Ham

K1DRS
I have wanted to be a HAM since I was a small boy. I was always fascinated with radios and communications over the airwaves, unfortunately I was never able get past the code (Morse Code) requirements of the early days. Thus, I ended up getting involved in CB radios and the local CB clubs, which were popular and fun back in those days. CB Radio has never had very good range and had some sever limitations on them to remain legal. After I go into Motorcycles I always figured out ways to put CB radios on my Motorcycles until I bought my first Goldwing, which came factory installed with a CB. From there I became involved in Charity events where we on Motorcycles and using CB radios would patrol the bicycle charity event routes helping riders where we could and using the CB’s to communicate to other Motorcycles if more help was needed. This was always spotty at best but we made due.
Along came my buddy Roger who I met because he saw my 1998
Goldwing on my WEB page. He lived a couple blocks from me and had just
purchased his Goldwing, which was the same year and color as mine. Roger was a
long time HAM radio guy having lived in Boston and was often seen in the wee hours
of the night providing phone patch radio transmissions to folks up in the
Artic. After meeting Roger he informed me that the code requirements were
removed for Technician class Hams and so there began my journey of HAM Radio
operator.
but be
aware that sometimes the FINDU server is slow and even down.
My original call sign assigned from the FCC was KG6FNH but I decided to get a Vanity call sign and so now it has been changed to K1DRS.
