We are the Ratzlaff family

Noji is the dad and Lisa is the mom, and we live in Orem, Utah. We have four kids and twelve grandkids so far. Noji currently works at Lockheed Martin, is a ham (KNØJI), and Lisa is also a ham (KR5LYS), a full-time mom and grandma, and a great homemaker. We actively attend the LDS (Mormon) church each Sunday, in which dad and mom have church jobs. Noji also teaches karate at Shotokan Karate and Self-defense in Orem on Saturday mornings, helps administer ham radio examinations once or twice a month, is a ham radio license instructor, a CERT trainer, and holds several church callings. Lisa is a family history missionary at the Family History Training Center, a rockhound, a DUP, and speaks French.

← We live in a nice, little house about 50 miles south of Salt Lake City. (If you look closely, you can see the late Patches and our first antenna.)

Here's a shot of our house at sunset on New Year's Day 2015, with a better view of our three (at the time) roof-mounted antennas:
