Biography

2021 is starting out awesome!

I am getting into Satellite and Packet operations with a new Kenwood TH-D74a and Arrow II antenna.

Starting my adventures in HF with an Icom IC-7300 and Chameleon TD-Lite. Currently practicing my emergency antenna deployment by setting up the antenna outside and running coax through the sliding door in the kitchen. Hopefully in Spring I will have a permanent HF antenna setup, but for now, this works really well.
