About Me
I have a long history with radios, starting with a CB radio shortly after High Schooll. Eventually I joined a group that used GMRS. My call-sign was KAE8153. Unfortunately, I allowed it to lapse, and was not allowed to reclaim it. In 2005 I received my current one of WQDM658. In August of 2013, I became a Ham radio operator, and requested the vanity call-sign of KF4GSR. My OLD (I do mean old) radios are not only obsolete, but they're BIG and heavy compared to modern H/Ts. All I have that can work on GMRS at the moment is a Baofeng UV-5RC. However, I look forward to improving that.
I believe strongly in disaster preparedness. Part of this means having communications flexibility. Therefore I plan to be active with both Ham radio, and GMRS. I also look sorward to taking the Skywarn spotter training.
I'll add more when it seems appropriate.
