Hello from Raleigh NC.

My name is Bob and I used to have the following callsigns:
            OE3RGC 1970-1980     KBØLH 1980-1995     KB3TJS 2009-2010     KB4RGC 2010- current

I used to design and build transmitting sites for shortwave broadcasting. I was Chief Engineer at WSHB (2x500kW)in the 90's then Project Director at WEWN (4x500kW) in Birmingam AL.

Then I spent 6 years with George Jacobs & Assoc. in Marylanddoing frequency coordination for International Broadcast and develop software for frequency coordination and remote HF monitoring systems.

Then after another 8 years as software engineer in Maryland I retired and moved to Raleigh NC.

You can catch me on the JARS 147.270 MHz repeater, on the Carolina 440system or on my EchoLink simplex node# 487415. On VHF the Simplex node is on 146.490 MHz PL 100.0 Hz

Right now I am mainly on VHF/UHF FM and do a lot of SSB and CW on 2m. Also into APRS and Winlink. Next year I am going to start thinking about getting a HF antenna back up.
