Please call me RANDY. My original and only callsign is KA4AQM. Received this call in 1979 when the FCC came to Augsburg, Germany to give ham radio tests to the troops stationed there. At the time, I was assigned to Operating Location A 2143 Communications Squadron, Grafenwoehr Army Installation as an Air Force NAV-AIDS maint tech. Retired with 24 years in the USAF as a Chief Master Sergeant (E9). Now working in the civilian world until my house is paid off. Was off-the-air from 1995-2005, then resurrected my TS-830S.  Just completed my last contact for WAS (2009). Now I can continue working on my DXCC!

If you have ever been in Rocky Mount, NC and eaten @ BOB MELTON'S Bar-B-Q, next to the Tar River, then you have eaten some of the best barbeque in the world. That's part of my family tree!

Proudest accomplishment is harmonic, KD4GIH. Peace to all my ham brothers and sisters...enjoy ham radio, make a contribution to make it better and don't take it too seriously!
