I am a Florida native. I have been employed by the Broward County Goverment for 20+ years. Anyway I am mostly on the 20,40,75 Meter band usally on the 3905CCN on 40 ( 7.178 & 7.2335 ) & 75 ( 3.902 )meter nets. You can find info for this DX & Worked all states Awards Net at www.3905ccn.net. I am active in the Gold Coast Amateur Radio Club. I am one of the Tech directors for our repeaters and now I am also vice president of this club. We operate several different repeaters 146.610/146.820/442.500. Our newest edition is a 1.2/440/144 D-Star System. It seems to be working well and gateway to the Internet is up and running. Hope to hear any one out of state soon. Check our website for more info... www.w4bug.org
