Hello my fellow hams. I received my Technician license in August of 2022 and received my General license January of 2023. I am grateful to have become a ham radio operator. As a part of the ham radio family I enjoy making contacts with new hams. It is amazing how I can sit in a room in Hampton, Virgina, push a PTT button on a mic and be heard on the other side of the world. I am fascinated with the fubctions of how HF radio works. I am lucky to be a part of ham radio and thank you for visiting my page. Be blessed and see you on the air!
