Biography

Greetings! Welcome to my QRZCQ page. My interest in communications came many years ago as a scanner enthusiast. In 2003 I became a 9-1-1 dispatcher. Our 9-1-1 center has a dedicated RACES room and in 2006, I received my Technician "ticket" (as KC2PPI). I did this to act as an intermediary between the comm center and the RACES folks. In June, 2015 I upgraded to general class.

In 2020, with all the pandemic madness in the country, I decided to yet again change my callsign for the final time. I chose K2JDG as my last callsign. A call that had never been assigned and my initials! (Now to change it....everywhere!)

I am learning all the wonders of HF modes and am learning both Echolink and PSK31 operations. In my spare time I also volunteer with my local fire department. I have proudly served for 24 years.

Hope to see you on the air! 73
