About

Welcome to my amateur radio page!

Here’s a little bit about me. I’ve had a lifelong interest in radio starting out when I was a kid trying out different techniques to pull in distant AM/FM radio stations. I spent hours as a kid trying to pull in distant AM and FM stations just so that I could get their call letters. My uncle gave me a CB radio when I was about 10-11 years old and that really drove my interest further.

At one point in my late teens, I auditioned for entry into the Columbia school of broadcasting but soon figured out I wasn’t up for any DJing gigs. I was pretty shy and just didn’t put myself out there. People have often told me I have a voice for radio.

Fast forward many years later, I decided (now that the kids are grown) I needed to stop making excuses and put the time in and get my amateur license. In late 2023 I started studying to get my tech license and passed it in January of 2024, I then continued studying for another month and got my general. I probably would have gotten my license 15 or 20 years earlier had it not been for the code. I was just not into CW and that really discouraged me from pursuing amateur radio.

Here’s a little backstory on my call sign. People that are local to Atlanta might be familiar with WNNX “99X FM” which was a dominant radio station in the 1990s and into the early 2000s. It was a station I grew up listening to and it just so happens that the call letters make for a very unique amateur call sign W4NNX. I just had to grabbed it as my vanity call.

That’s about it for me, thanks for reading this far.
