I'm fairly new to amateur radio, but am slowly learning and building up a collection of equipment. Right now my only radio is a Kenwood TH-D7 running into a Mirage BD-35 Amp. I really like it because i can talk on the local repeaters and be doing APRS at the same time. I hope to spend a bit more time with the radio side of my interests. Currently, i'm studying up on the sats and am looking forward to making my first contact soon. If you're in the Kansas City area and are into the satellites drop me a line. I'd like the opportunity to steal some of that knowledge. I'm also into computers, photography, driving aimlessly and my family. I'm married with a (now 8 month old) little girl. I'm 28 and work in Telecom.
