Amateur Radio - NIØF Bio
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/
