About Me

My photo
Welcome to my little piece of the cyberworld. I am an Amateur Extra Class ham radio operator from Kentucky. In addition to ham radio, other interests include paddling kayaks and canoes, camping, flyfishing, shooting and photography...I am a major Jimmy Buffett fan (fans are known as Parrotheads). But, location, work and finances sort of got in the way of being a beach bum as a career. I am also an animal lover and have several pets. I also have a Facebook page at steve.kj4kki.

Update

While other parts of Kentucky literally got destroyed, we did o.k.  Tornadoes warnings were posted for the south and north of town, but I don't think anything other than trees suffered major damage locally.  Even the hail and high wind seemed to have missed my part of town.

I've also had good luck in turning my radio power down.  I've been running it between 25 and 50 watts and getting very good reports.  I haven't been able to be on the radio much at all lately, but I'm going to try and experiment more with 5 watts as I can.

Anyway, that is about all for now.
