Getting Started |
Welcome everybody! My name is Jeff and my call is KJ4RWH. I�m located in Bedford, Va. I sat and passed my Technician�s test in February 2010 and upgraded to General in July of that year. I thought the Tech ticket would satisfy the itch. I bought a HT and put a mobile in the car but soon discovered that was somewhat limiting. Strange hobby, the license is �free� but the accessories can put you in the poor house! Soon after passing the General, I found a nice, used ICOM HF rig and started building a station. Right now I�m running 100 watts to a multi-band dipole elevated to 30 feet. We have approximately 10 hours of high duty cycle battery backup and generator power to charge and run beyond that. |
