KA9WLU'S HAM RADIO PAGE

Welcome to my ham radio page. Here is where you'll learn about ham radio. Ham radio is kinda like CB,but you have to take a test to obtain a license from the FCC(Federal Communications Commission) and they'll issue a callsign. Which is a way to identify yourself. Mine is KA9WLU. My great uncle KA9WLU who just became a silent key 7-20-10 got me started in ham radio. I have his callsign now. This is pretty much my life. Not only do I look at it from a hobby stand point,but as a good source of emergency communications. So many people rely on cellphones, computers/internet and landline,but when the power goes out or your cellphone doesn't have service or whatever the case maybe ham radio operators are to the rescue . I'm part of RACES(RADIO AMATUER CIVIL EMERGENCY SERVICES) as well as my local Emergency Management Agency(EMA). I'm also a VE with the W4VEC team Jay Wright KK9L's team. Danville,IN. Please if you have any further questions feel free to email me. YA ALL COMEBACK NOW YA HEAR. Please leave your comments on the comment page of what you think about my site. Thanks.
