of learning and radio wisdom
• Outrageous stories from nets across the country
• Original cartoons and fictional characters you won’t forget

There’s Buddy the Cat, my orange bobtail sidekick who loves radios but hates CW. And there’s Lid, our wire-snipping hamfest menace. You’ll also meet the bearded OM at the heart of it all—and more ham radio characters than you can shake a bent whip antenna at.

Some stories are helpful. Some are hilarious. Some are complete nonsense. But all of them come from the heart of the hobby.

So settle in, spin the dial, and enjoy the signal.
