Biography

I was licensed in 1986 as KB0ADB. After receiving extra I changed my call to K0RKS.
I am on the digital modes as it is more interesting to work with 30 watts than 1500.
FT8 is amazing to me, I highly recommend this mode.

I had never heard DX from Japan on 80 before FT8. This morning I worked FIVE stations in Japan from Kansas, with 40 watts!
