Either scale modeling or ham radio is my first hobby. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by bouncing radio waves off the atmosphere and virtually visiting other parts of the world. My father and grandfather were both hams, so it was probably fated for me to get a license. I was first licensed when I was 14, and now hold an Extra Class license. My focus is on operating remotely in parks and off-grid situations, digital modes, low power, and home built antennas. I eventually want to build a satellite station.
