Biography

I got my tech license in August of 2011 and upgraded to General three weeks later. I was interested in amateur radio in high school but I was never able to master the code sufficiently to get my license. Forty years later, I finally got my license after seeing Bob Heil, K9EID, and Leo LaPorte, W6TWT, on TWIT.TV. Now I am interested in public service activities with ARES and learning to be of service in the event of the next local disaster.

On March 1st, 2014, I passed the Amateur Extra Class Exam and I will keep this callsign.

Equipment

Currently, I am running a Yaesu FT-450d off a Buckmaster 80/75m-40m-20m-17m-12m-10m-6m OCF Dipole.
