About KIX
Hello all,
I’ve been licensed since September 2003 and currently hold a general class license.
I’m active with my local club (Newington Amateur Radio League). We happen to be in the same town as the ARRL headquarters. The club website is www.narl.net. I am the club newsletter editor, special projects (read: goto guy and buildathons) and I’m very active there.
My QSL card
ARES – I’m the District Emergency Coordinator for Region 3 ARES in the Connecticut Section.
Operating preferences – I operate on the local repeaters on the KB1AEV linked repeater system (147.345 with a PL of 77). On HF I operate portable often since I live in a high RF noise environment. I operate SSB and “sloppy CW”. I’m still getting there, but I work at it.
I love to homebrew and have been spending a lot of time on the bench building things. QRP has been a huge influence on my radio activities.
I also teach radio classes about 3 times a year.
Non radio:
I’m a proud parent of an 11 year old son, active in his scouts and we are active outdoorsmen. Camping, hiking and now he asked the big question: Dad, can you teach me to fish!.
Thanx for stopping by, I’ll try and add content to this site at least on a regular basis.
My son and I, Christmas '07
