WSBN926 Posted 8 hours ago Report Posted 8 hours ago "Hey everyone! My name is Theron, and I’m in Greenville, MI. I have interest in GMRS and amateur radio, and I’m eager to learn more about the radio hobby. I’m excited to connect with experienced operators and newcomers alike. I'm towards the outer ranges of most of the repeaters ranges but the Wouxon KG1000G+ and (current temporary) short stub mobile magnetic mount is able to hit them most of the time. However, reports are that my signal is on the weak side at full power into the Moline repeater and others. I often simply listen to the Nets/Skywarn and general chatter in the evenings. I'll be upgrading my antenna (J-pole or Yaggi) and height at the home base to provide a clearer signal into the repeaters which will improve participation in the Nets / Skywarn. In addition to radio, I enjoy exploring the great outdoors, welding, and carpentry. I work in the large scale industrial bioprocessing industry as a research and development scientist and data analyst.
