About Me

Hello readers!

My name is Dennis. Let me tell you a little bit about myself.

I have been an amateur radio operator since 1997. I passed my basic certification when I was 15 years old. After being fairly active for a couple of years, I went to college and dropped out of the hobby for a few years. I attempted to get back in off and on but not having a whole lot of money to spend on proper gear I didn’t stick around long. I finally got back in to the hobby again in 2014, now that I have my own house and can install equipment as I wish.

I am a member of the Yarmouth Amateur Radio Club in Yarmouth, NS Canada.

In my professional life, I am owner / operator of my own business. I provide tech and IT support to businesses in the local area. Acting as a jack of all trades in IT. Prior to this I was in technical support, then I did a stint as a team lead for a tech support department, and then was working on projects for a while. All with various different companies that provided services for VoIP (voice over IP) telephony and unified communications systems.

My shack now consists of a Icom IC-756 (HF+6m) transceiver and a Yaesu FT-1900R (2m) transceiver. Contrary to what was here before, I now spend 90% of my HF time chasing DX on FT4 and FT8.
