Amateur radio (often called "ham radio") has been my hobby for over 40 years. You could probably say that it has been something that has defined me from childhood to now. My ham radio call issued by the Federal Communications Commission is "KØLUZ". There are as many people in the world who know me as KØLUZ as there are who know me by my real name.

My interests in amateur radio are far away communications (DXing), competing with other stations from the United States (Stateside Contesting), competing with other stations throughout the World (Worldwide Contesting) by operating somewhere else than the United States, and all the interesting people that share the hobby with me.

ham radio jargon)

This guy has to be a librarian! He has cataloged every ham site you can think of. If you can't find it here, then what you're looking for isn't ham radio related.
