WD4SRC

Welcome!

I am a licensed amateur radio operator (ham radio) based in Williamsburg, Kentucky, becoming newly licensed around the beginning of 2026.

During my early teen years (1960's / 1970's) one of my favorite hobbies was C.B. (Citizen Band) radio’s. A few years ago, I got the desire to get back into the hobby and on December 28th, 2025, I pursued an amateur radio operators license, passing the Technician (entry level), followed by the General (mid-level) test a week or so later Jan 9, 2026.  I will soon pursue the Amateur Extra (highest level).

My main base radio is a Yaesu FTdx101MP with many peripherals, I still admire vintage equipment of my youth years, I have a collection of working D-104’s and am eager to attend a ham fest. I am looking forward to all the new opportunities in the amateur radio world and meeting a lot of the many operators around the world.

I am honored and pleased to exchange eQSL cards with anyone, just drop me an email.

73's
