This website covers several areas related to the amateur radio hobby. The hobby offers a variety of diverse aspects to get involved with. From talking around the world on 'short wave' to satellite communications. For an introduction to ham radio see ARRL website www.arrl.org .
I was first licensed as a Novice WN4TUR around 1971 and shortly thereafter as WB4TUR with a General class license. In the mid-80's I upgraded to Extra class. I have enjoyed this 'ham' radio hobby for over 30 years. From talking to people around the world using shortwave voice (SSB) and morse code (CW) to local repeater communications on FM.
I upgraded my WB4TUR call sign to W4XE in 2001.
I am now active in the ARMY Military Affiliated Radio Service (MARS). My MARS call sign is AAT4UU.
