I am a new Ham just learning this hobby. I am working mainly with my QRP HF Radio a
Yaesu FT-817ND and a Long wire antenna. I also use portable antenna which is a Wonder Wand
Wide-Band.

As an IT professional working on ITIL processes and technology I am interested in the
following radio areas where I can use my computer skills. I am using my iPad iOS 9,
Android 5.1 and a MS Surface Pro 3 with Windows 8.1.

· QRP Work (5w)

· Digital & Packet work (all modes)

· Echolink/IRLP

· Satellite Operations

· Propagation & Low/Slow Work (QRSS)

· Mesh Networking (future)

It was really hard to wait for my Vanity call sign…K5EDG

I also use a HT F1D for mobile/portable as well as my Arrow II for my satellite work.
I use HRD, 817 Companion and many Digital tools on iOS and Android/Windows! I did buy some time on RemoteHamRadio.com
instead of buy a big HF rig when my HOA won’t allow Antennas.

QRP Beacons and using Pilot Navaids in HAM radio seems ideal. I’m not sure most HAM’s know and can use VOR, DME or NDB!

Got my LOTW Certificate (look me up!)

APRSDroid is online

Echolink 318356 or 561041

Working on better APRS now and using APRS Packets. Still learning how to work Satellites! Seems fun but complex as well… very rewarding.

SDR is not receiving well yet but I am working some new Antenna ideas. Perhaps I need a HF up-converter.

Went Mobile in my 2014 Nissan Titan and got my Operators Tag. See me on the Road in North Texas! I’ve been quiet as I learn the ropes a bit… ;)
I’m usually scanning the local repeaters and on APRS with my HT FT1D (APRS & Digital) or on my GT3 FM (8W) for Voice. Try 442.575 +5. PL 127.3
or the 2M and 70cm repeaters in the McKinney/Collin Co. area! I also scan all the area Repeaters on 33cm, 70cm, 1.25M, 2M & 6M
usually on FM and Digital as I commute in the area on SRT (hwy 121)/I-75 in McKinney

QRP low power and Digital modes have been slow to learn and make contacts. Still have some bugs in my antenna setup, software and CAT rigs.
Hell and QRSS seem cool. The PSK/BPSK modes still sound like old computer digital modes I once used at 1200/9600 baud!

My Mobile setup is progressing with a new Quad Band Antenna and mount, still waiting on grounding straps and a proper APRS mobile radio.
I kinda like the Kenwood TM-D710-GA for the bands, GPS and APRS coverage. Also my Yaesu FT1D APRS is ok for positions but does not really support the
unique message formats for the Kenwood guys to MSG me now some of the ISS settings for a HT with no built-in CAT.

Next… more SAT work!

Satellite OPS… working on as many Sats as I can get with my new Arrow II Yagi and 5 Watts QRP! To bad most of these are SSB or non-operational… L
