As a current holder of the Advanced class license, I am active in cw, ssb, digital, qrp, chasing DX, hf mobile, D-star, satellite (soon hopefully) and anything that interests me. I am president of the Hampden County Radio Association and ARRL WMA ACC, and the 13 Colonies Team K2H Massachusetts state manager, Big E Booth organizer, and other things along the way. I live in Longmeadow MA with my very understanding wife Faye for the past 32+ years and have one son Jacob (KB1NSN) now 28 years old. As long as ham radio is fun and interesting, I'll be active in it. So far for the past 46 years, it has not let me down.

Charles Smith, KC1IKA
I had considered getting licensed for decades before I finally took the Technician and General class tests in November of 2017. The hurricane devastating Puerto Rico was what finally got me going. I knew from the beginning I wanted to be involved in Emergency Communications. Within a year I volunteered for a Net Control Station position. Soon after, i was asked to become an Emergency Coordinator for Eastern Hampden County then was asked to take over as Assistant Section Emergency Coordinator for Western Mass. Before ham radio I was heavily involved in Public TV, including live, on air spots. Radio is a lot easier and you can do it in your pajamas. I am also a Skywarn NCS for Western Mass and a CERT radio operator for Westfield.
