I’m a retired Navy Chief and I’m also retired from the Army (Civilian service). I received my Technician license in October 2024; General in May 2025 and I’m going to try and get my Extra in 2026. I’m really enjoying this hobby and at my QTH I primarily use the Yaesu FT-710 I also have a Yaesu FTX-1 Optima that I use for POTA and as my rig when traveling in my RV. I really enjoy working POTA as both an Activator and a Hunter but mostly as a Hunter. I also love working FT8/FT4, other digital modes and I will be trying my hand at some Satellite work soon, I hope.
