Hi, my name is Jim Duarte and I've been licensed since 1980. My uncle, Frank Duarte - WA1KEU (SK) got me interested in the hobby and helped me get started. Amateur Radio is a great hobby with many challenging opportunities available. The ability to engage in conversations with Amateur Radio operators throughout the world is very satisfying.
