Then
- ~Winter 1992 |
Later
- Spring 2006 |
|
I
was KB2INO. |
I
am KB7INO. |
|
I
am about 20 years old, in college mode. |
I
am 32 years old. |
|
I am
on top of one of the 120' W2SZ Tower |
I’m
at Dayton!!! After
being a ham for 17 years I finally made it to Dayton! |
|
The
green wire you see on my right hand is part of a 160-meter dipole. |
I
am VHF packing (apologies to HF-PACK): ·
Notice
the VHF antenna protruding out of my pack. ·
I
am using a Motorola MURS radio. ·
I
even received several compliments by passers by! |
|
I
am dress pretty warm because once you go above the tree line, it gets very
windy, and the wind chill factor is extremely low |
It
was a nice spring day… in DAYTON!!! |
|
I'm
on the highest point in Troy, New York. |
I’m at DAYTON!!! |
Since I live in a condo, work, and go to school, I might get on a
few times a month.
·
When I was living in my house, I would make about 1 HF QSO a
month… to which I was told "That's not QRP, that QRT!"
My main interests are :
- FM LEOSAT
- Because of the location
of my condo, I usually work them mobile
- Sometimes I go to a
clearing and set up my arrow antenna.
- 2 meters
- FM
- when I am mobile I
listen to 146.52
- I will listen to
146.52 in the background while at home
- SSB
- This mode is way
too much fun
- 6 meters – 6 is fun!!!
- On FM, 5 Watts on 6
meters sometimes travels further than 50 Watts on 2 meters
- I do monitor SSB,
because I live in a condo, 6 is as close to HF as I will get.
- There is a local
repeater (~0.5 miles from my QTH) that simulcasts on 6, 2, & 70cm
- License Free Radios – Hey not everybody is a ham, but
communications always comes in handy
- FRS
- cheap as all get out
and very functional
- I find them used for
less $2.50 a piece… they are almost disposable
- I use these most 99%
of the time
- MURS
- Gives VHF / 2 meter
capability (2 Watts and an external antenna!)
- 49 MHz
- Something fun to play
with on occasion
