We shall introduce ourselves again....

[markndeb1970]

Hello again, I did a "introduce yourself" at the main home page earlier and what to my surprise a ham forum right here in the RV Forum. I am Mark KB9OPW and my wife is Debie KC9SCA (as of last Tuesday evening). We can't wait to really get into this forum and really look around! We are in a newer TT this year and haven't as of yet installed a "shack" in it, but is soon to be.
73's all around!
Mark & Deb

I am new to this forum, so while I am here I'll introduce myself...

My Call Sign is K9ERG. I have been continuously licensed since Sept 1956 (I guess that makes me a real OT).

I retired a few years ago (electronics engineering) and have been full-time RVing for 10+ years - started out in a 20 ft Prowler, moved up to a 25 ft. Coachmen and now am in a 30 ft. Four Winds. I just took delivery a week ago, on the new one so I don't have my antennas mounted yet.

I spent 4.5 years as a camp host at Illinois Beach State Park, near Zion, IL. Surprisingly, at one time, four of us hosts were Hams.

My field of expertise is antennas and I have some rather simple answers to the questions about mounting antennas on  an RV. For some basic antenna theory, read my antenna page at: http://k9erg.tripod.com/theory.htm

73,

Welcome, Paul.  Check your URL, it gives a 404 (page not found) error.

I was K9OQL many, many years ago.  I got my original ticket around the same time as you.  Now I'm KD5DRA.

CQ  TT,

You have many great adventures ahead.

I ran TS440 with a Hustler on the ladder for awhile, currently running Ic7000 on dash of Motorhome with an E Z lifter on the back to run antenna up.

Lots of hams around.  Check these folks out:  http://rvsvcnet.wbcci.net/

The correct URL is http://k9erg.tripod.com/theory.htm.

This time I checked it in "preview".
