W1KRP
First licensed as KB1DLM I applied for callsign W1KRP in reference to my all time favorite TV show "WKRP in Cincinnati " with the likes of DJ Dr Johnny Fever and of course the news anchor of all news anchors..Les Nesman!
Classic TV? You Betcha.
Anywho, name here is Dick and my QTH is Ellsworth, ME. I run a Kenwood TS-930S with a Kenwood manual tuner for primary HF thru a 80M dipole and a 20M resonant end-fed dipole. I also have a Radio Shack 10M rig into a Antron 99 vertical. VHF consists of a Yaesu FT-1802 2M in the shack along with a HTX-242 into a Compaq 'puter' for packet radio, both radios are thru copper j-poles. A Yaesu VX-170 is my carry around HT and I have a Radio Shack 420 HT for 440 and 2 M backup in the shack. I have a FT-2500 in my wife's Jeep and another FT-1802 in my truck.
I can be contacted thru the Hancock County EMCOMM 2M repeater 146.910/151.4 tone or 146.565 simplex. Another great repeater here in Hancock County is the 147.030/100 tone W1TU machine! Both are open machine for all to use, so make noise the next time you are thru here!!!
