W2WCR November Member Spotlight:
KD2YRB - SHane Gray
The Spark: What was your "Aha!" moment that first pulled you into the world of amateur radio?
My Elmer Bill N2VOT being persistent on getting me to take the test and get my license.
The First Contact: Tell us about your very first QSO. Who was it with, and how many times did you have to check your notes before hitting the PTT?
My first contact was to Teddy VP2ETE on 10m. At least once or twice.
The Gear Head: If your shack was on fire and you could only grab one piece of gear (after family and pets), what would it be and why?
My FT-991A, it was my first HF rig, it’s a phenomenal radio, and it’s my go-to rig.
The "Why" Factor: What is your favorite "niche" within the hobby right now? (e.g., CW, digital modes, POTA/SOTA, or building antennas).
POTA, FT8, Field Day/WFD
The Lesson Learned: What’s the most "spectacular" mistake you’ve made in radio that actually taught you something valuable?
I melted two Powerpole connectors together because I did not insert the end into the one coupler far enough.
The Future View: What is one goal you’re currently chasing—is there a specific award, a new mode, or a technical skill you're working to master?
Becoming more proficient with FT8, and possibly other digital modes like PSK31
The Elmer’s Edge: What is one piece of advice you would give to a new ham just getting their Technician license?
Don’t feel like you have to keep up with the Jones’s, as far as having to have the latest and greatest equipment, and having to master every new mode right away.
The W2WCR Connection: What is your favorite memory or experience involving the Warren County Radio Club?
Operating on FD and WFD with the club, and the camaraderie.
