JUST AN OLD SAD HAM IN NORTHERN MICHIGAN
I am an old disabled guy living in an apartment so I can't to HF but I hope to get a QRP radio setup in the spring
Im not a follower, I consider my self a non-conforming ham. I am not interested in emergency comms, SKYWARN, traffic nets, or contesting. I like radios, antennas and having radio fun.
I listen a lot. I know what you did last summer.
Im looking for things I can tear apart and learn from this year.
Always looking for more radios for my radio garden.
I dont do phonetics or Q codes on FM or digital modes. i dont say things like... "on your final" i might say goathead or ovarie...
Sorry I dont log "DMR" or any internet based chats
to me its like logging my phone calls.
