On the air since 1997, I’ve operated from a variety of locations utilizing frequencies from 1.8 MHz to 1300 MHz. My interests lie in digital communications but you will find me utilizing voice and CW as well. I currently work from my fixed station located in FM17rc or from just about anywhere using my portable or mobile station.
I am an NTS Official Relay Station and serve as the liaison between Virginia and the Fourth Region (second cycle) and sometimes to the Eastern Area Net (second cycle). I also enjoy contesting and try to participate in many of the bigger contests each year.
My beautiful wife Amanda, KI4IWS, and I love to go adventuring and usually find a way to take amateur radio along with us on our journeys. Maybe we’ll make contact during one of our expeditions!
I’m often found on the Newport News 145.230MHz repeater or 146.520MHz. I can also be contacted digitally at:
