Welcome To the Personal Page of

Scott Meenen N3SJH

    My name is Scott Meenen I am a white male. I live in Laurel Maryland half-way between Baltimore Maryland and Washington DC.

   I work as a self employed mechanical contractor mostly servicing heating and air-conditioning systems but I have many other interests and abilities.

    My current interests include electronics, science, science fiction, computers (obviously), auto mechanics, machinery (old and new), antiques, auctions, architecture, music and recording, movies and film, radio (broadcasting), television, politics, law, and other interests that I haven't thought of yet.

    I like to take life as it comes and try to change it for the better. I understand that things don't always go the way we want but I try to make the best of it. I run my own business and while I am not rich I do ok for myself thanks to the internet and proper marketing.

    I try to stay healthy (I don't Smoke or drink). I am not a total vegetarian but have considered it,  I do eat some meat but try to keep it in moderation. My work tends to keep me in good shape.

    If I could live anywhere it would most likely be in a small town or outside a city where I could find a nice hill. I would have my own water system and solar electricity ( I have done it in the past already on a farm outside Annapolis Maryland). Some people find being self sufficient and prepared weird I think it is a major asset and good sense.

    I spend what some consider way too much time using my technical knowledge to help others do things or solve problems for them. I have made many people suspicious and or angry in the process. To those who I have upset by helping others sorry. To those who have lost business because I have stopped people from getting ripped off, screw you!

please be patient.
If you have Cable or DSL you will wonder why I mention it since I have DSL.


I am broadcasing form Westminster Md doing my weekly radio show.
Picture Of Scott Meenen N3SJH (Ham Radio Call Sign) I am doing my weekly radio show "Cooltalk" from studios in Westminster Md. The mixing console you see in this picture did not wire itself, I did. The device you see to the left of the console is called a "hybrid" which is used to put calls through the mixer and on the air. I connect the hybrid to my IP: phone. I use the same device to do my interviews.

My get around car is a VW Quantum Turbo Diesel. Runs Great
Image of my get around car is an 82 Volkswagen Quantum Turbo Diesel gets 40 Mpg. I brought this car back from the dead by repairing a whole bunch of things that needed fixing including changing the clutch, brakes, drive shafts, electrical problems, now it runs great.
(I like To be practical).
    I recently rebuilt the Bosch Diesel injection system and replaced the injectors. Which is a job most good mechanics would run from. At last check the car has over 260,000 miles on it.
    In July 2003 I replaced the clutch and started driving it again. While others were celebrating the 4th I was torquing bolts on the flywheel and transmission.

1986 Chevrolet GMC pickup work truck
Image of my work truck is an 86 Chevy 3/4 ton truck with all the tools I need to make any Mechanical repairs to just about anything that I run into. (I like to be prepared).

Some of my favorite tv shows at this time are. The list would be longer but I don't have much time to watch T.V but what I do watch I remember pretty well.

  1. : Star Trek Voyager (I am sad that it is over but the new Enterprise is good)
  2. : The Simpsons. Political satire at it's best.
  3. : King of the Hill: I know people who act like that.
  4. : The Practice. In their infinite stupidity ABC is moving it to Mondays.

  5. : Law and Order (and Law and Order SVU and now Criminal intent). I am a crime junkie.

  6. : Nova: good
  7. : The New series Rough Science is really good and I recommend it as a learning tool.
  8. : Stargate SG1.
  9. : Seven Days.

  10. : Star trek DS9 (my favorite episode is when they robbed the casino and the baseball game)
  11. : The Fugitive

  12. : CSI (The forensic stuff is great but the legal stuff is in the toilet but getting better.)
  13. : Crossing Jordan; Yes I watch just to look at Jill Hennessy, but the other characters are good too.
  14. : Early Edition In reruns...
  15. : Special Unit 2 (funny). Gone.
  16. : The Lone Gunmen. Gone.
  17. : Boston Public   Web page with images of students faculty
  18. : I am fascinated by American Idol  and the elimination process from 70,000 down to 1. I am overwhelmed by the numbers of contestants and I love to hear Simon's blunt comments, thank you Simon! To Frenchie Davis of Washington DC. I think you could put Whitney Houston to shame if you sing "I have Nothing".   I love the Two big gals from Texas with the big voices Kimberly Caldwell (sp) and My Favorite Katherine Edmonson (sp) who sang the Doris Day rendition of "Fever"[723KB] (Right Click:Save as), thank you. This information is old and will be updated but I feel much the same and hate to change history. I have since had the honor to spend some time on the phone with Ms. Edmonson, she was very friendly. 

  19. I hope they move on to bigger and better. I have started an American Idol web page on this...

    UPDATE!!!: Apr 19 2003 I had the honor of doing an interview with American Idol contestant Vanessa Olivarez. I need to edit it but you will get the idea. I will post the audio copy soon.

    Sept. 9-2003 I have had the honor of doing 3 interviews with Contestants of American Idol: Vanessa Olivarez, Julia Demato and Candice Coleman. If I am very lucky I may get an interview with Kimberly Locke.

    Simon Cowell Tells It Like it Is. You tell em Simon



   Some of my favorite radio shows and stations at this time are:
  1. : The Zoh Show Now Future talk. She seems to have lost her fire. She was going at warp speed now her Impulse engines are off-line and she is operating on maneuvering thrusters only. If she doesn't get her engines back on line soon she will be adrift. Please say a prayer!

  2. : The G. Gordon Liddy Show (just because I listen Doesn't mean I agree with everything he says). However he is off the air on WJFK Baltimore and now on WCBM.
  3. The Ron Smith show WBAL 1090 AM
  4. : WWMX 106.5 Baltimore Md. I like mainstream music.
  5. : WRQX   107.3 Washington DC. I like main stream music
  6. : WASH   97.1  Washington DC. I like mainstream music.
  7. : WBIG   100.3 Washington DC. I like oldies
  8. : WTOP 1500 am Washington DC. I am a news junkie
  9. : WQSR  102.7 Baltimore Maryland I like oldies

My Favorite members of the opposite sex (not in any kind of order) actresses/singers that I would love to meet in person, by e-mail, letter or by phone (in my dreams) are.
  1. Kirsten Johnson (Third Rock from the Sun)

  2. Camryn Manheim (The Practice)

  3. Jane Krakowski (Ally Mc Beal. I saw her on Celebrity Jeopardy)
  4. Natalie Merchant

  5. Stevie Knicks. Of Fleetwood Mac fame .

  6. Kate Mulgrew (Star trek Voyager). It is a shame the series had to end.

  7. Andrea Parker (The Pretender) Off the air but in reruns. I thought her strong personality was attractive for the same reason a mild personality would be too.

  8. Gillian Anderson (The X-Files)
  9. Lucy Lawless (Xena)

  10. Gweneth Paltrow: I saw her on Jay Leno on October 30th 2001 and was very impressed by the fact that she eats as healthy as she does. I get the impression that most stars don't take care of themselves. That must be why she looks like she is still so young. I wish she would take me out to dinner. (Not in this lifetime).
  11. Jody Foster (I saw her on Celebrity Jeopardy and she said "ye ha"). I also saw "The Panic Room" recently and she was good in that.
  12. Renee Zellweger: I read that she Shops at The Home Depot which is ok by me.
  13. Lamya Jezek (looks like lisa Loeb) : (AKA Cheryl Holt on Boston Public of FOX) "feisty thing".
  14. Jill Hennessy : I love you as Jordan and hope you get your wish and become the next "Bond Girl". I also vote you as most likely to see this message. I will find a way to help petition the next producers of the "Bond" series to consider you.
    I am experimenting with the search engines to see how they rank stuff on my page, which is why I have links to some of these names. I don't think there is a very good chance of  getting a ranking with most of the competitive key words but I have had some interesting luck.
