This connection with either be on 146.520 simplex or 146.745 repeater.
I grew up listening to my dad, great uncles, and others on 11 meters. I had a intrest in radio from that but never really caught the "bug" for 11 meters. I got my amateur ticket back in 2003, what got me interested in Ham radio was hearing of how radio was used in storm spotting and listening to local Skywarn nets on a scanner. I had always had a passion for all sorts of weather. While studying for my Tech in 2003 I began to realized how much more could be done with radio. My passion for the hobby has continued to grow, now an extra class and enjoy various contesting, making antennas, just anything radio.
I have been in the law enforcement field since 2006. Went to college for computer programming...not real sure what happened there.
I prefer paper cards. You may QSL by LoTW, eQSL, or direct to my listed address. I will return a card for cards recieved.
North Mississippi Storm Chasers and Spotters is a group I founded for area severe weather spotters and chasers that has grown greatly to a very orginaized group. Recently became a radio club with call sign KG5DBW . NMSCAS Facebook page here.
An Elder , WB5TTM(SK), really blessed me with serveral new items for my radio hobby before he passed. I can't thank him enough for his contribution of very useful items that will help me continue to adventure in the world of radio.
