Hi, my name is Joe and since 15 December 2022 I have my Class A Ham Radio License.
Before, I had a Class E Novice License from 27 June to 14th December.
I started with CB radio almost 30 years ago. After a few silent years, I started last year again with CB radio.
And now I have found a big playground for experiments. There are so many things to try in ham radio. Every day there are interesting new things to discover and, above all, new contacts with people from all over the world.
But ham radio is not my only hobby. Beekeeping is another hobby. Or Hiking, Camping and Geocaching.
You are welcome to contact me.
