So where does ham radio come in?

My dad has been a news/talk radio broadcaster since the 1980s and I grew up in the radio station booth.

Growing up in the southern tornado alley I listened to the Skywarn Ham Spotters in the Concho Valley area.

Many of my fellow astronomers friends in San Antonio are hams and encouraged me to get my lincese. I starting hitting the books in October 2011. I earned my technican ticket November of 2011. Then in Janurary 2012 I passed my general exam. My Goal is the become an Extra Class ham in 2013 and I'm currently studying for the extra.

Locally, I monitor the some local repeaters in San Antonio, Texas area. If you are passing through town try for me on the AA5RO Repeater. You'll find me on Echolink occasionally. On HF I work 10m-40m SSB and PSK on VHF I'm on 2 meters and 6 meters, UHF on 70cm.
