(X KA0JAW) now KU4ZD (Mike) --- Grid Square EN21cg
Active on, HF, VHF, UHF and other bands. Active on the digital modes, Fast and Slow Scan TV, APRS, Packet DMR and other modes. I enjoy repeater construction and other projects when I have time. I also do a lot of scanning, SDR receiving and GMRS.
I have alpha and beta tested a number of software projects over the years. Mostly radio related but a few business and security related as well. I have helped test a couple well know scanner control and programing packages, some digital ham packages, ham data base utilities, remote access ham utilities and other radio related software.
Just looking at my old call logs, my first contact as (KA0JAW) was on July 22, 1980 at 16:45 with KA8HUN, Don in Ohio on CW. I used a old Navy transmitter I converted with the help of my Elmer, a short wave receiver and a dipole just above my roof line as my first station.
