[HamGateNY] Welcome to HamGateNY

[David Bamford]

Okay, time for me to introduce myself as well:

Name here is Dave / W2DAB in Manhattan/NYC.  I am currently working towards setting up a PBBS using a FT-2980 Mobile Radio at the home QTH with a Coastal Chipworks TNC-Pi and a Raspberry Pi with a small touchscreen.  I haven’t progressed to the software phase but I have confirmed that the hardware is working.  I will be reaching out to the group for anyone with a similar setup who can help me progress further.

I have been a ham since 2004 with interests in Emcomm, digital and CW.  I am currently working on my application to join the USCG Auxiliary at one of the Flotillas in the area. Covid-19 has stalled that a bit but I am using the down time to obtain my GROL license to supplement my radio communications skill set.  My other interests are QRP, Building, Arduino and Raspberry Pi.

I hope to take advantage of this group more not that everyone is identifying with their bios and interesting backgrounds. Thank you to Charles / N2NOV for his work and patience.

73 all!

Dave / W2DAB
