I am Rick Koshko, the news director at radio stations WCMY & WRKX in Ottawa, Illinois. I have been a radio announcer since 1992, a news broadcaster since 1994, an online social networker since 1997, and a web page designer since 1998.

My social networking policy: While my use of social networks will give you insights about me, please understand that the opinions I express are mine and not necessarily those of my employer, colleagues, family, friends, or anyone in my contact lists. I include in my contact lists people I don't always agree with and whose activities I don't necessarily endorse along with people I like and admire. The diversity of opinions and activities intrigues me.

Samples of my work: newscasts, graphics, advertising flyers, newsletters. You can also visit OttawaRadio.net to find stories I've written and newscasts I've read.

Web site sections: Koshko family history, shortwave radio info, calendars, info in English about Esperanto, my film pictures of a November 7, 2004 auroral display.
