If you work me while I am mobile, please include both sent and recieved signal reports.

I was introduced to ham radio by my grandfather, KØVOC, Oscar Halvorson. In July of 2008 I recieved my Technician License and in September of 2008 recieved my General License.

I operate on 2 meters on a Yaesu FT-2800M. I operate on HF with a set of Kenwood 599 Twins and a Kenwood TS-130SE  mostly on 40 and 80 meters on voice PSK31 and SSTV.

I'm enjoying getting to know more and more of the Minot and other area hams and am a member of the Souris Valley Amatuer Radio Club. They are a great group of guys, are very supportive and usually have the answers when you've got questions. I enjoy our local Sunday Night Nets on 2 meters.

I enjoy operating on traffic and data nets: 

North Dakota Data Net: 3.937 M-F 6:30pm CST

North American Traffic and Awards Net: 
3905 kHz at 0245z  Mon, Tues, Wed, Fri, Sat

During the day I am a K-12 music teacher for Bowbells Public School, home of the Eskimo Marching Band. In August of 2008 U.S. Senator Byron Dorgan selected our band to represent the state of North Dakota in the 2009 National Memorial Day Parade. GO ESKIMOS!! 

I also enjoy woodworking.
