Many folks have asked about my screen name. So, I thought I'd share this with everyone. It is my Amateur Radio call sign issued by the F.C.C. (N7CZ) I hold an Amateur Extra license and am an avid CW (morse code) operator. I also enjoy VHF/UHF weak signal modes. (CW, FSK441, JT44, and others)

My buddy and I spent a good part of this weekend putting up my new tower. I've attached a photo of me on the tower and a shot of the top with the antennas. I have one left to put up once it arrives from another friends place next month.

Anyway, there ya have it.

Holy crap! I just tore yesterday's page off my calender after reading your post and found out today is Columbus day! School being in session sure takes me out of the loop. I even missed John Lennon's birthday on Saturday. :cry:

BTW, looks like a fun project

Who do you talk to and where? Is it just for fun kind of like talking to people on the internet from around the world?

Hi Methos!
I talk to other Amateur Radio Operators. I am also involved in experimental communication using tiny meteors that hit the earth all the time.

I am also a registered "Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service" (RACES) station as well as an Amateur Radio Emergency Service station. (ARES). I am trained in several aspects of disaster support.
