Greetings fellow hams,
I spend most of my time on HF using the digital modes
Pactor-II and Pactor-III. My station is on the air
24 hours per day and I scan the following frequencies with an activated
mailbox. Please call (AE4TM) any time and leave a message.
3587/99 7079/103 10137/46 14079/97 18108/109 21079/98 24928 28079/138 [mark].
In addition to these, I can sometimes be reached on my mobile
Pactor-II/III station where
I scan the following frequencies using the callsign AE4TM-2:
3587/99 7079/103 10137/46 14079/97 18108/109 21079/98 24928 28089/138 [mark].
During holidays, I can sometimes be heard on 6m/2m/70cm/1.2GHz/10GHz FM from selected
14,000+ foot mountain tops across the United States. I work FM voice as well as APRS
from my handheld
Kenwood TH-D7 or YAESU VX 7R while hiking, backpacking, and mountaineering.
My interests in Ham Radio include propagation research,
digital mode testing,
APRS, SSTV,
Pactor-I/II/III, CW,
satellites,
microwaves,
and superconductivity.
Good luck,
Ed AE4TM
