My Amateur Radio Journey
Learning through experimentation
Welcome to KQ4SRN Radio Command. I am a General Class amateur radio operator located in Leesburg, Florida.
My interest in amateur radio includes HF voice, digital modes, software-defined radio, antennas, emergency communications, satellites, CW, and radio-related technology projects.
I enjoy experimenting with different antenna configurations, improving my station, learning new operating techniques, and connecting with other operators around the country and the world.
This website documents my station, projects, operating experiences, equipment, and lessons learned along the way.
