I am now a Deputy Sheriff for Graham County, Kansas in Hill City, Kansas. I have been in Law Enforcement for 32 years and looking foward to retirement so I can play with my radios more.

I just got into Ham radio in Feburary 2007. I got my General ticket in October 2007 and my Extra ticket March 2009.I changed my call sign from KC0ZSM to N0NM. I love to play with antennas and experiment with making them.(pictures)

I love to ragchew with anyone that wants to on SSB and PSK 31. I just got started into RTTY and I am having a blast with it. Learning the code now. I am having fun with several oldtimers that have slowed down for me and teaching me the code. I use a paddle and just got my straight key. So if you hear me on please give me a call.

I am a member of several clubs.
