About
I'm a young(er) ham from Pennsylvania (FN20).
I spend time in the Poconos, in addition to spending a lot of my time outside of Philly.

How to find me
I spend most of my time on HF. If I'm lucky, during the day I'll be on FT8 around 20m - occasionally 10m if the solar conditions decide to be good for once. At night, I generally try to run 40m or 80m, but my EFHW doesn't complain too much if I push it to 160m (~5 SWR)
My rig
Things I've spent too much money on.
- Yaesu FTDX10 (base), FT-891 (portable-ish)
- FTM-400XDR in the car
- 120' EFHW that I need to re-hang (maybe higher this time)
- "Mighty fine junk" tuner to get me on the lower bands
