About Me:
My handle is
Shannon. I am fairly new to Amateur radio. I remember as a kid in
the 70's my father using a CB during family trips. In 1987 a friend
reintroduced me to CB. I was hooked (through the late 80's). I used
radios while serving 20 years in the U.S. Army as an Infantryman. I
have done 3 tours of combat to Iraq and Afghanistan. My brother
(K5SGD) finally talked my cousin (KF5WPN) and I into getting our
tickets. I received my Technician ticket in June of 2013 (why did I
wait so long?). In July 2013 I received my General Class ticket and
later that month I returned and received my Amateur Extra license. I
am a member of the Rockwall Amateur Radio Club. I am a Certified
Volunteer Examiner for ARRL and W5YI.
