I was invited by Bob NA4BH to come here. Thanks Bob! I am a misfit ham. I will not or ever will be a member of the ARRL. I disagree too much what they have to say. I quit being a member of any ham club. Ham Radio is ONLY a hobby. I want to stay away from the politics. Speaking about politics, I do like to talk about it on the air.
Besides Ham Radio, which actually is my 2nd hobby. I love trains. I wold rather go to a model railroad convention than a hamfest! However, in my modeling, there is a house that has a tower with a beam and a dipole on the layout! My favorite railroad is the Rock Island Line. I have more invested in my model trains than I do in ham radio station!
I do have HF-UHF abilities. I love to talk about trains and our state of affairs. Those who try to control me, really gets under my skin.
Thanks for listening to my rant. 73 and have a good day,
Andy KF4JQD
