Biography

My name is Brian, I live in Stewartville, MN



W0AMX is a new vanity call for me, the call reminds me of my all-time favorite classic muscle car, the 1970 AMC AMX, and someday I hope to have another one. My original call was N0ZQB as a newly licensed tech back in 1993, it was a tongue twister, so once I was able to get a vanity call, I did, I then changed my call to K0BAS. I kept that call for several years and upgraded to general along the way too.

I changed back to my original call for some reason I don’t remember, then recently changed to W0AMX, I'll keep this one for a while I think.

I'm active on HF, not a big station, but suites me fine. As of this writing, I am using a TS-590SG an 1KW amp and a Butternut HF9V vertical in the back yard/garden. There are a lot of radials under my vertical, I lost count, but I know there are at least 80, it works well enough for me and I'm happy with it, easily out performs any dipoles I had up and fits in well with the neighborhood and has a high WAF (wife acceptance factor) she's a bigger part of my life than the hobby, so some won't understand that, but there is more to life...

Other info:

My 444.250 repeater under the club call of W0VGW is located in the center of town at the All American Coop. The antenna is 130' up on a grain leg and the coverage is good for several small communities in the area, plus it covers lots of farms and rural homes with in a 20-30-mile radius. The repeater is both FM and C4FM (Yaesu system fusion). PL is 136.5 for you analog guys. It is also linked to the internet and allows connection to Wires-X rooms. Normally linked to Bluff Country.


That's it from here. Thank you for stopping by, be safe, be strong, and be there for those that need you. I hope to hear you on the air soon.



73! and good DX, de W0AMX
