About W8CGA
Hi.
Name is Mike, Located about 18 miles from Centerburg, Ohio, the geographic center of the state. My altitude is 1200 feet. This area is called The Central Highlands.
Licensed in 1989 as KB8LPO. Got out of radio for a while and when I got back in I missed my grace period by two weeks.
So I re-tested, ended up with KD8TQN just didn't like that call at all. Since my most recent work was with the Navy and Coast Guard, I went with something Coastie, hence W8CGA. My partner is an Extra, Linda is pretty good at tests. Her call is W8LBB.
Sold off a lot of my equipment, trying to simplify my life. HI HI Now I mostly run an ICOM IC-7300 with a MFJ-994B auto tuner and an ALS-600 to either a 75 meter dipole or 130 ft end fed. Thinking about a full wave loop for 160.
