KK6OOT on the air….

Hello Everyone,

I recently took my Ham radio Technician exam at the Defcon 22 Hacker conference in Las Vegas, NV hosted by ConHam.org . There we had nearly 30 VEs grading tests in shifts for over 3 hours. At last count, I believe nearly 190 individuals received new licenses, or upgraded their current licenses. This was indeed an epic event!

On August 20th, 2014, I was assigned the epic Double Double callsign, KK6OOT!

That said, I’ve always been interested in RF, and Hams in general… I just wish I had gotten into it years ago.

I live in grid DM13mb in Escondido, CA on the side of Starvation Mountain. Elevation is about 1600ft, and I have a clear view of the west to northeast.

If you want to reach me, I’m usually on the following local repeaters:

Ramona: 145.300

Escondido: 146.880

Rancho Bernardo: 146.790
