KM6TVJ

Geoffrey Mark, KM6TVJ, is one of the new kids on the block, a recent new amateur radio licensee.  Geoffrey has some fresh ideas and our QSO around his career in the entertainment industry, a pilot, and “maker” caused me to think of some non-traditional ways that we hams can communicate.  KM6TVJ is my QSO Today.

Rebuilds Ham Radios: Jay Simons, K6RIY – need reference
FT8 Mode, instant gratification

Greatest challenge facing amateur radio now: small percentage of hams who are rude or unfriendly to new hams. 

Excited most by: meeting new people

Advice to new or returning hams: Find a club; go be active.  Start a net on your local repeater.
