KØXM Charles M. 'Chuck' Kraly Smithville, MO QCWA # 38022 Chapter 35

First Call: NØBIW issued in 1980       Other Call(s): KØCMR

I am normally called "Chuck", but some will add "other" nicknames, and some I wear very proudly...hihi.

First licensed in November 1979, with the callsign of N0BIW which I held until November 1998. Interests include Contests, DXing, and building repeaters . I am one of the founders of the Backyard Repeater Group, and we put on the 1st D-Star system here in the KC area. Presently we are building and developing the DMR network here in KC.

I am getting back into HF, but in a new way. MOBILE. I am running a IC706MK2G and Little Tarheel 2 from my Ford Explorer. I find Mobile CW to be a lot of fun. And have been chasing DX heavily.

This has allowed me to work China, Japan, and Norway from Kansas City on 80 cw and many more on 40cw. All my K0XM and N0BIW logs are on LOTW
