Amateur Radio - NIØF Bio

Head Shot

As a kid, I became friends with the local TV repairman who was a ham and had a station in the back of his shop.  I spent many an afternoon listening to his HRO 50.  I was originally licensed as a Novice in January 1990, immediately got the upgrade bug, worked around the clock on my code speed and passed the 13 wpm General a few weeks later.  I passed the Extra Exam Friday December 9, 2016.

I have been enjoying this hobby for over 30 years.

To all the operators who work me, thank you and I will confirm via LOTW, eQSL, QRZ and Club Log.  I upload to all systems every few days.  I will also send a paper card if you want/need that.

Previous call(s)  original call KBØFQM, WØDIT, ADØWS, KGØJ.

I was awarded the Rookie of the year in the KSQP in 2016.

I hope to be back with the 1x1 call KØK in 2024 in the Kansas QSO Party.  http://www.ksqsoparty.org/
