I received my Technician license at the end of February 2023 and upgraded to General March 2024. I’ve started out slow with some HTs and joining the local Nets in the area and have grown from there.
You can find me on 2m, 1.25m, 70cm and FT8 on HF. I’m also on APRS a lot!
Somehow, I started collecting HTs and now have 4. I also have a Yaesu FMT-200D that I use as a base station and mobile. Hoping to get my General in the upcoming months and get into FT8.
I run a APRS Digipeater / 2-way IGate in Gloucester, MA. If you’re near the area, you can find it under KC1SOO-1. Feel free to use it for #APRSThursday – Equipment is a Raspberry Pi 4 running Direwolf, a Digirig & Yaesu FT-2980.
You can catch me as the Net Controller for the “6PM Net” on Friday nights. Every Friday night at 6:00PM on the Gloucester, MA W1GLO repeater at 145.130MHz (PL 107.2) or Echolink W1GLO-R.
Please Note: We are currently using the Danvers, MA Repeater (NS1RA) at 145.470-, (PL of 136.5) while the W1GLO Repeater is being repaired. I’m net control on Friday nights still!
