Any Ham Operators On the Site?

[Skamaniac]

I'm an amateur (ham) radio operator (call sign K7KWN) and was wondering if anyone else on the site runs a rig and what band(s) you utilize. I run mostly VHF repeaters for search and rescue operations but hold a General license for other bands as well. Anyone else run ham?

My grandfather was OM (Old Man)... but now Silent Key (SK) ...deceased... :crying01: It was fascinating to witness the chattering as a kid- the morse code... http://oldqslcards.com/w2zby.pdf Here's his profile active 1947-2003. He lived in Key West for many years. Good luck finding some Hams on here!

Tanacat, thanks for that story and link to your grandfather's 1953 QSL card! I love those old cards! Saddened to learn he is SK, he would have been fun to talk to and could have taught me a lot.
