Biography

I have been an Amateur Radio Operator for nearly 30 years. Many people cannot pronounce my name correctly so I prefer to be called Bon. I am a Veteran of the U.S. Coast Guard and active member of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, Arlington flotilla 14-2 in Jacksonville, Florida.

I am also a heart transplant recipient and advocate Organ Donation. I am several years post transplant and living a better life with my life partner and fellow HAM Erica, KM4WRG. You can find us both out on adventures either fishing, camping, hiking or traveling to said places! I am most active on 2, 6, 10, 17, 20 and 40 meter bands but I enjoy this hobby of radio on any band really but 6 meters is my favorite!

Thanks for reading up on me. For more information, contact me at: kx4ez68@gmail.com
