    About Me
     Hello, My name is Ian Litchfield and I am 19 years old and live in New Jersey. I am general class Radio Amateur callsign KD2IXL, and used volunteer firefighter at my local department. I have been a licensed Ham since June of 2015, but I have been near the hobby since I was born as both my Father and Grandpa (mother's father) were Hams. I am going to college for computer Networking. I am creating this website as a way to display my life and my activities throught this wonderful hobby as well as to help me in progressing and aiding others. This website will be updated as most pages are coming soon as I still have to learn the HTML code so be patient if it is buggy.  Follow my twitter at KD2IXL
