Going Mobile......

My first mobile radio arrived just in time for Christmas. I chose the Kenwood TM-D710A. The radio is very powerful with many slick features to keep me busy learning about. Not to shabby. It will make a great addition to my dash board. Get yours today!

Amateur Radio License Plates

After waiting 3 months, my specialty plates finally arrived. Amateur Radio License plates are available for anyone holding a valid FCC license. The one time cost currently is only $21.00! Not bad at all. If you are interested in obtaining your own plates go to http://www.dmv.ca.gov/ and search for the form REF 17A. The specialty plates are designed so that emergency personnel can identify those who could help with emergency communications during a disaster etc.

My First Ham Tower Climbed Ever.

What a thrill to climb a tower on top of Keller Peak (elev. 7,882 ft.). You feel like your on top of the world. I climbed the tower to relocate a friends antenna. It's not every day that you get to combine two hobbies into one - Ham Radio & Rock Climbing.
