A lot of formatting is probably screwed up. I'll get around to fixing the CSS at some point. 73.</div>

In case you couldn't tell from the menu on the left; handle is Jay. I'm located in Manassas, VA; about 25 miles S/SW of Washington DC in grid FM18. I was originally licensed in 2015 as a General with callsign KM4JOJ. I upgraded to Extra in 2016 and received NQ4T in 2017.
I was in to shortwave radio as a kid, played around with CB when I was probably too young to have done so, and meant to get licensed much earlier in life than I did. It was something I had planned to do in my 20's; but I knew HF was where I wanted to be and BPL was a thing being tested in my area. I then got busy with what would be a 20 year career of fixing coin-op equipment. But, as I mentioned; I finally did so in 2015 while recovering from the spinal injury that would cause me to eventually leave my career. I joined the local club, <ahref="https://w4ovh.net"target="_blank">Ole Virginia Hams</a> after getting licensed and discovering they were nothing like the horror stories I'd read about other clubs.
