Biography
I've had the Amateur radio virus since August of 2001. Original call was KC2IJJ. Got my license when I was 17
I started operating from my mom's house in Cedar Grove New Jersey (Essex County) on the UHF/VHF bands. I got the HF bug when I upgraded to General class in April 2007. I upgraded to Extra in April of 2009 while also changing my call to AJ2I.
I have since moved to our first house in August of 2010 with my Wife (K2ABT) to our current location of Rockaway, New Jersey (Morris County). I really enjoy getting on the HF bands and working DX or catching up with my friends all over the world.
I prefer to have a little chat or small ragchew more then contest style operation (signal report/73).
I usually hang out on 14.180-14.210. Shout out to my friends John ZS6BNS, Malcolm ZS6MAL, Gareth ZS3G, Dan N4GNR, Carl OE9MON, Deon ZS5DCF, Alan NE2X, Kurt ON8KW, John HK3C, Paul EA5IKJ and Neal 2E0MNG
