Hi Everyone,

I have been active for almost 3 decades on and off. My first callsign was KA2NGU. Since I was living in Germany at the time with my parents with a Status Of Forces stamp in my passport I was able to apply for a 'DA' callsign in Germany. At the time I was most active on 80 meters, 10 meters and 2 meters on the Ochesenkopf repeater.

My father, Phil Tatro, was also a ham until he passed away.

His callsigns were: KC4DVT and KA2TQF

Now I am active mostly on 2 meters, 70 cm and HF protable. I currently use this QSL card - my license plate - bugs and all.

I use random wire antennas and support my local club, www.bvarc.org. In 2012 I organized our field day among other things and currently I am helping with the Greater Houston Hamfest.

I am also the author of HamExam in the windowsphone.com store. (Download here)

Ron Litt (K5HM) and myself have activated our club callsign, KK5W, for Texas State Parks on the air. I just created a website for our state park, Mustang Island.

Please let us know if you would like to visit us at our mini DX-Expedition to Mustang Island.

73,

Matt Tatro
