The following is a list of various ham links in the North Central Kentucky area, called Kentuckiana by the locals. If you are a ham, and plan on visiting or are moving to the area, they should be help for you to get your footing in the ham community.
Like I
said in the opening page, I mainly monitor 146.520. I also listen
to 442.450 (KD4CLR). The 450 machine is on the WAVE-TV tower
and has a service area of roughly 35-40 miles from LaGrange. If you
are travel up and down the I-71 corridor, give me a shout.

It's getting to be spring time in the south. Where a man's fancy
turns to romance, and severe weather. There have been numerous instances
where spotters have identified severe weather and notified the local NWS
office thereby cutting down on the issue time of warnings over the time
that they local office would normal identify severe weather.

If you
are anything like me, the first time you went to key the mic to call out
over a repeater, you were terrified. "Just don't let me say something
stupid, Lord" is what I remember thinking. Although I had talked
on business band two way radios before, there was something different about
talking to your peers being new to the game.
Well,
surfing around a couple of days ago, I ran across a webpage from the Raleigh
Amateur Radio group. It's a very good primer about repeaters, how
they work and proper etiquette. Click on their logo below and you
will be forwarded to their website with the repeater information.
And remember, this is a guideline. To find out about repeater customs
in your area, listen to what the other ops are doing.
As I find them, I'll add links more links for the North Central Kentucky area. I am especially interested in ATV.
If
you have any links, email them to me.
