Please have a look at the photos from the April VBARC Meeting when you get a chance!
bullet WT4M on Sunday 12 April 2009 - 00:50:20
I have an IC-7000, an AT-7000 and a Carolina Windom 80 Special. Should be able to work all bands!
bullet KJ4EZJ on Saturday 11 April 2009 - 14:12:56
That's great! What bands will you be able to work? When I get you on the air, I'll send some of the guys from two meters to say hi.
bullet WT4M on Saturday 11 April 2009 - 03:08:01
Yes, the license arrived with almost perfect timing! Hopefully they will extend my expiration upon request... I should be on the air in less than 2 weeks...
bullet KJ4EZJ on Friday 10 April 2009 - 21:45:54
Congratulations YI9TM!

Any way we could plug the merchandise? http://www.cafepress.com/vbarc
bullet KC4H on Saturday 04 April 2009 - 10:04:34
I checked in to the net last night so the cat is out of the bag. Besides.. everyone seems to recognize my voice. Couldn't hide for long. N4RAZ got to be my first contact using KC4H.
bullet WT4M on Saturday 04 April 2009 - 09:36:36
Hey guys! Yes, I got your email a couple of weeks ago, but was buried with stuff I had to get done in Baghdad! Great news about Jason's Extra! Sure didn't take him long! Quite an accomplishment!
bullet KJ4IWY on Saturday 04 April 2009 - 08:56:43

Hi John. Hows the weather?
bullet WT4M on Tuesday 31 March 2009 - 08:49:35
Just to keep you all in the loop... I am currently updating the site without FTP access. This means I am currently unable to upload graphics and whatnot.
I should have internet in my CHU by the 9th of March, until then updates to the site will not be what you've been accustomed to...
Other than that, been busy with my new job! I think I will be fully qualified to run a Jiffy Lube after doing this for 8 months! LOL...

K4AMG Memorial Amateur Radio Club
Local Ham Clubs
K4AMG Mission & Vision...

To provide amateur radio equipment to students who have studied and passed the Technician License Exam while enrolled in the WFOS broadcast radio class at the Chesapeake Center for Science and Technology.

This site is dedicated to honoring the memory of Robert G. Siff (Uncle Bob) 1919-2006.

Uncle Bob was a family man and US Navy veteran. He was an electronics enthusiast, businessman and innovator. Bob was involved in every aspect of ham radio. One of the founders of the Dayton Hamvention, the Sarasota Emergency Radio Club, the Sarasote power Squadron and the QCWA.

Uncle Bob was a political activist and supporter of the Sarasota Senior Center. His memory will live on through those that knew him and those that share his ideals.
Wakefield SKYWARN
Local Ham Clubs
The Wakefield SKYWARN Amateur Radio Support Team exists to help facilitate communication between Trained SKYWARN Spotters in the amateur radio community and the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Wakefield, Virginia.

The efficient collection of severe weather reports via amateur radio frees critical NWS staff from answering phones and allows them to focus on assessing weather scenarios and issuing appropriate warnings while still receiving necessary reports from Spotters in the field.

The Wakefield SKYWARN Amateur Radio Support Team exists to maintain and staff the amateur radio station at the National Weather Service Forecast Office, call sign WX4AKQ. The Team also continually works to grow and support a number of Trained Skywarn Net Control Stations who can run local subnets remotely and Trained Responders who can quickly and effectively operate WX4AKQ inside the Forecast Office.
