Radio Hobby

I took up ham radio and shortwave listening while locked in at home during the pandemic. I love to listen to far away places on shortwave like Radio New Zealand Pacific or Radio Nikkei in Japan. Radio Havana Cuba had surprisingly good English language programming about atmospheric conditions, but I haven't picked them up for a while.

On the ham bands, I often listen to the PSRG repeater nets where I infrequently make check-ins. My callsign is KM7AOT.
