About Me: Hello, my name is Tom and my ham radio call sign is KD4WOV. I am a multi generational Floridian (one or more of my parents were born in Florida) I have been doing electronics for many years. started out with simple things like playing with am broadcast recievers and way back in those days i talked to my dad's friends and relitives on the CB. I also started listening to Shortwave. WOW that open up a new world. Voices from Around the World, came thru the speaker loud and clear. To me it was amazing, that a signal transmitted from a far away place could be heard like they were accross the street. This is what got me interested in radio and has lead to a life long interest in communications of all types. Besides radio, and electronics, I like Theology, science, physics, computers, and good debates. I also like reading. I have several Kindle readers, A Papper white, Kindle touch, Kindle Keyboard, and a Kindle Fire 8HD. I like a program called Calibre. It works great with the kindles and managing content on them. I am a ham radio operator. My Ham Call is KD4WOV. I have been a ham for more than 25 years. I work as a 2 way radio Technician, and have for many years. I also hold a comercial FCC GROL. I live in Florida. I am an electronics engineer by training. I love to work on radios and electronics. I have been on the internet since about 1988. I love IRC and Jabber. I use Linux Everyday, only used windows when i have to. Love the Bible and Thology. Even Preach when the oppotunity happens. Politics, Religeon and Computers are 3 of the most controveral subjects. More to come later.
