Just obtained my GMRS license yesterday. WRQT744. I'm excited to join the community and see what kind of toys I can play with.
I come from the background of broadcast IT and engineering. Having been involved in the tech side for almost 4 years and overall 6 years in the business, I have got to play with a lot of cool big FM toys. But, that being my professional work, this GMRS stuff is going to be my hobby/for fun stuff. Because my mind is always on radio 24/7.
What's funny is WRQT in my call sign, is the call letters of the rock radio station I started at in 2014 here in La Crosse. Easy enough for me to remember!
I'm hoping to get my first radio ordered next week. Looking at a Beofeng UV-5G HT to start with and work my way up. Eventually i'm eyeing that Woukon KG1000-G for the vehicle.
The wife calls me a nerd, I take that as a compliment. Anyone around in the MN/WI area? Hope to talk to some people soon.
