Have had a desire to get involved in HAM radio since last year after deciding it was time to turn my hobby of storm chasing into more of a public service. After 11 years it finally dawned on me just how lazy and selfish it was to not participate on that level after witnessing what I have over the years. Looking to start down this path very soon!

EDIT: Learning Morse code was a squeak .

Was N5SDQ from 1977 thru 2000 then let the license lapse.  Still have a dual bander in the garage 'just in case' I get the bug again.

My grandfather was W3FC and W3LML until he passed. I still have a ton of his cards from operators around the world.

Very popular these days amongst the off road groups, though I often wonder why people post their call signs. Especially when they are so diligent to erase their plate numbers in pics.
Sounds good, works well, but my CV is setup well for off road and the usage is more user friendly. HAM will likely get there some day too.
