More radio FUN for Ohio Hams!

If you haven’t talked to Tom on the air, you’ll probably run into him at your next hamfest or other radio event.

Tom is always up for a QSO, whether it’s in the shack, the car, or in the back yard in the middle of Winter. Tom is the creative force behind the Freeze Your Acorns Off field event, held each February by the Portage County ARS.

No red-blooded ham would miss an opportunity to brag about his shack, and Tom is no exception. Here’s what you’ll find at Casa del WB8LCD:

· Ten-Tec OMNI-VII

· Yaesu 817

· 3-element Tri-bander on 40-ft Tower

· Assorted VHF/UHF Rigs

Tom is active on HF SSB, VHF, UHF, and digital modes. His CW needs some work.

There’s a lot of good things to say about Amateur Radio, and Tom enjoys getting to clubs and hamfests to spread the word.  He’s available to appear at your event to tell you how you can make your organization  dynamic and fun.

The problem with Field Day, as Tom saw things, was that it only came once a year. While Tom was president of Portage County ARS, the club established the Ohio State Parks On The Air contest, now in its third year. Tom usually operates from Tinkers Creek State Park.
