About Me

This is my very beautifulXYL Tetaarai and I in my Shack.

My name is Taketi Teriaki (Jake) born 8 Jan 1973. My first experience with radio was in 1999 I got a 40 channel Uniden Grant XL CB Radio. My CB radio modified and it can reach 27.555 MHZ. I joined a DX Club in the 11mtr band here and had a great time with the DX. After learning more about radio and the other bands available I decided to get my Amateur License. I was granted a license in September of 2010. It took me a while to acquire a rig other then my 11 meter setup. In 2012 I was able to acquire my Yaesu FT-450D I made my first Amateur radio contacts with my new friends on the ANZA DX net. The stations on the ANZA net treated me well and helped me as a new ham. I had issues with my license here in Kiribati. With the help Col VK4CC, Lyn VK4SWE,Peter VK4BT,David W7DN and my QSL Manager Brian W7JET. This group of hams were able to get my license straightened out so I could confirm your DXCC contact with Western Kiribati. I am very blessed to have met such wonderful people. Ham radio is a wonderful hobby to make friends around the world.
