My interest in amateur radio started late in life, when I got my license in 2024 at age 50. My dad was a ham in his youth and let his license lapse before I was born, but he still talks fondly about it. WB2HOC was his call sign back in the 1960s, so I picked it up in homage to my dad.
My interests include POTA, SOTA, learning CW, digital modes, portable ops, QRP, building wire antennas, and combining radio with other outdoor pursuits. I'm a member of the Maryland Mobileers Amateur Radio Club, Long Island CW Club (No. 7242), Straight Key Century Club (No. 30552), QRP Amateur Radio Club International, Maryland Radio Outdoors, and No Such Amateur Radio Club.

Had my QRP 40 m (left) and 20 m (right) spooled EFHW antennas out, and they were looking a little photogenic. Sharing for your enjoyment if you like gear photos.
