I am an English guy living near Coney Island Brooklyn New York, I have always been involved with electronics as a hobby and in work , I moved to New York on a work assignment in 2007 and started to listen to the http://TWIT.TV network and tHam Nation since it started along with the guy's at http://www.amateurlogic.tv this got me interested in Ham Radio in 2012 I got my Technician ticket (first Call sign KD2BWC) and then General and Extra along with a new vanity K2BAG call sign, 2017 I became an ARRL VE.
I can often be found lurking on the Ham Nation and ALTV chatrooms as K2BAG_John and I am +JohnBaggott on google plus.
