I was licensed as a Technician in June 2006, Upgraded to General Feb. 2007. Slowly working on my extra now.

I haven't hardly operated recently. I turn on 442.650, and 146.700 in Indianapolis while I'm in the car.

A net however, I could get involved with.

KG9KF here. Advanced class license. Have some old tube-type HF gear. Heathkit HW101 10-80 meter transceiver. Like to operate QRP CW just for the challenge. "Work the world on 5 watts". Father in law got me interested in early 90's. Licensed since 1992.

Use my little VHF/UHF handheld to listen in on the local repeaters. Do some volunteering on occasion-mini marathon, etc.

Fun stuff!

WI9NDY also known as AFA1CY (Air Force Military Affilate Radio )System

Licensed in 1977 as WD9CYI.

Extra class

An older configuration of my station. I have upgraded the tuner to the MFJ Versatuner II, and have a Yeasu FT2600M into a Diamond X300A dual band at 25' The IC718 is fed into a 75' longwire.

Ok I'll play! Got my no-code tech license in 1992 as N9OFY. Upgraded to General and then Advanced later that year and changed my call to KF9JW. Mostly operate on 2m and 440 but have been known to work 40m, 20m, 15m, and 10m CW and SSB.

Someday if I do more HF work I'd like to upgrade to Extra, but it's kinda nice having a license class that no one can get anymore.

I'm KB9RDL, stay on 145.330, mostly for weather nets and all things storm chasing.

Could definately be part of a net sometime, some where

WB9OKR, license in 1974. Currently inactive, but who knows what the future may bring. I may grow up and get back into hamming at 80 or so.
