Section Manager

I got my license in my mid-50’s and became interested in the emergency communications aspect of the hobby.  The local Permian Basin Ares Net gave me a start, followed by involvement in the Maritime Mobile Service Net. MMSN led to Winlink, the Hurrican Watch Net, SYWARN, RACES, repeaters, Echolink, Allstar, D-Star and onward  The adventure never ends.  You will always be able to learn something new in Amateur Radio.

I’ve been interested in Amateur Radio since I was 8 years old. I didn’t get my license until I started flying remote control aircraft and wanted to use 6m band for airplane control frequencies. Email: w5wi@arrl.org
