I'm an Amateur (Ham) Radio operator, callsign KD8GBL. I've been licensed since October 2005, and currently hold a General-class license.

Radios

My current primary radios are a Yaesu FT-60R, (a nice dual-band handheld), and an FT-817ND (all-band, all-mode portable QRP). A Kenwoood TM-733 (dual-band, dual-recieve mobile) and an Icom ID-1 (1.2GHz digital) round out my portable station-in-a-box. First-floor apartment living puts a damper on much HF operation, so as much as I might like a more potent base rig, that will have to wait.

Other Project Notes

Local Groups

Local groups I'm involved with include the St. Paul Radio Club, TwinsLAN, and the 145.67 Mhz Packet Net.
