Amateur Radio

About

I got licensed in the fall of 2023, soon after I started my first year of uni through Northeastern Wireless (W1KBN). I was issued the callsign KC1TNB, but I decided to apply for a vanity in the following spring. Since April 2024, my callsign has been N1GNU.

So far, I've been using my license for radio experimentation, various HF activities and volunteering. I've helped out at the BAA Half-Marathons, the 2024 Boston Marathon and the Charlie Card Challenge (outrun the Green Line).

Equipment

I use a Retevis RT3S loaded with OpenGD77 firmware and a Signal Stick for all my VHF/UHF needs. Currently, I don't have my own HF rig, but considering getting something portable in the future.

POTA

Trying to be active with POTA stuff. Mainly, I hunt stations out of Boston, but want to do more activations. I just recetly did my first activation with KC1UBT at   Minute Man in Lexington, MA.
