Greetings from WS2L
Well most people here probably know (and hate) me from QRZ where I'm an Administrator and Editor. I'm also frequent the Island Misfits website on a daily basis.
I am 44 years old and was first licensed in 1978 as WD2AHD as a Novice class licensee. I decided to start upgrading in 1985 when a good friend got me hooked on 2 meters so I upgraded to Technician. After that I bought a Kenwood TS530SP and continued operating CW in the Novice bands and started listening to 20 phone. I quickly upgraded to General class. Then about a year later in 2 months I upgraded to Advanced then Extra. It was 2 or 3 years before I decided to change my callsign before all the 2x1 calls were gone. I live in Montclair, NJ (FN20vt) which is in Essex County. I enjoy operating 40 and 20 meter CW and PSK31. I also operate 144 and 432 MHz Phone, CW and FM. I have some awards, WAC, WAS and DXCC with 256 worked and 182 confirmed with the ARRL. One day I will go through the shoe box to find about another 30 or so cards I need to submit. I belong to the Raritan Bay Radio Amateurs (RBRA) in Sayreville, NJ which operates a crossband repeater on 146.760 and 443.200 and they also have Echlink installed (Node 155581) where I monitor most of the day. Recently my son Dave (KC2SIS) got his Tech license and is now studying for General then extra. I guess this is more than enough, looking forward to chatting with you all. Oh yeah I run an "Anti-Radioshack" website at: http://www.radioshacksucks.biz/forums As a guest you can only view 4 or 5 forums, register and there are many more. We also run VBulletin and the site looks exactly like this one. |

Thanks for the ID Dave.
Great to have you here. I know that you are probably busy at QRZ.com with the Admin duties there. Thanks for taking the time to drop in. I will check out your site. I hate rat shack also. As a young lad I spent every friday night in there adding things to my wish list. Was like a child in a toy store. Now I find no reason to even bother. Thanks again for sharing. |
