I have been a licensed ham since 1990.  Before that, I spent many years exclusively on the CB or 11 meter band, primarily working SSB.  I am not ashamed of that, and have many friends who have progressed from there to get their amateur license as I did.  I primarily enjoy rag chew on the 10 and 40 meter bands, and usually monitor the 6 meter band for any openings.

I am one of the founding members of the Margarita & Martini Chapter of 1010 International.  You can visit www.mmchapter.org for more details on the Chapter or www.ten-ten.org for details on 1010 International.  My 1010# is 57475 and my local MM Chapter number is 11FM.  You may also view videos of the MM Chapter weekly net taken from my own ham shack at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EirncuyVb-0.

I also am a Member of the North Georgia Chapter of 1010, and my New South Number is 2027.

 In my early years as a ham, I was involved in the creation of the Southeastern Linked Repeater Net by serving as the original net control.  I still serve as a back-up net control when needed.  Information on the Net can be found at http://selinkedrepeater.net or by entering the name of the Net into your favorite search engine.  This Net meets every Wednesday evening at 9 Eastern Time on a variety of repeaters in the Southeastern USA.

Finally, I enjoy several digital modes, including PSK31 and RTTY.  I primarily operate digital on 10, 20, 30, and 40 meters.  My 30 Meter Digital Group # is 1196.

I hope to chat with you soon on the bands.
