Greetings. A beginning is always a hard thing to do. I thought an brief introduction was in order for a start.
I am kd7jny, I have been an amateur radio operator for a long time. More exacting, I have had my license for a long time. I started off with a tech license. I held that for many years. While I did want to eventually get my general, it took until they dropped the Morse Code requirement for me to get my general. For some reason, I just could never get the knack for listening and copying code. I've held my general for a long time. at least since 2000. It's funny that I'm sort of fuzzy on all my dates. Needless to say at this point, I've had a license of some sort for at least 20 to 25 years.
Now the bad news is that I have not been active during all those years. My most resent break has been five years ago. This is when my wife and I decided to RV full time for a while. Had to get rid of most of my gear since we had to downsize to a really small RV. There was just no room for stuff. While we initially put a bunch of stuff in storage, that really only lasted a year and we downsized yet again. After three years on the road, we finally got a house again. The last two years have been trying to get the house in order and now I am finally able to get back to some sort of activities that include radio.
So that's the good news, I can finally start radio again. And that is what this blog will initially be about. My journey to restart doing Ham Radio again.
